Straight from the horse’s mouth. Just as all things Jokic should be. Neigh.

Really?

My source said he’s going to the lakers to team up with Luka 

Fair. I like money too.

Well duh, they wouldn’t be playing if they were not making what they make

He has his ring and is a 3x MVP.

Why tf not?

Horses are expensive

Cash rules everything around me, Joker gets the money.

Yeah. Bucks fans always yelled about Shams or whoever making stuff up, but there are never rumors about Jokic because he doesn’t want there to be.

Hell even Duncan almost left. But after that it was smooth sailing for like 15 years.

Dirk was low maintenance too on both sides. Once Dirk got his chip Dallas was just like “we’ll keep sending checks until you tell us to stop”

Steph? 

Id put Tatum and Steph on that list too.

duncan did almost leave, which is wild cuz he won a ring year 2

People keep comparing him to Giannis in terms of loyalty, but Giannis couldn’t be further apart with his diva like comments and mucking the franchise around. Jokic has never uttered a word against Denver or hint at wanting to leave.

I mean, why would he? He’s the GOAT nugget, has established his family and community here, he’s actively involved in key signings and personnel changes, basically has keys to the city, plus Denver is a really nice place to live. Oh he’s also almost a top 10 player of all time so KSE doesn’t even consider blowing it up

Jokic only cares about 2 things. Money and his horses. Guy is so chill.

Marc Gasol was low maintenance too. Then they ship him out of Memphis 🥲

The next crop of superstars is looking real nice (wemby, flagg, ant, cade, lebron)

LeBron really skewed our perception of a lot of things lol i remember 31 used to be considered as near retirement in the NBA

His game will hardly be affected with age. I could see him getting that max at 37 and actually playing up to it for at least a couple of years

They already are

“the greats” you don’t have to worry about that. You’re talking about Jokic.

And also telling him that if he doesn’t sign Bron, do not under any circumstances do any more money saving moves

You know his ass would immediately dump salary to save cash in his pocket if jokic signed the extension and was locked up

If i could make an additional 70 million i would do it

If you’re one of the best in the history of the world at doing a thing, it’s fine to want to be paid like one of the best in the history of the world at doing said thing

Idk why he’s still wasting his time in Denver they’re never gonna be able to beat OKC or San Antionio in the future or even Minnesota

I wouldn’t speak too soon. When Brunson is up for extension, I don’t think he’s leaving money on the table this time. The Knicks, like the Nuggets, are going to have to have some discussions about long term super/max deals in the near future.

Aren’t they both doing the same thing? Aiming for that 5 year deal that takes them to 37 since the over-38 rule prevents contracts longer than 3 years.

In Brunson’s case the deal he signed was the only way to hit 10 years NBA experience for the 35% supermax and have it end before he turns 38. The exact numbers will vary depending on how the salary cap rises but he should come out ahead in terms of salary overall (assuming the Knicks give it to him obviously)

I mean if he can secure a max contract till 37 I think he just plays till then lol.

Luke warm take but I think jokic not caring to play basketball is way overblown and to me it’s clear he’s a competitor with a love for the game. You don’t become that altruistic of a teammate without dissecting the game down from pure passion

I have a feeling a fully guaranteed $350m might convince him to put that off another 5 years.

Bro legit doesn’t wanna be here

doesnt seem like he cares that much anyway, happy enough to dip early enough and spend more time with his horses in the summer

He’s an extremely competitive athlete, not a couch sports watcher, he doesn’t think like you
