What do you wanna see Denver do this offseason?
I would sign Dennis smith jr, great defense, cheap, experienced. Don’t need Kyle Lowry when we have jokic or Reggie.
@@_generation_youth_x28 You don’t get a very good shooter that way but he is very talented in other areas so I really don’t hate it.
Bring back Plumlee on a vet min. If Bruce Brown's team option is not picked up, bring him back. We would be set with just those two guys.
@@whiteyobanion1104 How ya affording Bruce?
@@_AVC_ Lose KCP, trade Zeke, don't pick up Vlatko's team option.
Respectfully, as a Nuggets fan, I heavily disagree with a lot of the moves that you make in this video. The Nuggets need have a surplus of wings on the bench that are slanted to the defensive side of the ball. They need a backup pg and center. trading for Jared Vanderbilt (who was drafted by the nuggets and traded in his second year, all with Michael Malone coaching the team.) Trading for a player who is injury prone, and does exactly what Peyton Watson already does at a younger age, would be really dumb IMO. You also underrated what KCPs market will be. The Nuggets will have to pay over 20m a year for 3+ years to keep them (which they should.) I don't think drafting Furphy makes sense at all either. They need someone who can handle the ball off the bench so that Murray can be freed up off the ball in that unit like he was last year with Bruce Brown. I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about the players in the draft, but there are clear positions they need and do not need.
They NEED to address backup pg and backup center. one of these should be addressed with the 28th pick, the other could be had in a trade. As long as they make a trade before they extend KCP, they can aggregate salaries in a trade, as KCPs new contract will push them into the second apron which means you can't aggregate salaries. There are multiple players I think they could target to make an immediate impact that have the salary number around 14 million, which is the combined salary of Reggie Jackson and Zeke Nnaji. My person dream scenario there would be Tyus Jones, but I don't know if the wizards would want to do that. Whichever position they address at 28, also needs a vet minimum signing as a contingency plan. You gave them Plumlee, I think thats a perfectly fine choice. I would personally want Gaga Bitadze assuming Orlando lets him walk given their depth at C with Mo Wagner and WCJ. I understand its hard to know this much about every team so I don't fault you, but I would personally hate this for the Nuggets. going into the season with Reggie Jackson as the backup point guard again would be a disaster.
Okay a lot there so I’ll try to ask some clarification questions primarily. Love the detail by the way!
My question mostly revolves around trade value for guys. I totally understand wanting to package Reggie and Zeke but those aren’t exactly valuable contracts. That’s why we traded a bad contract for a bad contract. Do you think Zeke is more valuable than I’m giving him credit for?
I have other questions but I’ll leave ya this in case you do wanna talk more haha. My discord link is below if you ever wanna talk through your ideas! Love hearing people out in real time with this stuff.

@@_AVC_ i should have clarified in my original post, in these trades the nuggets are giving up draft picks plus reggie/zeke and maybe a young guy if the other team likes one of tyson/pickett/strawther. The Nuggets can move their 2031 first or this year’s first (28th) if they do it on draft night. They have an all time great in his prime, they can’t not be aggressive even at making these moves on the margins
@@jmoneysteck9725 Well yeah I figured the picks were involved haha. So my thoughts on that. The first is I agree you should try to be relatively aggressive this offseason, and the good news is they are really really close already. Those 1st round picks are nice because they give you a cheap way to fill your back half of the roster and an opportunity to grow your own talent. I can understand wanting to move them but you better be getting something good.
I’m not sure I see the value of the package that much either. 2 presumably late first round picks, an expiring contract, and a bad contract. I don’t know how much that gets you. I could be wrong but that doesn’t sound too enticing.
Regardless I’m not here to kill everyone’s thoughts haha. Who are you hoping to get for that package? I think that gets you like $13 million or something.
Great vid bro
Great comment bro
Haha thank you I do appreciate it!
I think this plan was solid and realistic for what I can see them doing. My only critique is the Furphy draft pick, I think Denver should go after someone who can contribute right away and Furphy can't at this stage. I would have rather gone Da Silva or if they are looking for a sharpshooter I think Baylor Scheierman from Crieghton is an underrated prospect with experience who could crack the rotation as a rookie. Otherwise, great video!
Low key yeah Baylor might be a better pick. I can support that. Thanks for the love!
