Nikola Jokic determined this offseason to not signal a three-year, $212 million contact extension with the Denver Nuggets, which was his anticipated choice 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 isn’t a underlying pressure on him presumably wanting out.
“No person in Denver batted an eye fixed that I heard, privately or publicly, when Jokic mentioned, ‘ what? It does 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 means of teaching modifications on the final minute, by means of roster turmoil, by means of dropping core guys due to tax points and no matter, by means of Calvin Sales space getting fired on the finish of the season, by means of all that. There has by no means been a whisper of like this man needs to go to a special workforce.
“There’s the joke whispers about might he simply retire and return to Sombor and be a horse man, like no matter, perhaps. There’s by no means been a whisper, and so we skirted previous it.
“However you simply should flag it that if we get to subsequent summer season, it then turns into slightly 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 is no panic about it. I have not heard any panic about it. I have not 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 attainable, 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.Â
