A big reason is because they have two other max contract players & can’t afford one. MPJ is paid like an all star, even though he obviously doesn’t play like one and is far too inconsistent. He essentially is a big reason they can’t get an all star. And any time one of us call for him to get traded we get shouted down by the MPJ stans.
The storyline out in yahoo-land is that the Nuggets aren't willing to go all-in for another championship during the Jokic era. Most are watching Oklahoma get a LOT better, while Denver has only gotten worse.
@@anthonyb6842 It's not a valid comparison because OKC is coasting off major rookie contracts and therefore can do whatever they want in the open market. Also their MVP candidate is only making 35 mil.
It's not about loosing KCP, it's about loosing KCP when you literarily have 2 of the 10 worst contracts in the league...show me one team, one team in the league, that's paying max to Murray or MPJ??? or is willing to trade for them...0...we can't afford to loose good players when you have dead weight you need others to carry. It's like this, we are hiking and Jokic is carrying 3 bags, which is fine, he's big dude, BUT if you give him one more bag to carry, we won't get far
They wont even care. Some fans just cant see what you see. Quite sad and thisjust prove that calvin booth just doesnt care about jokic prime. I will support jokic and AG but this denver nuggets is toast this season.
Take Jokic, Giannis, Tatum, Doncic, Embiid, Edwards off their teams and compare them. You will see how "well" Nuggets are doing in building a team to win a title. All those teams even without their best player make playoffs, some of them as high seed. Are we sure that Nuggets without Jokic make playoffs. I'm almost sure that they don't.
How was Cam Payne not picked?😆 Can’t stand that dude. I like the James Harden Trae Young picks as those are my 2 least favorite future HOFers. Embiid up there too. Essentially annoying foul baiters whose overall numbers plummet in playoffs compared to regular season. Kuzma is not a 3 & D player Wind. He’s 33% from 3 since 2018-19, 28% from 3 in 27 playoff games. He’s also not a good defender. LeBron Jokic Murray AG MPJ with 3P shooting & defense around them would be the best team of all time!
At this point I’m rooting for Jokic to leave Denver… run my guy, run while ur still healthy and in good years. Judging by this post season he’s just going to be a team mule for another year.
Westbrook would be a LOT more useful to Jokic than Murray. He'd replace Murray as a starter for me. He brings EXACTLY what the Nuggets are nissing. I can just imagine what Jokic can do with him and Gordon, it'd be really hard defending against that team.
Westbrook’s love of play reminds me of Dennis Rodman. Not the style, but the energy behind the play. He can be a bit wild, not always together, but gives crazy effort and is a demon for retrieving rebounds and bursting to the rim. Could be an interesting match with Jokic.
Yeah they lost to minny by 25 and 45 without rob and shannon although no kyle hurts minny...but ant will be better...dallas is a hair better...okc way better grizz will be better same for pelicans and rockets too kings might be better...
If you really think that then you will be in for a surprise 😂. The nuggets are still the team to beat even without kcp. We will miss him but I'm sure gordon and porter will pick up the slack.
His team is falling apart,Natalija is pregnant,and no time for rest becuse of Olympic. Can we bet on the number of technicals during the season? it will definitely go over 😂😂😂
Braun not a 82 game 4 round playoff defender like kcp...when bigger guys see braun he getting cooked cough like luka...and sgs pgs that get hot will kill him and murray....this a disaster
so who do we have guarding Conley/Edwards or Kyrie/Luka? Murray and Braun? 🥴 I think we need to bring in Westbrook or Pat Bev for defensive purposes more than we need to replace KCPs shooting
When they play braun holmes or watson and mpj gordon and let us say murray together the offense is going to suck...when they play watson murray jokic porter and braun the defense is going to get cooked
Too emotional with KCP because he was part of franchises first championship. He’s getting way overrated right now. He was always the weak link of the starting unit. Braun will fine. Bigger issue with this team is the bench. Getting Westbrook will be like getting a superstar. His impact will be that big.
and you guys would not tell who those two players are? but did talk about paul george, klay thompson..... danver front office did not even pay tim connely to keep him, yet alone getting some help to one of the best offensive players in the history of basketball with at least a potential allstar calliber player... because the numbers '2 and 3' in this team are nowhere close to being allstars and they still get max contracts ....there's your problems! Jokic can not do it alone! he got gassed in gm7, why? no backup centre for years!!!
That 2 man game has been exposed man lol we can’t just say we can depend on 2 people lol what kinda mindset is that for a winning TEAM. SMH that’s crazy. Murray and Jokic cooked LA while everyone stood around n that’s why when we faced the wolves, no one Could do anything cus we depend on 2 people lol not smart
Its sad 😂 im the biggest nuggest fan but yall are way too emotional on losing one player. They thought that with the cheifs when they lost key players and they just won another championship. If Jokic is the best then we will be fine.
The nuggets are so flawed...no bench rellying on a rookie post 20th later pick to play maybe 2 of them and 1 to score like 9 a night no guard depth braun at starting sg is a problem no backup center gordon can't shoot murray gets hurt misses games porter can't dribble is a meh defender not a playmaker jokic not getting younger is limited defense wise...
Also it's one thing having a vision.. But what this GM is doing is loosing veteran good players not to play his rookies, he just brings in mediocre and bad veteran players on the cheap and overpays them if he can so he's locked in out of other trades. This is daylight robbery
When gordon is off the floor whose defending on this team...when jokic sits the offense is going to suck....when murray misses time they will lose next year
We know how good Jokic is that's why the fans are so down...another year of him carrying a terrible to to eventually loose at some point, because he's put in a spot that MJ can't overcome. That's the problem, if this was a good team or mediocre team or bad team without Jokic, the vibes would be very different. Maybe it would be good to get rid of KCP, let's see what the young guys can do, let's see what we can do in the margins...having Jokic is the reason why everybody is panicing...BECAUSE WE ARE WASTIN GOD GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
It's as if you guys are experiencing PTSD from the early exit from the playoffs for the Nuggs. Strauther, Peyton, Braun, the Dayton flyer, are going to collectively do what KCP did. The issue is back up point or a starting point to let Jamal be the 2. Westbrook is loved by players, he could fit in very well.
If the nuggets 2 guys are still in free agency, why even mention that we have to wait for the clippers to sign n trade Westbrook? If that’s the case we shouldn’t be waiting on Russ and we should be goin after those 2 free agents but we are in fact sittin on our hands
Nuggets need to trade Zeke Ninaji for Vasa Micić. We drafted DeRon Holmes II who is an upgraded replacement for Zeke. Vasa is an excellent choice for a backup PG running the bench unit and Jokić has expressed interest he want's to play with him. They will be playing together for team Serbia in the Olympics this year.
So who are the 2 guys the nuggets want that aren’t Russel Westbrook? Lol what other backup pg is better than him in free agency? Or is point guard not an issue lol
I think John Wall would be worth a minimum, or at least a 10-day to start the season. Low risk with potential high reward. Depends how he'd look on defense
Bro we’re so used to dominance anything other than that we feel like we suck 😭… but in reality we’re maybe like 3rd now but def no lower than that once we adjust to the new squad and get some help.
@@aaporter1028 listen man... Denver have best 10 15 20 player ever!!!! U don't ACT like Denver this and last year when u have Jokić!!! U must do f everything to give him to win... We sow last year Denver can't win like that and u still don't do a ish to be better. So no it's a joke of a jobe period
