Comment on Nikola Jokic's shrinking prime -- and the disconnect brewing inside Denver trying to salvage it
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoGiven the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.
maybe but if that is the case they should have negotiated harder with MPJ and Murray. Then they would have had more money to work with for KCP or whoever else. Also Saric for $5m is a bit much.

Oh I agree, not saying Booth is without fault by any means.
The saric deal is not looking good so far.
I agree that they should’ve pushed a bit more on the MPJ deal, while it wasn’t a true max since a lot of it was incentives based I feel like the market wasn’t huge back then given his back injuries they could’ve squeezed some more. He hasn’t made the improvements he needed to be worth it so I honestly think he’s the most likely to get moved if they do something since Murray at least has had the highs and has great chemistry with Jokic.