The Nuggets need to replace the backup PG they lost when Bruce Brown left. They really needed his scoring bonus as Jamal Murray was hurt much of the year and Reggie Jackson is simply not playable in the playoffs (he didn't score at all in the last 3 games of the Wolves series). To get a good backup point guard who can give them 15ppg in the playoffs and be the 6th man they need, along with a viable backup for Aaron Gordon, and Nicola Jokic so their starters aren't gassed in the 2nd round of the playoffs (as Malone said they were) they may have to move off MPJ's $35m contract and get some viable role players they way Naz Reed and Walker are for the Wolves. They could decide to just wait the development of Peyton Watson and Christian Braun along with Pickett and Hunter Tyson (whom they like a lot and probably won't trade). I wouldn't sit pat, but they might do so.
What did you think of the moves made in the vid?
Maybe nuggets draft edey 👀?
@@taxationistheft7 Maybe he slips a little bit and then yeah I think that could be a nice grab!
I’m so curious about Tyson because his summer league was so good but he didn’t play at all in the season. I don’t see how they value him especially with Vlatko coming back
@@AnthonyJones-ge1mb Yeah I don’t know, there is so much you can do with the back of this roster. I’ll be curious to see what happens!
People have to chill out on trading MPJ fr fr.
100% 😂 Some of the stuff I’ve seen is just wild.
if he scored at least 16 points Denver would have won against MIN in Game 7 and for him to be worth 30 mil per season, is that worth it?
@@ajcornstar I mean if we are gonna pick out singular games we can say a lot of things about a lot of guys lol.
@@ajcornstarAnd Jamal Murray was going 7/20 in other games. Not only that but he was getting absolutely locked up against the Timberwolves! But does that mean we're gonna trade the guy? Hell no! And the same goes for Mpj, because he was the whole reason we won that series against the Lakers in the 1st round...(Although I do know Jamal was mostly hurt during this years playoffs my point still stands.)
I didn't quite understand, does the MPJ have to "leave" Denver, I'm interested in that? Gordon? I know that Jokić and Marey are staying 100%, in fact, I'm interested in whether because of those agencies and the rules regarding contracts, it's a little different here, whether MPJ has to leave Denver, whether Denver can keep the first five, or whether they let KSP , and instead of him, bring back Braun, Bruce Braun who "wanders" from team to team and won't be expensive (I hope), but that's another story, the essence of the question is whether the Nuggets can preserve the "skeleton" of the team, can it be without KSP, here to find, in addition to the others you mentioned - Jokić, Marey, Gordon and MPJ, is "those four in danger"?
Pozdrav iz Smedera, Srbija.
I’m going to assume English isn’t your first language haha. Well in the video we kept the starting 5 as is and just found some little ways to improve the bench. So you do not have to lose anyone that starts if that answers your question!
Really enjoyed watching this, i don't think the lakers would move Vanderbilt but i think your other moves could be possible...
What would your opinion be on the nuggets bringing in Dwight Howard as a vet minimum(legal troubles notwithstanding)?
Haha glad you liked it! I wont speak on the legal stuff obviously cuz I just don’t know but as far as his presumed skillset it makes sense. I would just need to see him in a workout. Or if he puts the powerweb sleeves on i’ll sign him on the spot haha!
I wanted to touch on the Vanderbilt thing though because I’m curious why you think that? He doesn’t really play and he’s scheduled to make quite a bit of money for a while.
@@_AVC_I just think he is young and they are quite high on him before he got injured, I agree with you though Malone would love him and he would fit on the Nuggets very well...
I think Olynk or Schroeder would do very well if they could move Zeke N and a couple of seconds rounders for them
@@johnnykeane9633 I don’t disagree that both those guys fit. I like those two for sure. I just don’t think you can offer enough for em. Toronto just traded a 1st for Kelly and I don’t think the Nets want a bad contract and seconds for a very good NBA player. Again though I love the ideas!
@@_AVC_ yes it's very hard to trade Zeke unfortunately you have to get a bad contract back as you said in your video. I am actually looking forward to your Lakers off-season video I am very curious about what they will do... Great channel btw I subbed 🙏🏻
@@johnnykeane9633 Ayye I appreciate it! Funny enough I did so a Lakers vid already 😅. My first go around of this though taught me I need to wait until much later to make them haha. Might do an updated one!
KCP will be offered at least $20m+ for the next 3 by another team. I doubt he stays.
Who do we think offers that?
@@_AVC_ a team like philly could do it, they need a defensive sniper.
@@nicholaslocke1611 Interesting. Yeah I don’t think many teams could afford to take him away but they are one of the few that could.
@@_AVC_ I think the market for him will be very hot, he is a top 10 free agent this off-season. No way we get him back on discount.
