Dario Saric has signed to be the Nuggets backup Center. What does this mean for the upcoming season and what role will he play for this team? #denvernuggets #swipa #swipacam
Swipa with the latest breaking Nuggets news, once again! Saric is a big who can stretch the floor, shoots well and has a decent 3 point shot. So I like the potential of how he can fit in.
I like Saric. Defense is atrocious but he can play 4 and 5, a great addition for our bench! Plus, he is Nikola's friend, he will give his 150% every game, mark my words, a lot of people will be surprised with his play!
Now Holmes and Zeke don't have to play center off the bench, I was wondering what was happening because DJ isn't playing backup 5. Also Saric allows MPJ to have a cold game, and we can swap in someone with near 40% 3pt averages.
@@cramax4871 who of the forwards is near that other than MPJ? Saric is depth when MPJ has a cold series, and he'll get good looks with Jokic because he'll overlap as backup 4/5 in the playoffs.
@@cramax4871 when they have no offense at points, they'll play together. Thanks for your replies but you've brought nothing but the negative views from the Nuggets before the title and I'm done with your outlook on life. Cheers
Good signing. Hes legit 6'10" stretch 5 good passer/ shooter can play Jokic style w DHO stretches the floor which we will need assuming Russel will be w bench unit.
I like the idea of Saric being a bit of on offensive hub around Holmes, Watson, and Westbrook. Hopefully they can shore up the bench a bit more with the Zeke trade. I'm thrilled they will have some experience off the bench as well. That killed us in the playoffs.
Don’t see why nobody likes this Pickup? For 10 Mil and he’s a solid Offensive Threat compared to what we had last year lmao. Our Defensive guys like Swipa said will be Holmes, Watson. We can always get GTJ and others later. Right now we need a back up PG
We need to get Vasa Micić for Zeke Nnaji. Vasa is a 2x EuroLeague champion and 2x MVP PG from Serbia. He started his NBA career in a guard-stacked OKC where he received little opportunity. After being traded to the Hornets and with Lamelo Ball injured he started getting more playing time and was solid. This season Lamelo will be returning so they may wan't to move him for a big. Vasa has incredible court vision, incredible passer and high basketball IQ. He would be a great option to run the bench unit, but also a replacement for Jamal for pick and roll with Jokić. Similar contract so it would work.
This 2 yr 10 mil contract was a much better contract spent on Dario Saric than Reggie Jackson. It's crazy that Nuggets traded for Reggie and extended him to the same 2 yr 10 mil contract in the first place. I think GTJ is too expensive to sign. No way he just takes a veteran minimum to sign with the Nuggets unless we trade for GTJ with Zeke's contract. Not sure how that would work. Backup PG would most likely be Westbrook. Lonnie Walker and Markelle Fultz are 2 guys I think would fit on the team too. Lonnie is a downhill scorer who can put pressure at the rim. He's not a great defender though. Fultz is a combo guard that I think still has a lot of untapped potential. I would play him over Pickett any day of the week. But my next best preference after GTJ is Haywood Highsmith. He is like a younger, more athletic version of Jrue Holiday. He is an even more versatile defender than Holiday and a much needed POA defender we can use off the bench.
Great pickup/A Warriors fan here you will enjoy his play he doesn’t deserve the poor defense rating what he does ,is he doesn’t foul around the rim. In today’s NBA where if you just breathe on someone your called for a foul.
Take a look back at Saric game against Denver on the Jokic last second 3pt game winner. Saric was showcasing his passing, outside shooting and post scoring in that game.
Nema problema. No problem. We got enough bigs: MPJ, Cancar, Joker, Saric, Huff, Holmes, Tyson, DJ, and tall athletic defenders: Gordon, Watson, Braun, Hall... Creators Jokic, Murray and Saric, and shooters: Murray, MPJ, Gordon, Jokic, Strawther, Saric, Holmes... Guess Joker's good friends Vlatko and Zeke will very soon be emplolyed by the Nuggets' front office. They are accompaning Joker as intellectual and emotional comrades. Dobar drustvo. Good company. Nikola, Vlatko and Dario are officially from Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia... but can talk in one language that foreign players in the league can't understand. What a big surprise. Get that crazy Russ "Gladiator"...and lets beat them all night after night...
He's a defensive liability. I don't think he beats out Holmes for the backup role behind Jokic & AG. This guy's a depth piece who can eat a few minutes but is he really any better than Zeke? This guy can provide some scoring & passing but he's not the player he used to be.
Why the player option though? The guy was one foot in Panathinaikos for way less money, according to tabloids. Watch them attach assets next year to get rid of him
I live in PHX so I saw him play a lot. He’s a net zero to me. And will likely not do much of anything for this team. I don’t get it. We wait a week for this. Plenty of younger players just like him in the G league I’m sure
Why did we resign DeAndre? It's a wasted bench slot. At least Malone will play Saric. Ayo would ne dope but we wont get him. Russ would be fine as the backup PG though. Like Strawther and of course Pwatt. Holmes will eventually tske over for Gordon.
Our backups last year struggled because of the lack of half court offense. They were a talented defensive group, though. The only half court offense we really had off the bench was Reggie Jackson, and we lost him. We need both Westbrook and Saric off the bench to add offense.
@@R-Imperial23 Tell me ur a casual who doesn't know ball? Lol U dont even know how stupid u sound. He literally was a playmaker/scoring option with GS when he was used right.
Need to have both offense AND defense coming off the bench. It also doesn't help that we didn't have Strawther and Cancar in the playoffs. Those are guys who could have contribute offensively. Saric certainly would add offense to the 2nd unit and the bench would have more of an identity with him running DHO similar to Jokic.
For all the heat booth has been getting for not overpaying on bruce and kcp which are championship caliber players he actually mightve solved the non nikola minutes by getting dario,holmes and potentially russ as that offensive spark in the non nikola minutes.
If this was Dario Saric from 5+ years ago sure. This version of Saric is not worth minimum vet contract. He is plagued by serious injuries, he is not a player who can play 80+ games a year. He is at best euroleague player aka 30ish games. Nuggets are just going worst and worst.
Still think the NBA is rigged. If Dario is Denvers biggest signing. They have no chance of winning the Championship. Will be a repeat of last season unfortunately.
Dario isnt bad, signing him using our taxpayer mle is bad, if we could've signed him at a vet minimum like golden state did would've been great, but Calv couldn't do that
what a surprise... we got not a backup center, not a guard-creator, we got another "4". Nuggets are pathetic. And Jamal Murray is CRAP. I hope I don't hear his name ever again.
