Marc Stein on Jaylen Brown TRADE to Denver, Nikola Jokic NOT Signing an Extension + More
Video Overview & Insights
Marc Stein joins the show to break down the latest Denver Nuggets rumors, including the possibility of a Jaylen Brown trade to Denver and Nikola Jokic considering whether to hold off on signing a contract extension. We dive into what Jokicâs decision could mean for the Nuggetsâ future, how much pressure it puts on Denverâs front office, and whether Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson or other key pieces could be involved in a major NBA trade. Plus, we discuss how the Nuggets can retool around Nikola Jokic, what Denverâs path back to NBA championship contention looks like, and why this offseason could define the next era of Nuggets basketball.
How about Joker for Brown plus picks. Denver ain't winning with the current team and they need a rebuild. Murray isn't going to win anything, they could trade him too.

If Jokic is gone, Denver Nuggets is nothing. Think about it.

Whatever happens, you cannot afford to just leave as a free agent and getting nothing like Dikembe Mutombo. If there is any chance, you need to trade him.

"The foremost Nuggets expert in my life, sorry D-Line..."
@karlisaacjohnson598619 to 23 million isnt that much money. Pretty sure that buys him his own city in serbia. Thats alot of momey even for a basketball player.
@stephenhoffman2007If the Kronkies can't get JOKIC the help he needs then I rather see JOKIC retire
@DuaneMondragonJamal was a better player than brown this season. In a harder conference. He had a down series where we had much less size than the other team and less bodies. Jamal isn't the problem. One of the greatest shooting seasons we have ever seen last season. We need Jamal and jokic together. With defence and size
@jamieabg7194Jokic is ready to return to Europe, considering that no one understands his personality profile enough by reading between the lines. One wrong move by the management, and goodbye. Damn money, Jokic wants to enjoy basketball and players capable of real fun.
@BogdanKnezevic-l5nThis guys doesnât seem on top of it.
@theinvisibleman-j2lFree Jokic. The Nuggets front office is đď¸
@gmoneymac23Murray J, Johnson Cam Nuggets, for Sam Houser and J.Brown Celtics
@sasajelisavac5209Apparently Boston doesnât want Murray theyâd rather have picks in tatums prime
@zenecawll5677Murray gone you can keep Cam the only guy other then Jokic that showed up i game 6.
@140acresretired7Murray has to go. I like him gone and take that money and get a few good players. Defensive players GM's. Be nice to send AG to. Like him a lot but just don't see him getting right. Your trade value for those 2 guys will never be higher. Could get a lot lower.
@140acresretired7...or he could just retire after the current deal. Thus "Nuggets forever..." Why do these guys refuse to acknowledge this is also a possibility.
@deadmeat1240I donât think Jokic is a liar, he has said multiple times he will be a nuggets forever, heâs very rich and can do the Steph thing and sign the 2-3 years of insane money to close his career out here. He will get his money. Hopefully owners donât take him for granted
@HookEmNuggetsI do wonder if Jokic would take less money to field a better team. He has to know that Denver has very few options to execute.
@tomselek1000Doesnât marc have an updated photo for you
@AnxiousButOptimisticJokic ain't an American politician , he is neither American or politician , so when he says multiple times I like it in Denver I hope I will end my career here, I don't want to move I don't think about moving and even when asked about Luka he said Luka can come, so the guy has one more year and player option he chooses to sign next year because that's 20mil more and if he signed previous year that would be 20mil more ao he would lose 40mil just for rushing to sign which owners hope he will do because for the guys with billions 40mil is unacceptable to spend if they can avoid but players are pressured to do that. If Kronke has such a fear they can approach Nikola and say Listen Jonny ( common nickname for Nikola's in Serbia because there's a lot of Nikola's) we hear you want to sign next year new supermax because it will gane you 20mil more but for our safety we would love to sign you now and we will give you another contract for 30mil to be mannequin of our sport empire KSE , we give you that deal you go to studio for one day makes photo and than you sign extension, I'm 100% Jokic would say OK boss.
How will this end in reality I don't know but whether he sign extension or new deal when they offer him next extension in 2-3 years he will sign immediately but maybe Kroenke won't do that and we know that Jokic changed attitude from 10 years ago when he said he want to retire early now he want to play till he can play on this level and with his style the only thing he needs to care are lb or kg , 2025/26 he played some of the best basketball but he was little bit heavy and caring extra weight is easier when young so to keep speed ( his speed he should lose 20lb or 10kg which is also good for preventing the injuries and guys who think he will lose strength has no idea what they are talking about 265lb 32 year old Jokic is much stronger than 265lb 22 year Jokic , probably stronger than even 285lb 22 year old Jok
Nuggets have a flaw in that they have a key player which is Jamal Murray. The whole house of cards depends on his flare. That flaw should not be fixed by bringing another key player instead of Jamal. It should be fixed by changing the system by bringing the RIGHT player instead of Murray. It could be J.Brown who when attack does not click, he could still play great defense. When Murray is down, he is nowhere to be found.
@SvenStpYou guys are absolutley brain dead and know nothing about Nikola Jokic, he's not about the money he's about winning and getting reliable players on his team
@JET197019]20mil $ is not much money??? In what universe, family of 5 can travel and live their bast life with 20mil not just 5-6 years but 50-60 USA isn't the whole world it's actually one of the most expensive parts of the world. I'm glad Joikic didn't lost perspective and knows how 10mil is huge amount of money let alone 20, he's small basketball club can live several years with that money or he can buy some horses, 20mil of someone else money ain't that much but funny how OWNERS BILLIONAIRES doesn't think that way and they don't want enter 2nd apron like it's hate of hell while in fact it's just about them paying more
@vladimircurkoski1455I want Jokic to be Nugget forever if that's his wish I personally want him to play as long as possible and make as much money as he can
@vladimircurkoski1455Weâve just seen Jalen Brunson take a pay cut last season (won a title) now..D. Green is following suit in attempt to get LeBron, A. Davis for a âBig 4â Denver needs to follow suit..UGH!!