@@nicholaslocke1611 I just try to think about it in terms of who can realistically offer him/need him. Like every contender (not named the sixers) doesn’t have $20 mil, let alone $15 million to offer. So we look at the middle tier teams, some have that some don’t. Even less need a SG most likely. So then we look at teams out of contention and do they want to pay an aging KCP for that much? Maybe, I don’t know. Does he want to stay competitive? His past free agency decisions suggest that but I don’t know the guy haha.
mpj has the height the skills and the talent to be unguardable on 6'10 with his jumpshot but he scored 6 points in a important game and getting paid 40m a year.
I mean I can pull out a single game for anyone. Look up his total playoff number it’ll make ya feel better haha.
@@_AVC_ Michael Porter Jr. has averaged 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12 games in the 2024 playoffs.Well you are right :p i feel better
@@NezreNR Shot 40% from 3 as well and was top 25% of players in defensive rating 👀
@@_AVC_who carws about regular season what matters is under pressure... In the finals last year he vanished, and this year when Murray wasn't healthy... no mpj.
You are paying him, to win games not compliment the talent. He doenst win games.
MPJ Needs to go...
@@cjp1599 He like carried the Nuggets through the first round 😂
Update: I just looked it up and he is 6th in the NBA in wins above replacement. So there is no argument for saying he doesn’t win ya games. I get he missed some shots but go look at the numbers, dude is a hell of a player.
Unpopular opinion… this years draft the second round will be EXTREMELY valuable
I wouldn’t be surprised if more stick around than normal just because there isn’t as much of a gap between them and the 1st round talent.
@@_AVC_ have you seen adem bonas drop coverage defense/ guarding pick and roll and switching is elite !
Any way we can make an MPJ for Mikal Bridges trade happen?
Money wise that’s pretty hard to accomplish but I don’t think it’s unreasonable necessarily. I don’t think any GM is starting off their rebuild with MPJ though. He is a complimentary piece to your stars. I think it’s just fine to keep him personally.
Like to get some information regarding the reference material you use. Thanks 🙏🏼
Whatcha talkin bout homie? 😂
@@_AVC_ inwant to know more about the reference material you’re using for your shows etc. 🙏🏼
@@_AVC_ as far the Nuggets are concerned I’d like to see KCP decline his option forcing the front office to actually explore building a better roster. With all of the 2nd apron repercussions, I want the front office to explore any and all options. We need another ball handler and a legitimate backup 5. Nuggets weren’t good enough this year. No excuses, Nuggets need to improve around Jokic
@@5280Hoops Oh I literally just used to work in the NBA and have a lot of connections haha. Actually some breaking news is I’m about to be back apart of the league (kinda) as of today.
@@5280Hoops I hear ya on wanting a better roster. Good news is your first 5 is elite. Even if they lose KCP though they are stuck to either trading for talent or signing minimum dudes, so I think you probably just bring him back.
I would have drafted Yves Missi with that first round pick if I was Denver, he could be a good backup center for them, also I don’t see Denver making trades with the arch rival Lakers lol
I could see Missi for sure. I tried to prioritize a guy that can play with Jokic was my idea, but I see the gap he fills! I don’t think those two teams are against speaking terms, not many are. If you can get better you traditionally do it.
The one exception I know about was GS and the league deciding we will not give them a center haha.
Lowry was always on my radar. Hope it can happen.
It would be a huge boost!
This won't happen. Gordon and Lowry don't like each other. Lowry is a dirty player and after one of his antics, Gordon took a break from the NBA for a while. If i remember that was in Bubble.
@@ungolantek4443 I’m personally unaware of those lines being drawn 😅
YOU CALL THE MEN , boys.
I think it’s just coach lingo haha. “Let’s go get the boys together.” Is a phrase you often here before the start of practice haha.
We need scoring off the bench, a backup 5, and a backup point. KCP is gone unfortunately I would replace him with Braun and use the money elsewhere.
If KCP is gone you have more problems than you think. You still will be over the tax if not close to it so you’ll have maybe a MLE or a min contract guy. I think you guys will get KCP back.
Before the playoffs or after the trade deadline we could have signed Austin Rivers, Nerlens noel and will Barton or a Stanley johnson or justice Winslow if you don't like barton but just anyone those 3 could have given us depth we badly needed. Drop jordan, Maybe Nnaji, and Gillespie. Theres room for 3 players we could have used that Zeke nnaji contract is awful were gonna have to trade a 1st just to get rid of him 😭. Idk this is so disappointing we should have been able to repeat.
