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.
With Jonas they get more deeper inside protection and offensive advantage, both him and Jokic can shoot outside with them together inside the court plus the hardwork coming from Aaron Gordon that's really something fans can expect, they are a good contender for this season, it's a matter of how they will blend and established good chemistries since they've got a new coach and new players that will be playing with the core key players it interesting to see if how they'll going to run their system.
