Really felt like he had it in him to essentially be a bigger Dame. I was very high on him as a prospect and thought he’d finally get back on that trajectory after that ring, but idk what happened.

It’s like he lost his separation ability a lot earlier than other guards.

Every good play just makes him more c̶o̶n̶f̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ delusional.

They’re in big trouble. Murray’s meh and half the time isn’t even available, Gordon is decent but very matchup dependent, Porter just sucks, Russ is Russ, and they have a bunch of low IQ youth.

It’ll be real interesting to see what the next few seasons look like for Jokic.

Denver has good compliments to Joker, but once he's taken out they just have nothing to go to.

Why the hell or Murray and MPJ on max contracts?

People were getting mad about “teams not being able to resign their own player” in the offseason. But MPJ, Murray, and Nnaji are are combined 25 to 30 million dollars over paid. The money to pay the bench is right there.

Braun +6, Russ -16... yikes. What a wild swing at the moment.

Oof this current Denver squad is an 11-12 seed w/o Jokic. And now they’re stuck with Murray

Westbrook is just pure comedy.

Man ... Julius Randle. Some possessions he does something ugly and it goes in or he gets an assist. Other possessions he does something ugly and it ends ugly. I'll give him a pass since he has been away from the game with injuries AND on a new team, but holy moly.

Might trade him at the half already.

Usually former MVP's retire before they become this bad. This guy has some ego on him.

Small market team who won a title with HOF player who will never threaten to leave. Only reason the Bucks are different is because Giannis plays games with them in the media. If Giannis were like Jokic the Bucks would still have Eric Bledsoe

"That's what you got to love about Russ"

10 bonehead plays then one nice block?

Is this what I have to look forward to for 82 games?

This has gotta be Westbrook’s last year in the league, just garbage.

Nuggets need to turn Westbrook into the new DeAndre Jordan and hope Strawther is ready.