It was really close, I wouldn’t over analyze the guys still in free agency that much. I don’t think anyone is adding those guys this summer either haha. If 1-2 things swing differently in those games you guys could very well be about to repeat. Some little tweaks are all that’s needed.
If I was Denver, I would monitor the situation between Brandon Ingram and the Pelicans. He and Zion’s play style does not match at all, and he’ll be a pending free agent at the end of next year. If Ingram doesn’t agree to extend; I would see if I could offer MPJ for him straight up. Denver would lose spacing, however, the Nuggets get another ball handler who can create for himself and others.
Free agents, I think the Raptors will decline Bruce Brown’s team option next month as well as Gary Harris (expired). Inquire about their interest in return back to Denver, that along with Braun and Watson’s development should be enough for the perimeter/wing.
Another emphasis would be a backup big. Jonas Valenciunas, Xavier Tillman Steven Adams would be ideal; the main idea is a big body who can be a rougher player that offsets any physical plays. If not, they may have to inquire anyone who has questionable character issues such as Andre Drummond or Miles Bridges.
BI on Denver would be interesting. I would have to really think about that.
As far the free agents y’all really don’t have the money (even if you lose KCP). That’s why you gotta focus on minimum contract dudes and trying to maximize value in trades.
The Lakers would never give up Vanderbilt so everything kinda falls apart there. He also was already on the nuggets. And the lakers see him as some defensive piece that helps them vs the nuggets who they really don’t like at the moment
Think so? I know he was hurt a good chunk of the season but he did get pushed out of the rotation once in his Lakers run already and then when healthy this year he was like a 20 min max guy.
If LeBron leaves then you really have no use for him. I don’t see that happening personally but I don’t think he’s just untouchable.
@@_AVC_ if LeBron leaves then sure! That changes the whole equation. I love the trade idea in theory of course. It’s smart and your reasoning makes sense. I just know lakers fans think Vando could be some kind of defender on Jamal but I think Vando is an unplayable player atp. The Lakers could do the trade but I don’t think the front office is smart enough to realize they should move off Vando.
@@WJones23 The Lakers front office is generally pretty savvy honestly. I think they are just cautious to make any move that looks like selling cuz it’ll set everyone off. I bet ya they can be convinced if you spin it as a money clearing move.
Pistons next ?
I got Knicks tomorrow, then the Hornets at the latest on Monday. After that I got you! So next week I will supply your demand haha!
Want the spreadsheet😁
I got you! Use this link and hop on the discord then just shoot me a dm. I’ll get ya all set 👌🏼.
discord.gg/yHrBDRymBR
Good luck signing KCP for 3 years at $14m. If he’s taking a pay cut, he’ll want 4 years. You better get that offer to total >$50m or I’d bet he heads to greener pastures. KCP already has twice as many rings as any other Nugget, plays hard, and fits on every team in the league. Someone will pay him. Nuggets are cheap, but they have Walmart money. They can afford it.
Maybe! He always seems to chase rings so I wonder if he just takes that money to stay in contention.
When we getting hornets AVC?
Well they just got pushed up the list since you asked! I have to do the Knicks tomorrow still and then I have like 2-3 other vids to do so let’s plan on like Monday next week? 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds good! Love from the UK 🙏
@@IVIrFb99 Aye appreciate that bruv! That’s my attempt at matching your English culture 😂.
The lakers would never trade with us :((
Haha these teams think about that stuff for sure but if they see an opportunity to improve their situation they’ll do it. Especially if it saves them cash.
One immediate thing that pops to mind, given that Nuggets are a 2nd apron team.....they are not allowed to make any trade in which they aggregate salaries or acquire back more than 110% of the salary they traded (previously 125% was possible....likely what your trade machine is showing).So for that reason, Vanderbilt trade is not possible.
Yeah I was thinking about that and you are totally right. In essence though if you switch up the order of the events you can make it work, as there are points where you don’t touch the 2nd apron. But yes if I did it in this exact order it would not be possible! Great observation!
@AVC_Streams I still think it wouldn't be possible bc this 110% limitation also applies to first apron tax teams. Not trying to criticize btw...im just a basketball nerd lol. Love your idea of the draft day trade tho!!
@@msk362 No I love it! We wanna be accurate with this! What if we reroute Hunter Tyson (I think that’s who I traded lol) to the Lakers instead? They need cheap reserves like anyone else. Do we hit it then? Cuz what are we off? Like 2ish million?
@AVC_Streams Issue is that being a second apron team, contracts cannot be aggregated to acquire a bigger contract.
