Jokic: “I’m gonna sign next year”
Jokic confirms his plans to stay in Denver by signing next offseason, as he has every offseason he is asked about it
Thing known for two years is confirmed yet again. Not a single team believes otherwise, nobody is creating cap to sign. It’s just twitter users and the ringer being bored
yep lol
No, Lakers fans still believe they’re getting Jokic
After that Luka bull shit I don’t blame them
I don’t expect Nico Harrison to get another job anytime soon though
LOL
So do Celtics fans
Jokic won’t even fit on the lakers thank you for Kessler he’s a much better fit with Luka.
And thank you for control of almost your entire near-term future. Tbh I think we both got something that we wanted, I hope you enjoy Kessler. He’s a great player
It’s 2 shitty first round picks those swaps won’t even matter since most likely lakers will be better than the jazz. So you will get two first round picks in the mid to late 20s for Kessler.
Rent free. Must be mad lakers took your center
Supposedly the Celtics moves were to go after Jokic next year. I think they were just bad moves and their media/fans were looking for an excuse. Jokic isn’t going to take less money/years and he can only get that contract in Denver
No they weren’t
Jokic isn’t the only guy though. Anthony Edward’s may be open to a move. Maybe Bam if the Heat completely fall apart. And beyond that, Jokic will sign but that doesn’t make it any more likely that he finishes the contract in Denver.
lol wut
So this means he’s a Laker right?
/s
ESPN’s next headline 😭
“Nikola Jokic declines to sign extension this season. Lakers showing interest”
Unironically they would 100 percent interpret it this way for clicks
No chance in hell he’ll want to play under those spotlights. He just wants to cash in as much as he can and get the hell out of nba and US.
He’ll become a Laker when he’s 40 after 2 ACL surgeries, but we’ll still give him a max contract and player option. It’s the Laker way.
If not him then maybe KAT?!
Why not both? We need a power forward after all. We’ll even toss in the pick swap alongside Dalton and a second. Fair value right?
Leon Rose will have to look at the Jalen Duran for KAT offer that’s on the table, first. Just weighing all our options.
I’m sure Windy will say soon that “Him not signing now could open up a chance for the warriors” rinse and repeat shit man💀
sources say jokic is “gonna sign next year”, here are 5 possible destinations for nikola jokic in the 2027-2028 season
And people will eat that up as a fact because they’re stupid.
Sorry Jokic I was told we’re trading George’s expiring plus one big PP for you
is the extension larger if he signs next year?
Yes
If he signed now it would be 4 year 278 million.
Waiting would turn the offer into a potential 5 year 360 million contract instead.
NBA money is so crazy man lol. A 360 mil contract is absolutely wild.
In fairness, Joker is one of the few players who deserves it.
ye
He already came out and said multiple times this offseason that he wants to end his career here. And he already said he’s going to sign it next year because of the money/years he can get.
It’s always just delusional Lakers fans
Why listen to the words that come out of the player’s mouth when you can listen to an ESPN talking head who knows someone who knows someone who said Jokic is open to the idea of not signing?
Delusional lakers fans of course. But also clickbait reporters who will use lakers for clicks and make and up anything. And the cycle keeps going
Or just people who think the ‘best player in the world’ should want to play competitive basketball.
Denver is fucked and they have no more moves. If he signs this extension he’ll go down as one of the biggest what ifs and the nuggets reputation will be even more shit
I can see why you hide your comments now.
So where’s the lie?
Also do you actually stalk Redditors and brag about it? What a cool guy!
Trash ahh takes shouldn’t be on this sub tbh
Name a single real Lakers fan that believes this (posting about it as a joke does not count)
It appears that Laker fans are also delusional enough to think everybody here knows them by name
nice 😀
Alright who is next on the “Star player who hasn’t signed an extension yet that we can get a media cycle out of speculation with” carousel
There goes his legacy. The incompetent fucks on the Nuggets will fail again to build a title team around him.
Celtic
Sign next year…… to another team!
“He gone”
“You’re a [insert team name] now, Jokic!”.
I believe Jokic will stay in Denver but this reminds me of the time Kyrie went on the court and announced he was resigning with the Celtics and then he signed with the Nets lmao
Jokic has been saying this for years man
I’d bet it’s more likely he rides out into an early retirement than switching teams
We’re lucky he just happens to have one of the most expensive hobbies in existence.
Comparing Jokic and Kyrie is crazy.
When the hell did I compare them as players? I said this reminded me of something else
You don’t have a source, while making a statement. Your post will get removed FYI.
For the Washington Wizards
BREAKING: Jokic plans to accept 360 million as long as he doesn’t have to greet fans
Kuminga for Jokic and 1st. Jokic-Draymond-Yaxel-Curry
Kuminga plays for Minnesota now lol
[deleted]
sliver will force him to the lakers just like with luka
Thankfully Denver is finished contending, so no problem with Jokic playing out his final years there.
Really a shame that Jokic will never be on a great team. I get it from his perspective bc he just wants to get paid and live his life, but for the fans sake I hope they figure something out or trade him(ik they won’t trade him). Maybe some good free agents will want to play w him? Idk
sign WHERE 👀
Jokic is going to be a Nuggets player 4life.
We’ll see about that.
Doesn’t wanna win more rings ig
Rings dont mean much to most players, its nice but look at every player whos willing to take the bigger bag than win another ring
