i agree
"video of him in HOODIE signing the extention" – all you have to know about jamal murray
For Denver they are closing their title window by themselves. They did not learn anything, they are overpaid so many players in Jokic era. Starting with Milsap, who actually this years was worse than Gallinari, and was always hurt like Murray, after that some extensions for Barton, Plamli, Murray and MPJ.
You sad Murray improved in assists that is because he is ball hog, he maybe had the most ball in his hand because of that his assists number are higher – he is sometimes very selfish player, when he is playing with the bench he is not make any pass for several possessions just try to shoot (he is like Trae his bigger assists numbers are because his always has ball in his hands. He is bad off ball player he proofed in Olympics. His bad +/- without Jokic should also be flag that he is not max type of player.
I think that if you put Jokic in this up and comer teams this teams automatically became contender and in long run the most tradable contracts in Nuggets is Jokic, and maybe if Murray play like in Olympics or last play off run, or if he has again serious injury or in next 2 years he just play 100 regular season games he should ask for trade.
Nikola Jokic is 3 time MVP (not just an regular all star)..He was the best player in the world from 2021 to 2024.If you put him on average NBA team he should win championship at list 3 out of those 5 years.Yes you need team to win but for Jokic just regular team for others you need at list one or two all stars..
As for Jamal he is not worth it and you need to realize he is also not worth trading KCP and AG next year because of his contract..
Watch Skap Attack new YT video about DN..
I feel that Jokic cares a lot more about AG than about Murray, so it's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen with AG contract.
Good morning Matt and Nuggets fans how's everyone doing today? I wanted to run something by everyone what you think of maybe trying to get MONTREZL HARRELL a 6-7 240lbs with a wingspan of 7'4.25 and he's has a defense rating of 109. But he has a better rating of 98.5 only thing he is 30 years old and yes i did look up his info i just wondering what everyone thought and if it is possible? Let me know please/Montrezl-Harrell-7019/ ©DraftExpress
The problem for the Nuggets is Does Seeding Even Matter when the playoffs start? It's true only 2 teams outside the top 3 seeds have ever won titles in NBA history – but how many of those teams had a top 10 all time HOF player like Jokic? Nuggets have ZERO chance of getting a 1 seed, and possibly not even a 3 seed because there are too many good YOUNG teams in the Western Conference who have never proven anything yet and will just go flat out all season long to get the #1 seed. Nuggets aren't going to beat out the Thunder in the regular season. The Grizzlies will be back from injuries and were the #2 seed when healthy. They'll probably be a to 3-4 seed this year. The Mavs are considerably better after going to the finals last year. The Timberwolves will be going all out like they did last year. And it doesn't matter. If the Nuggets were the #6 Seed, but Jokic and the starters were all rested and ready, would any team really be favored over them in the playoffs? Maybe the Thunder or Timberwolves? But, probably not. More likely a coin flip.
OK, Matt, you tried to defend Calvin Booth but these contracts they've given out are just painful imbecility! Between Jamal ($207m), MPJ ($148m left), Naji ($36m) and Pickett and Tyson ($10.2m) the Nuggets have given out almost $400m in UNTRADEABLE guaranteed contracts! It isn't that 2nd round pick Jalen Pickett or Hunter Tyson was a bust! It's that they signed them to $5,821,677 guaranteed contracts, when those guys are 2-way players nobody else in the league wanted! They could have signed them to 2-way contracts and seen whether they had anything; then reward them with regular multi-season contracts IF they prove something. Zeke proved exactly NOTHING in his first contract. So, why on in the name of all that's unholy did they give him a 4 year $32m guaranteed contract, with a player option at the end of it?! They could have signed him to a veteran minimum! Who in the league would have given him more? NOBODY! "We wanted to reward our guys! We believe in our guys!" That's the moronic mantra of this front office! Screw their guys! Prove it and then you'll be rewarded! Show us something! Work your way into the rotation and play consistently good minutes! THEN and only then will we give you more than a minimum contract! But, that is just not how Booth operates! The Nuggets have $42m in guaranteed money tied up in 3 players who aren't even in the rotation this season!
Matt Moore is a Grizzlies Fan
Ideal would be 66 games for MVP….
Hahahaha Matt Matt… Sure who wants all stars… No!!! It's Jokić not others… But hey you can say it's not important for Jokić to plays with allstars… sure 😉🥲😉
