That should be enough for pretty much 99.9% of NBA teams.
How do you waste the prime of an NBA great like this?
Nikola Jokic is legitimately the easiest superstar on the planet to build around.
If I were a Nuggets fan, this would have me beyond insane.
The good news is Jokic has the perfect solution to this current problem.
How do you change the direction of your franchise and ensure things don’t truly spiral out of control?
If you want real change, hit people where it hurts.
You start impacting someone’s money, watch how quickly they change course.
Unfortunately there’s probably some CBA rules that prevent it, but that’s bullshit.
On some level, it has to kill Jokic inside to even make a joke like that.
I guess it just depends on what Jokic wants.
That would be wild.
But what if he eventually does hit the market?
Maybe not demand a trade, but not extend?
Listen, the NBA season is long as hell.
There are ups and downs that teams go through all the time.
Not everyone is a wire to wire wagon.
Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom before you flip the switch and go on a massive run.
That feels impossible, yet at the moment it’s their reality.
Because right now, the entire franchise from top to bottom is letting him down.
