Nuggets are cooking. They’ve needed a guy that can come in for Jokic.

They’ve added good depth. West has really gotten better.

Kings got something going to do this. Saric is like dead money. They must want to take on money.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I remember JV getting worked over by rookie Jokic. Also how Jokic was impervious to JV's elbows and hard fouls. Then I remembered how Cousins wound up to hit JV in the back of the head because he couldn't take a forearm. Three unathletic Cs in a pace and space era. Two still going and one fighting fans in a bush league.

That's actually a great place for Val. They need someone to score when Jokic sits, perfect back up for him.

Oh wow, a team that has Jokic sees the value of getting a backup to the best player in the NBA.

Don't worry, raptors dont need one for Poeltl lol.

Cool.to see JV still being relevant. I'll confess I had no idea he was even with the Kings. He's become quite the journeyman.

True, they even gave up a major piece in Saric to get him too.