My personal thoughts on the Nuggets are the following:
1. KCP will likely go for 20+ mil per year (I don't anticipate a discount bc this is his last opportunity and best opportunity for a big contract) with multiple suitors (ex: Sixers, Spurs, Pistons). If he leaves, Braun will be named a starter and nuggets will be left with a small (4-5 mil) mid-level. At that point they will have to consider if they wanna break MPJ into 2 players. I hope they retain KCP btw.
2. Love your idea of trading our 2nd for a future second.
3. What I think may happen at some point is that Zeke or Reggie may be traded alongside one of the three prized young players (Julian S, Peyton Watson, or braun) for a vet. Like I could see a young team willing to swallow Zeke's contract for the chance at Watson (esp with his upside).
4. Veteran minimums
What are your thoughts ?
@@msk362 Love this by the way. Very well done! Just touching on the trade idea again quick I presumed we would combine them while they are still technically in the 1st apron. But anyway let’s hit your points.
1. I think he goes for a bit lower but yeah I see him coming back.
2. 🤝
3. I totally think that’s plausible. I’m not sure they have a player interesting enough to convince someone to take on his contract. Unless of course it’s a Vandy type situation where there is another contract they don’t want. But yeah we gotta do something with him.
4. Yeah 100% haha.
appreciate the realism
Haha I try my best. Obviously not always perf but hopefully enough to share some thoughts and get us thinking!
If you can work a trade with Mpj for og Anunnoby or mikal bridges we need to preferably Og, but we need a 2 way player. Need to trade nnaji and I think even some of the young guys to get players who can help now its a crime to waste any more of jokics prime. Keep braun and watson unless there's something big we can get but we have to improve were getting worse every year we run it back and ksow lose a guy or two. Mpj i love him but hes not a Max player cant defend and disappears in playoffs did it last year too we were deep enough to get past it.
I don’t hate the idea of Mikal or OG, obviously those are really talented players. I think MPJ fits this team like a glove though. I know he wasn’t hitting at the end but you can’t say he disappeared when he won ya half of the playoff games this year.
Hawks please
I have a few other teams ahead of that on the list but it will be done soon! That’s gonna be a tough one 😅.
Trade mpj use 50m sign Tyrese maxey, or Paul George and Clay Thompson
I am 99% sure that’s impossible unless you straight up traded him for them.
@@_AVC_ they are all unrestricted free agents. Just need to offer them realistic contracts. I believe that maxey would take the 50m per year. I believe the warriors are offering 26m per to Clay so 29 at way lower state tax rate might get him not sure what Paul George wants. The nuggets need to upgrade the team and pay that luxury tax. The new TV deal will significantly raise the 2025 cap. They can be over one year.
@@justinemerson1340 The Nuggets are an and apron team even still so they can only offer a min contract.
Your Fired🔥 as Nuggets GM… KCP is likely gone when free agency starts✌🏻 Denver literally Traded away Jared Vanderbilt when he could break into the rotation because he couldn’t play backup C at all🤨 and has injury concerns now🙄 Nuggets turned the table back with Zeke Nnaji and has mostly played Center plus Hunter Tyson isn’t getting traded away just too draft Johnny Furphy🥱 (Waste of a draft pick ) when a C/PF prospect or a better guard is available👎
This might be the most colorful comment I’ve received haha. Well fair enough I guess 😂.
For clarification purposes do you want KCP back or no?
@@_AVC_ No KCP is going too demand more then 20 mil per season and Bruce Brown will likely have his option declined by Toronto would rather sign Bruce Brown for 2-3 years at 14-16 mil per season… Also 28th overall pick should be used on a C/PF type DaRon Holmes/PJ Hall/Adem Bona etc…pick one and develop them too either push or replace Zeke Nnaji👍
MPJ for two playable guys
Aw come on now 😂
Yes. Maybe could get even three.
@@whiteyobanion1104 Y’all gotta chill man, leave MPJ alone 😂
@@_AVC_ Nah, trade his ass. Maybe him and his brother can start a sports betting app.
@@whiteyobanion1104 That’s wild lol. Nah fr though he fits the team so well. I know he has his deficiencies but everyone does.
Can’t you just wave Tyson ?
From what I saw his contract was guaranteed. So when we trade him we save a ton of money, especially being in the 2nd apron.
Jokic, Murray, Gordon, MPJ, Watson, Braun, Cancar and Jordan will surely stay
Hopefully KCP will stay too. Love them together. Need Bruce Brown back and we must draft DJ Burns. Crazy Nuggets family. Hungry to win another ring...
