Oh I thought that Jonas Valanciunas is going to play in Europe as earlier there were reports that a Greek team has offered him a good contract, more than the Nuggets have offered to him. But it looks like his is going to honor the deal with the Nuggets so we will see him as the back up center for Jokic now. As for MPJ, yeah, it seems that they will not missed him as they have a replacement that has a similar playing style of him, Cam Johnson, with added bonus, as he can play defense as well. So in paper it looks like the Nuggets might go and run for another ring this season. And before we forget, they don't have their old coach so it's like a total reset for them in the upcoming year.

Yes, he will. At first he told the media about the deal with his country but then he committed to play for the Nuggets. It's not the deal but I heard a rumor that he talked to Jokic but we will not know what they discussed.
It's probably about the deal and maybe a championship promise if they will play together. I can see that happening. Two good centers. The under the rim protection will be kept and Jonas can also shoot and score. The Nuggets will be a big problem this year.

Yes, in the court they battle, but outside of basketball, this guy might be friends as we all know Jokic is funny. So maybe he talk Jonas not to join and test it out with his team at Nuggets. And yes, he needed a back up center and Jonas is a perfect fit.

That's for sure, they will be a big problem, while other teams try to play small ball, the Nuggets are going to the old and traditional way of having one great center and then have a backup that can only play like Jonas.

But still the problem in the West is the defending champion, very young and the core is still intact and some of them might not yet in their primes. So it's scary how the Thunder will be this season.
