Nikola Jokic determined this offseason to not signal a three-year, $212 million contact extension with the Denver Nuggets, which was his anticipated determination and has led to zero credible reporting that he might think about leaving the franchise sooner or later. Sources round Jokic and the Nuggets have indicated that there is no such thing as a underlying stress on him probably wanting out.
“No person in Denver batted a watch that I heard, privately or publicly, when Jokic mentioned, ‘ what? It would not make sense for me financially to do it this summer season. Let’s revisit it subsequent summer season,'” mentioned Lowe.
“There’s by no means even been a whisper by way of teaching modifications on the final minute, by way of roster turmoil, by way of shedding core guys due to tax points and no matter, by way of Calvin Sales space getting fired on the finish of the season, by way of all that. There has by no means been a whisper of like this man desires to go to a special group.
“There’s the joke whispers about might he simply retire and return to Sombor and be a horse man, like no matter, possibly. There’s by no means been a whisper, and so we skirted previous it.
“However you simply need to flag it that if we get to subsequent summer season, it then turns into a bit of little bit of a difficulty. However all of the followers of groups whose guys are consistently in commerce rumors, just like the [Milwaukee] Bucks, are justifiably like, ‘Why do not you ever point out [Jokic]? Why is there no panic about that?’ And it is as a result of there’s no panic about it. I have never heard any panic about it. I have never heard something from his company indicating that he is upset about X, Y, and Z and would ask for a commerce. Who is aware of what’s doable, however that is all I heard.”
Jokic is believed to be happy with the offseason maneuvers of the Nuggets as they added Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown Jr., Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jonas Valanciunas.
