Jokic is a nice guy but he's gonna leave Nuggets

[90sgoat]

Nuggets have been doing him like AD.

Absolutely trash team around him.

[NuggetsFan]

Nah. No ego. He already signed a max contract and zero % he asks for a trade.

Nuggets were the youngest team in the playoffs. 4th in the league. Jokic just elevated them. They'll be back next year stronger than they were this season.

[Bobcats2013]

nah. jokic dont seem like the type to have that star ego he aint leaving

[imdaman99]

Nah he doesn't seem a punk like Porzingis. Try again loser

You have to admit this core won't get it done.

Murray is ok, but outside that it's trash town. Millsap is an embarassement, particularly that contract.

Who else can you even mention on that team? They're all replaceable.

Maybe ala Garnett, but not in his prime.

[bobopenguin]

no2 team in the west...he isnt going anywhere.

[LeCola]

I think they need some shooters like Redick, Korver, Seth Curry, Ilyasova etc... Sometimes they are choking as a team like the first half of the 4th quarter of this gamd. They can't score well when opponent protects paint well.

[Sakkreth]

Team is still very young with great management. They will be good for a long time. It's not ****en Pelicans.

Get it gone? Yeah they won't win rings. Unless they signed a big time FA/get a big star in trade, or MPJ/Murray both hit there ceilings.

Most stars/teams don't. I think Denver will be in the 2nd round/flirt with the WCF for the next forseeable future. They didn't peak as the youngest team in the playoffs.

Gary Harris is a great player and so is Malik Beasley, they need more touches, especially Harris.

He could certainly use a FMVP shooting guard and a top 3 power forward yes.

[red1]

he had a good series who cares stop being such a salty racist bitch OP

[tontoz]

Denver was the 2nd seed in the west, one game away from the conference finals, with the youngest team in the playoffs. Their 1st round pick from last season didn't even play.

Keep in mind that they can let Milsap walk this summer. They have a team option on him for next season which they should probably decline.

I don't get the comparison with the Pels, who've qualified for the playoffs only twice in AD's 7 seasons.

They lost to a very pedestrian Portland team with their best big being sidelined due to a freak injury...Jokic's competition was Mr "I refuse to play any D" Cunter and a scared toothpick Collins - not really the world beaters, now are they:lol He is a good player, but he also takes tons of shots and is kinda soft in a low post with his lack of athleticism and overweight body...a guy is just as much to blame as his supposedly trash teammates are

Kblaze, DrayNKlay shouldn't be posting on his alt so soon, get his ass. OUT! OUT!

The Nuggets have been managed better than almost any team in the league. They have a cadre of solid young talent that shows up and plays hard.

Have a look at their drafting since 2011

Faried at 22
Fournier at 20
Gobert at 27 (traded right away)

In 2015, they were involved in the following players

Saric
Nurkic
Gary Harris
Jokic at 41

Mudiay was a flop the next year. Jamal Murray and Hernangomez after that. Donovan Mitchell after that, turns out they drafted Utah's whole future originally. And Michael Porter is supposedly a stud but yet to see any minutes.

I loved the Millsap contract. When your team is young, you can afford to throw big money on short deals, especially for character guys. Millsap's contract is over, he won't be renewed, and he might even resign at a lower cost to keep playing with this team.

Jokic isn't going anywhere. This is a top five operation in the league right now and I guarantee you all that young talent won't be staying put for long. They can assemble a package of tough young wings (Harris, Craig, Beasley, Morris, Barton on a good contract, maybe even Murray) and get back a backcourt superstar. I hope they do. I like Murray but it's disappointing how often he misses Jokic rolling open in the middle of the paint where he's better than almost anyone. Might be a case of daddy's overtraining there.

Anyone else feel like no one in the league competes as hard as the Nuggets? They made every game they played really fun to watch.

Jokic averaged 25/13/9 in the playoffs with a TS of 61%. In the last two games, both losses, Jokic averaged 29/12.5 shooting 51% from the field, 44% from 3.

I think i can safely say Milsap (13.5/6.5 on 25% shooting the last two games) is more to blame for the last two losses.

Jokic scored 16 in the 2nd half. Your definition of "shut down" must be different from mine.
