Anytime you have a player in MVP contention there is a TON of animus against them and the team. Like many Embiid, Giannis, and Shai super fans hate Jokic cause he was a rival in a mvp race. I think especially so for Giannis fans as they are at a similar place in all time rankings. That’s why on many of the Jokic hate posts you see a bunch of bucks/greek fans.

I doubt it.

Last year was best case scenarios from the two best players for the regular season.

Murray has been shrinking in the postseason so bad teams can just clamp Jokic and the rest of the supporting cast is non-existent.

The defense is just bad. Theres really no easy fixes there. It is just plain bad. The roster needed flexibility and the ability to add/rotate talent around Jokic to have a real chance and they have absolutely none. They are locked in to this roster both in terms of contracts and available assets. It’s a really bleak situation.

I hope I’m wrong but this isn’t a team built to win or with any flexibility to fix itself.

Okay fair but also saying it’s the biggest wasting of a star is just a massive exaggeration.

NBA history is full of this happening over and over again when a championship window ends.

EmphasisOk8298

The exact same thing just happened to Giannis. The Cavs wasted the first 7 years of LeBron. The wolves wasted 11 years of KG.

I’m a big fan of Jokic but it’s probably worth noting last year that the reason they didn’t make it out of the first round was because he was absolute dogshit. The year before the team was good enough to take OKC to 7 with an injured Gordon.

Year before that the west was wide open for them and they choked hard to the Wolves.

Now it looks like they are at the end of the line because Gordon is cooked.

Two, I’ve been saying and I’m not gonna stop now: We’re on Joker watch next offseason. I know his “aww shucks” gimmick, but no damn player that good just became that good without REALLY caring about the game. So, why would he want to waste the rest of his prime not competing? The trade wasn’t even a lateral move or something. They just gave a player away.

Unless they plan on trading Jokic, this 2031 pick is obviously a trade piece to acquire some help for him down the line. They couldn’t afford to keep Watson and already got burned extending Braun so at least he doesn’t leave for nothing.

I do agree that they’ve done a terrible job managing this roster since 2023 and their championship window is closed but this move does make some sense

We will see how the Nuggets do as far as the rest of the roster by the deadline. I’m pretty sure Demar isn’t the answer.

The Jazz don’t have anyone near comparable, ofc, but they had the pieces to go for it now, instead of trading their best big for 5 and 7 years later

Terrible asset management by the nuggets which has been a reoccurring theme the past 5 years

I would love to see Jokic play somewhere else. Watching the nuggets flail around doing…. Whatever they’ve been doing for the last few seasons is just old at this point. Trade him for a boatload of picks so you at least have a future again and let this guy have a chance at another one

He sells tickets. Very small chance they draft anyone who will even be a fraction of the player he is.

Dumbest post I’ve seen all day.

How does a 2027 pick help Jokic?

When you need to “win now” picks are there to help you acquire the players you need. They’re not there to be used.

As a Joker fan, it’s been hard to watch what the Nuggets have built around him in his career.

Not too familiar with denvers cap situation. Are they moving him to extend other people or what?

There should be a basic intelligence to post here…..these are ASSETS that can be traded anytime to anyone…and most assuredly will to improve the team around Nikola

Or they could use the pick as a trade asset….

Wonder who they could get for it. Peyton Watson in Cleveland would be a great fit I reckon.

Probably this is exactly what they want. A 1st round cav pick when your star player gone (or its near the end) its not a bad idea thinking in the future. Or they can just trade it if they want think in the present.

He’s likely gone in 2 years at the latest. Takes his 130 million for the next 2 seasons and walks into a max on the team of his choosing, or gets traded this season.

Nikola Jokic will be 36 years old when the Nuggets can use the Cavs’ 2031 first round pick they acquired for Peyton Watson
