US Records: Although the Nuggets are turbulent, there is never any sign that Jokic wants to leave the team

Microsoft Zach Lowe talked about Jokic's recent departure rumors on the podcast.

Zach Lowe said: "Jokic said that 'it is not financially cost-effective to renew the contract early this summer, so let's talk about it next year', and no one in Denver was surprised by this." He emphasized that this move is purely financial considerations. Jokic is currently in the third year of a super top salary contract, and if the contract renewal is renewed next year, he is expected to receive a larger contract of more than $300 million.

He also emphasized that Jokic's loyalty has never wavered: "Whether it is the change of coaches at the last minute, the turbulent lineup, the loss of core players due to luxury tax issues, or the sack of general manager Booth at the end of the season, there has never been any sign that Jokic wants to leave the team," Zach Lowe added.

Nuggets are actively operating in the trading market this offseason, and they traded with Cameron Johnson and Valanciunas, signing Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. It is reported that Jokic is satisfied with the team's reinforcement. Zach Lowe joked: "The fans of those teams who are always trapped in trading rumors always ask, 'Why is Jokic never being discussed?' The answer is simple: because he has no anxiety points at all."
