[Unfounded Rumor] Sporting News via Yahoo - Doncic could be Denver bound

[Movics]

No need to complain if you're up 14 and you end up -15.

5 on 8 basketball is hard

Madrid should know better.
It's hard in football too. 11 on 14

Barcelona was paying the refs for 20 years but ok

[Jasen777]

Hasn't Luka been pretty clear that he wants to commit to LA? He's considered to be a very loyal dude.

He was loyal, to the Mavs. Perhaps he'll reconsider the concept.

[Jedi32]

We will see. Luka changes things.

The last game these two played Lakers went into Denver and obliterated them. Used the same scheme OKC did by trapping Jokic. Maybe OKC stole the gameplan from JJ, who knows. But Luka had a field day. Zero defense on him. I think those days of Denver having the Lakers numbers are coming to an end.

And the nuggets haven't owned the Lakers for the last five years. Lakers beat them in 20'. Lakers got bounced by the suns in 21' and by the wolves this year.

I think the Nuggets are 17-4 in the last 4 years vs. Lakers in games Jokic has played (he missed two - both losses).

That's nice but you can't own anyone in the regular season. So my point stands. In the last 5 years they've played each other 3 times and the nuggets won two of those series. Hardly owning anything. That's just realgm putting 10 on 2 as usual with anything that has to do with the Lakers.

[JRoy]

That would be great.

2021 - Did not face
2022 - Did not face
2023 - Sweep
2024 - 4-1 Nuggets
2025 - Did not face

Add on the regular season beatdowns and it's...borderline abuse tbh.

Both teams are very different than even 2024 series. Neither has the same coach, a lot of their core rotation has changed on both sides. Other than being the Nuggets and Lakers there’s not much of a similarity. Yes Jokic, Murray, and LeBron are still there but both teams do not play the same way anymore.

[Lalouie]

this is not an "unfounded rumor"

this goes under the "made-up stuff whilst sitting on the cr@pper" category

Before Solomon Hill injured LeBron in 2021, I think he got 13-5 head-to-head record against Jokic including 4-1 in 2020 Playoffs. Is that a borderline abuse in your opinion? Still, great job by the Joker and his Nuggets beating 39-40 years old LeBron and his Lakers in 2023 and 2024 Playoffs when most players already retired by that age.

No it's realgm bs tbh, but it seems some need that so have at it.

Jokic will be washed/retired by 37. Cant wait for him to have poor h2h record against bronny james or someone like that

Love this. LA in shambles. Doncic loves to fish. And the fishing is great in Colorado.

This is the kind of crap Sporting News poops out several times a day. Pure click baiting drivel.

They were pretty respected back in the day too. Honestly forgot they were still around until this NBA junk started popping up on my phone every day.

[Crunch 99]

Bruh. Yahoo hasn't been relevant since the 90s. lol. Luka is here to stay.

Since the 90s? Adrian Wojnarowski was dropping news-making Woj bombs at Yahoo Sports up until summer 2017, at which time he left Yahoo Sports for ESPN.

[um.]

Doncic and Jokic in Denver is a dream come true.
The fishing and river rafting in Colorado is what these boys want.
