Nuggets Have 'No Choice But Trust' Nikola Jokic On Re-Signing In 2027
Nikola Jokic plans to wait until unrestricted free agency in 2027 to resolve his contract status, leaving the Denver Nuggets to manage that uncertainty over the next year. Nuggets general manager Jon Wallace addressed the situation directly. We feel confident, said Wallace on ESPN's Summer League broadcast via Bennett Durando of the Denver Post. We trust him. We've got no choice but to. Jokic can sign a four-year, 278 million contract with Denver this offseason. Waiting until 2027 would make him eligible for a five-year, 359.5 million max contract that includes a no-trade clause. Jokic also holds a player option worth 62.8 million for the 2027-28 season. Jokic averaged 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists in 34.8 minutes over 65 games in his age-30 season as he finished second in MVP voting. Jokic has finished first or second in MVP voting in six straight seasons dating back to 2021. The Nuggets haven't advanced out of the second round since winning the championship in 2023.

Nuggets Reach Out To LeBron James In Free Agency
The Denver Nuggets have reached out to express interest in signing LeBron James. James made the decision on Tuesday that he will explore his options in free agency and leave the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons with the franchise. The Nuggets tried to recruit James to the Nuggets in 2018 when he was a free agent and ultimately left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Lakers. James has described Nuggets team president Josh Kroenke as a very dear friend. The Nuggets would give James the opportunity to team up with Nikola Jokic. The Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat have been mentioned by ESPN as the three most probable destinations for James. But with James willing to take less money in free agency, the Nuggets open up as a possibility.
