Champion Nuggets react to Karl-Anthony Towns trade to Knicks

The Denver Nuggets began training camp this week before traveling to Abu Dhabi where they will face the Boston Celtics. It’s still early, but Jamal Murray says the team is more locked in after falling short last season against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Speaking at training, Murray told the press that he felt the difference between being a hunter and being hunted.

“I think every time you lose, it brings out that side of you and everyone,” Murray said. “So I think we’re on the right track and we’ve had some great competitive practices. I just think we’re all ready to go.”

Later in the interview, Jamal Murray was asked about the Timberwolves’ trade with the New York Knicks. The Wolves traded superstar Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks on Friday night for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a pick.

“No, I’m not on social media,” Murray said. “I just worry about us. I don’t really care about the others”

Denver lost in Game 7 to the Timberwolves last playoff series. The Nuggets have since lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope while adding Russell Westbrook and Dario Saric. Minnesota added Randle and DiVincenzo.

The trade is not yet official as the Knicks and Wolves still have some financial issues to resolve, but the deal is expected to close soon.