Adding DJ Burns would be awesome haha. He probably goes undrafted so maybe he gets a 2-way?
KCP is going to have alot of teams who want him. I could see someone giving him 3yr 60mill.
RJ has no place on this team. He'll be gone.
You’ll have to trade something with Reggie to get someone to take him is the problem. It’s probably more beneficial to just keep him.
As far as KCP goes I totally hear you. Having looked around the league though there are probably only two “good” teams (we assume he wants to win because historically he has done that) that have the cap space to do that. Philly and Orlando if they clear a contract. So it might just be easier for him to take a decent but longer contract with Denver.
@@_AVC_Yeah, RJ has a player option for next year, I could see him optioning out, he probably see the writing on the wall.
Trading TH just to draft another guy with the same profile is weird to me. Just keep him and try trading Zeke. The Nuggets need a backup big, but more importantly they need another guy who can handle the ball.
I appreciate your video.
@@Davian_James Of course! Happy to provide it! Not sure why he would turn down 5 million though haha. Seriously though thank you for the praise!
Man mpj not worth that max
MPJ is a pretty good basketball player y’all haha. I know the last series was rough but come on y’all just won a chip with him 😂.
@@_AVC_ that still doesn't change the fact he's not worth it
@@VVzxc Just hear me out for one sec though on this. If you still disagree completely then fair enough. It’s a lot harder to get top tier talent than middle level and bottom tier talents. I know it’s a lot of money but only so many dudes can go get buckets like MPJ. I say this because a lot of teams make the mistake of thinking it’s easy to go back and forth. You may like the idea of having 2 more cheaper solid role players on the team but then in the playoffs someone goes cold one night and then we end up in my comments section next year saying “We need to add another big time scoring option!” Haha. That’s all I hear from Knicks fans right now 😂.
You know you can win with MPJ, he fits the team perfectly, and I promise you he is one of the more rare players in the league. Don’t give up hope a year removed from a chip.
@@_AVC_ i've been telling he's not worth it ever since he signed that contract. If he was $15 million a year we wouldn't be having this conversation. When he shot is not falling he's basically useless, he's 6'10 playing like 6'3 .. at this point i would trade him for 2 solid role players.
@AVC_Streams we have no bench bruce brown use to close out games for him he don't bring enough to the table to be taking that much salary up
Have you ever watched the Nuggets? Hunter has potential
11:07
Everyone has some potential. We gotta weigh it in our decision matrix though. In this case a guy that shot 20 shots for us didn’t outweigh having another roster spot for me.
MPJ learns how to play basketball would be cool. He has no skill beyond elite 3p shooting. He can't drive, can't defend and has no vision. AG needs to learn how to shoot! When he hit those 3s, the Nuggets looked invincible. Braun and Watson need to grow and you need a really good backup C and possibly another wing for a proper rotation. Maybe Brown gets bought out and you can get him again...
I mean yeah we can always say certain guys need to be better at xyz. Only so many guys can be great at everything though. AG becoming a better shooter I can see, MPJ is who he is on defense most likely. His lateral quickness is just not a thing he has. But we can appreciate how lethal he is on offense otherwise though!
I agree though that some depth is needed!
Like all our Nuggets, honestly. NBA politics. Jokic decided not to lose to Luka... So better refresh a month and beat the USA for Olympic gold.!!! That Serbian team with Joker going through all walls ... World basketball don't bet on Serbia is going to grant you another gold medal. This is Serbia with Jokic...coming at you. Nightmare... for Dreamer team.
I understood next to nothing of this 😅. Maybe English isn’t the first language?
Mpj needs to be moved... to miss that you lose all credibility... zeke and mpj need to go...
A very direct comment 😅. I’m happy to discuss it if you want haha.
I’m guessing you’re annoyed because he didn’t play well in the MN series. I think that’s personally kinda harsh. Maybe you have another reason but I guess I don’t know what it would be.
@@_AVC_ mpj for 35 mil or og and gary harris for 35 mil, I would take og and Gary every day. Mpj can't create off the dribble and vanishes if the team is struggling so in all his years he still hasnt won the nuggets a single game... AG has, as has KCP, even Bruce in just one season won games for the team... mpj just compliments... that's a stupid ass waste of money when you have no bench... he had almost no part in that title run-nothing special, he was on the bench most games at the end... that's not a max salary guy... duh!
@@cjp1599 I mean he has definitely won y’all games lol. He literally is top 10 in the league in wins above replacement.
