    What are your thoughts about Joker coming here next summer? Should we tank one more year for a good draft pick to maximize talent to impress him or should we really try showing growth to complete for a playoff spot so he would be more intrigued to come over. We will have salary cap room to sign him to the max and maybe one other big free agent. If the Lakers are our competition we should have a much better talent pool then them a year from now.

    Jokic rejects the Nuggets' 5-year, 270 million contract extension!Meet James with the Lakers in 2023
    2022-05-24 22:16 HKT
    Jokic's contract expires in the summer of 2023. This summer, the Nuggets are expected to give Jokic a 5-year, 270 million maximum contract, but Jokic's agent Laznatovic said that Jokic does not Will re-sign with the Nuggets and expect to be a free agent in the summer of 2023.

    Jokic is reluctant to renew his contract with the Nuggets in advance, except that Denver is a small city team, and more importantly, Murray, the team's second and third leader, and Porter are all sick. Porter signed a five-year, 172 million contract last year. There is a trend of water loss after the maximum salary, which will also become a heavy burden for the Nuggets. If Jokic stays in the Nuggets, it means that he may miss the championship in his life. Jokic may win the regular season MVP this season. Hope to achieve more.

    At present, the most ideal team for the league to accept him is the Lakers. The Lakers only have contracts for Davis and Tucker in 23 years. The Lakers have 80 million space enough to sign Keech naked.

    There are also the Lakers' golden brand and the status of a big city. More importantly, the Lakers also have the golden brand of James. They are not afraid that there will be no stars like Jokic who will join the game. Therefore, the Lakers believe that they will make a big difference in 23 years. This is also The Lakers are reluctant to post the reason for the draft pick to trade Westbrook this summer. The Lakers hope to keep good chips so that they can play a big game in 23 years. The Lakers' goal is Jokic.

    inf.news? I advise everyone: DON'T CLICK THAT LINK

    On a related note, I heard from sauces that Jokic, pre-diet, was a big fan of Tildo's greasy foods. So we might get him, but it would be fat Jokic and not MVP Jokic.

    This translation is comedic gold IMO. A few tidbits I especially enjoyed.

    There's a sick world where I believe we COULD get Joker and Kyrie....becoming a contender for awhile. As tempting as it might be for SOME...

    We need to keep on rebuilding...long term.

    In this unlikely hypothetical, just put yourself in his shoes. He can get good money from several teams, why would he come to a team who's worse competitively while in his prime.

    He's either re-sign with Denver or join title contender. He's not coming here.

    His thread starting history is rough. Did a "Trade for Dwight" thread and a "Trade for Kobe" thread, both of which were locked. I suspect this one will be locked too.

    Amiracle7 posted! He is an insider! There must be some connection.
    We will see how rockets stack up this year and hopefully can be a destination potential for Jokic or other top free agents.
