Nikola Jokic says: “My plan is to be a pepper forever”

Last summer, Nikola Jokic refused an offer to sign a three -year $ 212 million extension with Denver Nuggets. There was a very logical motif for this: it can get an extra year and almost $ 80 million more if you wait to sign an extension next summer.

The logic has never stopped random online speculation and some wondered if it were a sign that could have wanted to go out in the summer of 2027, when it can become a free agent. No, it doesn’t. Jokic concluded him at the Nuggets Media Day on Monday.

“Those extensions of the contract come as a reward as something natural for sport,” said Jokic. “Especially in today’s NBA with the way the salary limit is going. My plan is to be a pepper forever.”

While there are teams that aim to have space on the limits in 2027, most of them are more focused on another ex -MVP, one who plays in a city in the northern midwest. Of course, they would be open to Jokic if he had decided on the bolt, but nobody really expected it to happen.

Now Jokic and Jamal Murray – One of the best Duets of NBA – It can focus on returning the pepper to the NBA finals, surrounded by an improved list full of solid rolely players such as Cameron Johnson, Bruce Brown and Tim. Hardaway Jr., as well as the return Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther.
