Nikola Jokic Expected To Sign Four-Year, $278M Extension With Nuggets In Offseason

While Jokic remains central to everything the Nuggets do, there could be significant changes to the roster around him. This is a team that has a lot of questions now going into the offseason, said Shams Charania on Stephen A. Smith's radio show on Friday. I will tell you, the Denver Nuggets, from their top brass on down to that organization, they believe Nicole Jokic at his word. He wants to be there. This is not a situation where he's talking about potentially leaving, or looking elsewhere. Or saying 'Hey, I need you guys to do this. I need you guys to do that.' He's very, very internally and externally 'I'm here, no matter what, I'm re-signing.' And so that's the approach. But there are going to be changes in Denver. I don't know how much, but there's going to be some level of change. Whether that's tinkering a couple a couple players around... But they are so strapped financially moving forward in whether it's the tax, whether it's approaching the aprons, that there's going to be a lot of a lot of conversations about players on this roster.
