Nikola Jokić on playing with Jamal Murray for his entire career: “I would love it. It’s so good when you know who you’re playing with. He cannot really surprise me. And I know what he can do…I don’t want to change him.”
I genuinely don’t see Jokic leaving Denver for another NBA team.
You never hear anyone stirring the pot in the media about him being unhappy with the org like they have for Giannis and Dame because I don’t think there’s any intentions of him ever leaving (thus no leaks from his camp)
Jokic camp is just him and his horses discussing at the stables
“Nikola will be very unhappy unless he gets more oats”
Denver isn’t competing with other teams in the off-season, they’re competing with horses.
Jokertariat out for Sunday’s race (rest)
We can’t see it because he wouldn’t ever discuss it in the media or allow it to be a discussion.
If it were to be something he wants, it’ll happen out of nowhere or happen very quickly and he won’t hide the way he feels.
That’s the best part about Jokic. He’s so reliable that you don’t have to really worry about his performance or salary, just of the guys who you build around him.
And that he doesn’t try to role play as GM trying to fire/hire coaches and demand trades for/of players.
I genuinely don’t see Luka playing for any team other than Mavericks.
Which would have happened if not for Nico
He’s going to have a blank check the rest of the time he’s here, which the Nuggets would be incredibly stupid not to give him whatever he wants. He’s nearly singlehandedly dragged our team to respectability since we’re pretty much the T-Wolves with a 50 year history without him
Only way I could see a problem is if Stan wants to cheap out on the team next year to avoid to luxury tax.
Pretty much 0 percent that happens
Why did Giannis let the media fuck with him every year?
“He cannot really surprise me”
Not even with a sex tape? Damn Nikola…
Wellllll that already kinda happened…
Well what if its gay sex this time?
has there been any other duo where both players spent their entire careers(and their careers overlapping) with the same team?
the only thing i can think of off the top of my head would be steph and draymond, and would’ve been steph and klay but we know how that ended up
weren’t there rumours(confirmed by draymond later) that the warriors were planning on trading him? Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded in the offseason.
possibly but i havent heard anything about that
Wasn’t it specific to a potential Giannis deal?
Assuming that a superstar doesn’t come to them there’s a very good chance that Draymond will finish with the Warriors.
Not really
by the strictest possible definition (which would exclude, eg, malone or payton): robinson/duncan/ginobili is my favourite, but there’s also west/baylor, bird/mchale, russell/five other celtics hall of famers (havlicek, heinsohn, sanders, ramsey, and jones), isiah/dumars, magic/cooper/worthy… you can even get down to reggie miller/rik smits or stockton/mark eaton. curry/green will join them, barring something dramatic. this page is a lot of fun.
Bird and McHale maybe? Bill and someone else too i bet.
Tim and Manu! Aaaah couldve been a trio with Tony, but the Hornets thing happened.
“I love him almost as much as I love my horses”
It would suck if he ever left Denver
He will never leave
“Get a room you two!”
