Nikola Jokic turns 30 in February. If Joker wasn’t Joker, he’d be calling up Damian Lillard for notes on the first draft of a “trade-me” statement.
Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets reacts while playing the Houston Rockets in the fourth quarter at Ball Arena on December 08, 2023 in Denver. The Joker deserves a better hand than this. Of course, he’ll elevate Christian Braun, the way he elevates everyone in his orbit.“When we talk about Nikola, the MVP of the league, I’m the steward … of his peak years. You want to optimize those and take advantage of those.
And while it’s OK to grumble about how the enforced parity of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement is dynasty-proofing the Nuggets, it’s also past time for Booth andThe CBA didn’t make the Nuggets extend guaranteed contracts to second-rounders Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson, who as of Monday afternoon are averaging 13.0 points per game in the NBA Summer League — over a combined 61.6 minutes per tilt.
Booth might’ve cut off a few fingers in order to try and save some face. Because those second-rounders, hypothetically, might’ve helped sweeten a deal that could get two of the Nuggets’ other contract overpays — Nnaji, for sure, and maybe even Michael Porter Jr. — off the books. And they’re gone.For Nuggets faithful, summers are only going to get scarier. Every time Jokic goes home to Serbia, it’s going to be harder and harder for him not to want to stay there.
The Steward’s got some work to do. The West won’t rest. And parting the Red Sea is no longer a one-man job.
