At the turn of the playoffs, news came out that Jokic's contract extension with the Nuggets was blocked, the Nuggets never thought that Jokic would leave the team, and very sincerely offered a big contract of 5 years and 270 million US dollars. However, the supergiant seems to have his own considerations, and he temporarily rejected this very attractive contract. The author believes that Jokic's refusal to renew his contract has only one purpose, that is, he hopes to join a stronger team, because staying in the Nuggets can only get the regular season Most Valuable Player, which is still very far from the championship. For the players, the personal honor is obtained, and it is natural to spare no effort to pursue the championship.
Of course, Jokic will certainly not block his way, and if the Nuggets can bring in stronger stars to assist him in the offseason, they can still persuade him to renew his contract to stay with the team. I don't know if Jokic is really dissatisfied with Murray and Porter's auxiliary abilities, but they really aren't enough to help Jokic achieve his dream of winning the championship. So, if you want to guess the new team jokic can choose, there are actually only four teams, they are the Heat, Lakers, Celtics, clippers. First look at the first team, the Heat, who have the biggest chance of getting Jokic because there are so many chips in their hands.
The Heat itself is very similar to the Nuggets' roster structure, with only one player standing out and the rest of the players very close in strength. If the Heat want to keep Butler, other players including Hiro can be traded, and if they can get Hiro, Lowry, and Adebayo, I believe the Nuggets will be very satisfied. The combination of Jokic and Butler is enough to look forward to, and there are definitely more chances to win the championship than staying in the Nuggets. The second team is the Lakers, and if Jokic is willing to assist James and believe that the Lakers are willing to meet all the requirements of the Nuggets, thick eyebrows will definitely become one of the trading objects. If this deal comes true, I even think James will make Jokic the number one core of the Lakers.
The third team is the Celtics, basically Tatum and Jaylen Brown can only keep one, so the Celtics are not short of trading chips, and it is expected to leave behind the stronger forward ace Tatum. The Celtics can come up with Jaylen Brown, Williams and several draft picks to attract the Nuggets, and such a trading plan has some feasibility. Of course, Jokic will definitely consider the possibility of a title win with partner Tatum, and it seems that it is better to stay with the Nuggets. The fourth team is the Clippers, which many believe is considered a most unlikely option, but this is also the platform where Jokic is most likely to win the championship.
Because the Clippers have always aimed to win the championship, otherwise they wouldn't have combined Leonard and George. Unfortunately, there are too many injuries and some incompatibilities between the two major superheroes, which is enough for the Clippers to rethink how to build a championship-winning lineup. Combined with the fact that the team has a number of players with strong immediate combat strength, it is very easy to combine a feasible set of trading solutions. In particular, the Clippers often trade in the offseason, and it is also possible to eat Jokic, that is, to see which stars are ready to sacrifice. The above for Jokic's future choices, is just some personal analysis, if Jokic really wants to win the championship, it is best to leave the Nuggets.
