How do the Nuggets do these years in the regular season and playoffs?

Probably the best team in the league by a decent margin. Peak Wade and Jokic on the same team?

I could see the Lakers battling it out with them while losing but I think they cruise to 16-4 type records in the playoffs the last two years. I think overall team strength has been pretty low the last few years. That team would decimate everyone. 62-64 wins in the rs.

It would be really interesting to see the fit of jokic and wade together in modern league

I mean Jokic/Wade is a pretty seamless fit as far as two two co-existing MVP caliber core components go, both particularly resilient and portable offensive forces who scale to the playoffs with minimal theoretical overlap. Jokic and Wade just ranked 16th and 18th all-time in the current peaks project, and we're getting peak abilities of these guys. This combo would effectively represent the most outsized level of high-end talent in the league these seasons. We can quibble about supporting cast, but I'm not sure how much it matters when you have such a dominant pairing as this [in fact the one season here where they would face a comparable duo (2020 LeBron/Davis), Denver actually had a formidable supporting cast around Jokic]
