Officially forcing the palace! Jokic refused to renew his contract for 220 million yuan three years in advance, and the reason is clear at a glance!

On May 23, major regular season awards were announced one after another. The most popular regular season MVP fell in Alexander. As the only player who can compete with Alexander for MVP, Nikola Jokic played an extraordinary season. To be fair, with a lineup like the Nuggets, he finally made it to the playoffs with fourth place in the West. He eliminated the Clippers who were in excellent form in the second half of the regular season in the first round, and directly forced the league-leading Thunder into a desperate situation in the second round. If it weren't for the four core cores of Porter Jr., Gordon, Murray and Westbrook, who had suffered serious injuries, the Nuggets would have really had a chance to overthrow the Thunder! Behind all this is Jokic's strong personal influence. In the regular season, Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 57.6/41.7/80% in three events! Scoring third in the league, rebounding third in the league, assist second in the league, steal second in the league, offensive efficiency is 125.6 first in the league. From the data level, Jokic has played the unique NBA data performance. If it weren't for the huge gap in the record between the Nuggets and the Thunder, Jokic would be the unquestionable MVP!

Jokic came to the playoffs in 14 playoffs, averaging 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, ranking eighth in scoring, second in rebounds, fourth in assists, and third in steals! He scored at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists twice in the Thunder series! Unlike other offensive players, Jokic can not only score by himself, but also drive his teammates to perform. Unstable players like Braun, Westbrook, Watson, and Strauser can always perform beyond expectations around him, which is also the main reason why the Nuggets can play in the playoffs for two consecutive rounds to tiebreak! In any case, the Nuggets can play this position this season. Gordon has insisted on playing on the G7 with a second-degree hamstring strain. The tenacity of this team is worth everyone taking off the hat and paying tribute. The Nuggets have come to an end this season! Jokic has also reached a stage where he needs to consider the subsequent development of his career!

Under the NBA's labor and capital agreement, Jokic is eligible to complete a three-year, $220 million maximum salary renewal contract with the Nuggets in the offseason! But according to Troy, a well-known reporter from the Nuggets Media Denver Post, Jokic will not renew his contract in advance at present. This can be predicted from the interview after losing with the Thunder G7. Jokic expressed many personal opinions when interviewing reporters. First of all, Jokic said that the Nuggets this season do not have the strength to compete for the championship. The main reason is that the lineup is insufficient. He admitted that the team needs to increase the depth of the bench, and teams with longer rotations and thicker lineup depth are the winners of the playoffs, and took examples from Pacers, Thunder, and Timberwolves! Since winning the championship in 23, the Nuggets have let go of the championship core in two offseasons, the substitute core Bruce Brown and Jeff Green in the summer of 23, and the outside defense core Pope in the summer of 24, causing the team's pressure to completely reach the core fours, which will lead to the Nuggets' combat power being greatly affected as long as any of these four people suffers from injury.

Jokic entered the league in 2014 and has finished his 11th season. He has reached the end of his personal golden peak and has stopped at the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive seasons. This is a waste of the peak of his personal career! Now that refusing to renew the contract with the team in advance can be regarded as a formal force. The Nuggets fired Booth and Malone at the end of the regular season. How the Nuggets do in the offseason will directly determine Jokic's next choice.

From Jokic's perspective, the reason why he refused to renew his contract with the Nuggets early is clear. The first thing is to see whether the team can accept his demands and build a lineup for him to compete for the championship. Another thing is that the situation in the league is changing rapidly now. Taking the Celtics as an example, many people believe that after they won the championship last year, they will be championship-level teams for many years in the future, but in just one season, this team may be disintegrated, which has led to Jokic having to consider that his personal career destiny should not be bound to a team too early. Of course, the core of these problems is one, that is, Jokic can no longer wait. What he wants to do now is to strive for as much championship as possible at the peak of his career, rather than cutting data in the past. Jokic has three years left in his contract. If the team's management still fails to do anything, as the first active player in the league, he will definitely stand up and dominate his destiny in person! So do you think the Nuggets will have big moves during the offseason? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
