Nikola Jokic has informed the Nuggets he won't sign a contract extension this offseason

I am sure this will get blown out of proportion. Obviously makes sense to wait and get a bigger payday

It's only a huge deal if he refuses to sign one after next season.

Next year is a very important year for the Nuggets.

Jokic and Giannis can opt out at the same time. Not saying they will team up but it would be amazing if they did

Jokic is basically admitting he needs better teammates to win. He's not that guy.

I know the roster is not up to date, but Jokic is in contract until the end of the 26-27 season. He has a player option in the offseason; if he declines, then he’s a free agent.

In simple terms, Nikola Jokic is in Denver for another two season before he can make any decision (exercise player option, opt out, sign extension, join Panathinaikos, etc.)

LMAO I called this months ago

Jokic is out. He's gonna join Luka in LA. Pay attention to the signs people. Denver had a great off-season and he still turned down the contract.

Luka/Jokic get ready for it. Gonna be hilarious to see the Jokic fanboys have to root for the Lakers. :lol:

Probably signs a 4 year extension next year and then retires in 2031 at 36 to go back to Serbia and become a full time horse guy

Lol I knew you going to post. It is like people lack reading comprehension. Either that or too eager to troll. I knew when I started this thread it will attract all of low level trolls. You know what else will happen Luka will turn down his extension too. Because news flash you make more money waiting. Especially Luka.

Joker isn't going anywhere. He's already got a ring along with MVPs to cement his legacy. Basketball isn't the only thing in the world that matters to him. He's happy in Denver, settled there. He'll make more money by staying. But for those who are bored in the summer and don't know what to do with their free time, let them speculate and argue!
