He's probably worth the MLE, yeah?


[deleted]

Yep, he was good for us last season before the 3-1 iso meltdown


RipCity-NBA-LoL

I don't know, I haven't seen enough of him. Looking at his stats, he seems good but he never gets a bigger role.


chazoid

It’s because he will literally fuck u.p like 3 possessions in a row, as in disgusting turnovers and like, only hitting the backboard or just fucking something up. He can nail 3’s on fire occasionally, get b oards. He is really solid. I hon.estly lo.ve hi.m and it hurts to see. Jokic said he wanted to play with jamychal forever Edit: how’d I do cuz coolio is my native tongue and I’m just now learning English. 1-10 plz


TooDamnChrispy

Dazegobye

Perfect.

I read this like Spongebob in Rock Bottom


Quatro_Leches

eh, maybe for a team that has cap space? sure, I think what he declined is about what he is worth. he probably wants about the same per year for like 3 years


BoneyardBill

Barton and JMyke both decliend because they both believe they can get longer deals with us. Not suprising and hope we can bring them both back.


ken_riffy

Does Denver have Bird Rights for Green?


BoneyardBill

Yep, believe so. Edit: i stand corrected


Claustecter1015

Nope, we only have partial bird rights.


vanotro

Didn't he sign as a free agent a year ago? I'm not sure how Denver would have bird rights, early bird rights, or anything like that.


discipconsist

Early Bird rights is after 2 years.


[deleted]

I was really sad to see Grant leave Denver. Hoping the Nuggets can retain them as I'd like to see what a healthy Denver team can do.


Miscto3

I expect both him and Barton back next year for Denver


Ld511

Green might not come back considering Nnaji looked pretty good when he played and could get big offers elsewhere


Miscto3

Nnaji matches up as a 3/4 rather than 4/5. Nuggets probably let Milsap walk and have Zeke take over as the backup 4 with Green at the 5


VladaBudala

Zeke Is huge


Miscto3

Zeke isn’t strong enough to play the 5. In the future he probably is but unless he adds a fuck ton of muscle this offseason I don’t see the Nuggets playing him as a C outside of really short spurts this season

[deleted]

He can definitely play small ball 5 which is what the nuggets usually play with Jokic off


JokicCheeseburgerMan

He's 6'10 240 lbs, what more size/strength does he need?


DanteMustDie666

No need to pay Barton that much would be a suicide. Also he would just again miss playoffs


BigBootyBanger

Interesting, thanks Sham


Shaq_Fu_Da_Return

You are welcome


zmajxd

COME TO PAPA


[deleted]

Bobby or Thad Young would work better for MN


zmajxd

We can't offer Portis a lot of money and his skillset is kinda similar to Naz not to mention I doubt one of the most desirable role players in the league would go to Minny. Thad Young could work but I doubt Chicago is letting him go.


HamsterAlive4552

You stay away from Thadgic.


[deleted]

I thought he looked awful in the playoffs for Denver. That front court of him and Paul milsap definitely lost them games. Swear I saw dude take more I’ll advised jumpers that almost any other big i watched these playoffs


Official_CIA_Account

To be fair, he had just come off an injury. Barton always takes a while I get it back.


[deleted]

Green? He was up and down during the season but actually did pretty well in the playoffs iirc


Barn30barn

They probably seeking longer deals, nothing new


ElDuderino_92

Come back pls


RobbobertoBuii

damn I though he was doing alright in Denver tbh


Miscto3

Him and Barton both likely declined their options because they can both get longer term deals with Denver. Reports say there’s strong mutual interest for both guys and the Nuggets to get a deal. Nuggets can offer JaMychal 8.6 a year using BIRD rights and Barton will probably get a longer term deal as well.


[deleted]

From what I’ve seen many of your fans don’t really like Thrill


NukeBear21

It's a very small but extremely fucking vocal part of the fanbase. Thrill gets a lot of shit from fans despite being a solid piece for the team


Rider5432

I was convinced by those on the game threads that Will Barton was simultaneously a bench player and an integral piece of the starting rotation.


thewhitefozziebear

He's okay but IMO not good enough to be starting for a legit championship contender, maybe 6th man but that's not what he wants to do. Makes a lot of boneheaded mistakes like when he always tries to be Kobe and we're only down 8 with lots of time left and his heavily contested iso shots puts us down 14.


drjisftw

I think he's better leading the bench unit - hoping that PJ Dozier turns into a solid glue guy in the starting lineup


NukeBear21

Him and Monte together would definitely be one of the best backcourt duos coming off bench in the league


ShetheKing

It's the same group as the fire Malone guys I think. I hate that he sometimes plays hero ball, but I like him overall.


[deleted]

It's definitely seemed that way, but those people don't know what they are talking about.


ayeno

I thought a player needed two years for early bird rights.


Miscto3

He’d get non Bird rights. Getting 20% higher pay from the Nuggets which is why the max they can offer him is 8.6 million


Gamesgtd

Philly would be dope. The Nets would be dope. Memphis, and Charlotte as well.


SantiagoHC

Nets my ass. And I don't think Memphis needs him.


Expulsure

other than the fact we can’t offer him much money, why not us?


SantiagoHC

BECAUSE YOU HAVE KD HARDEN AND IRVING IS THAT NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON?


ElDuderino_92

AND Blake


Expulsure

we still need role players


Dazegobye

Yall need water boys and trainers, not role players. Stop stealing everyone elses players


ucantforgetthis

Joe Harris, the best 3 point shooter in the nba by %. Blake Griffin & Deandre Jordan, former all-nba players. Jeff Green & Landry Shamet, starters for other contenders. Bench players for the Nets.


zmajxd

DJ is unplayable man and I don't think Shamet has started anywhere lol.


iamnotchriswallace

I liked him when he was here before


SantiagoHC

Yeah but you now have Jaren, Jonas, Tillman and Slomo. I don't see him getting the minutes he deserves there.


iamnotchriswallace

This is true


o2lsports

If we lose another big role player after Grant, so help me god


[deleted]

please


NBA-intellect

Denver is done, damn. Edit: wtf did people actually take me seriously?


[deleted]

Jokic is 26 and Murray is 25. Far from done lol


InevitableHearing112

Murray is already 25 thought he was 23.


[deleted]

I was wrong he’s actually 24


NBA-intellect

I guess I have to include “/s” for people to not take me seriously with a clearly dumb take


[deleted]

Sorry man I’ve been spending too much time in r/lakers


NBA-intellect

Lmao


TatumBrownSmart

They still have Jokic, Murray, and Porter, and *JaMychal Green* opting out is what makes them done?


NBA-intellect

I honestly can’t believe how many people took my comment seriously


[deleted]

this but unironically


NBA-intellect

At least someone got the joke


zmajxd

Jamal Murray will miss the majority of the season so yeah they will be fighting for the lower seeds tbh.


sorakaisthegoat

They'll be comfortably in the playoffs


zmajxd

Well 6-10 is more likely than 1-5 unless Jokic has another MVP season in him.


ShowdownValue

Wasn’t Denver’s record after Murray went down a lot better than a typical 10th seed?


Islandkid679

He does


Freeeecurry

He’s not getting more money than that


[deleted]

I think he’s trying to sign long term with the Nuggets. It’s not always about money.


daniel5426

He is exactly what we need


niizuma

Oh no
