Is Nikola Jokic leaving the Nuggets? He rejected the team’s offer for an extension

The Denver Nuggets are enjoying a productive offseason, bolstering their lineup as they await Jonas Valanciunas' decision. Despite the team's positive momentum, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic has chosen not to sign a contract extension this offseason.According to Bennett Durando of the Denver Post, Jokic informed the Nuggets that he prefers to postpone extension talks until next year. Currently, Jokic has about $177 million left on his supermax contract, which includes three more seasons and a player option for 2027-28.This offseason, Denver could have offered Jokic a three-year extension worth $212 million-the maximum available now. However, by waiting until 2026, Jokic could sign a four-year deal nearing $300 million. Given his continued dominance and his age (he will be 31 next year), this strategic decision allows him to maximize his earnings.Jokic's choice is not due to dissatisfaction with the team but […]

Just over a month ago, on April 22, the prestigious American website The Athletic published the results of its traditional annual survey of 90 NBA players. And in it, Tyrese Haliburton had the dubious honour of being considered the most overrated player in the NBA by 14.4% of those surveyedIt is not known whether they chose the Pacers point guard because of his salary in relation to his performance, with $42.1 million (21st in the NBA), his sporting skills or his popularity, but 13 of the 90 players consulted pointed to him.Haliburton opens up to Reggie Miller about the intense pressure that comes with his celebrationWhat is clear, especially after what has been seen in these playoffs, is that they were all wrong.

AGreek is crowned NBA MVP... a Serbian wins the NBA's Player of the Season award... a Cameroonian is proclaimed the NBA's Player of the Season... a Canadian is hailed as the NBA's Player of the Season... Read like that, it could be the start of a joke, and if anyone had thought to predict such a thing more than a decade ago, they would have been laughed at.But times have changed and what would have been a pipe dream in other times has become a reality. The choice of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder) confirms that the United States has lost its NBA hegemony to the foreign legion.

Jokic’s former coach’s dart: “Gilgeous-Alexander showed why he is the MVP”

Michael Malone was surprisingly fired as Nuggets coach when only three regular season games remained and the playoffs were just around the corner. It was the latest dismissal in NBA history, equaling that of Hubie Brown with the Hawks in 1981. From the locker room there were no words in defense of the coach who had led Denver to its first NBA championship.Neither did Nikola Jokic, the franchise player, who limited himself to lukewarm comments. "If you want to change something, this is the way and the owner wanted to do it. It was a tough day for everybody, probably especially for him and his family, but I would say it's just part of the business," said the Serbian center.Jokic: "There's going to be a lot of beer these days..."Malone has not taken long to find work, although not on […]
