210 million yuan in maximum salary in 3 years, say goodbye to the championship! As the first person in the league, it’s time for you to leave

This season, the NBA has reached the finals stage, and the Pacers and the Thunder tied 2-2 in the first four games. There is a lot of controversy about the issue of call, but in the words of US media, playing one more game in the finals is equivalent to an increase of $100 million in the league's revenue, and no one can refuse. The other 28 teams that have ended this season are preparing for next season. The Grizzlies sent Bain, the third leader of the team, to the Magic, in exchange for 4 first-round picks + 1 first-round swap + 2 instant powers Pop and Anthony, making a lot of money. The Suns fell into self-provement troubles in Durant's trade: Durant's age and injuries caused his market conditions to be bad, but the Suns had no other way. They just wanted to recover more returns and their attitude became increasingly tough.

even broke up with Durant. In the words of the reporters with the team, the Suns may not care where Durant wants to go, but where he can get more chips. In addition, many teams are ready to move. The Lakers are preparing to look for center and blue-collar workers around Doncic. The Warriors are planning to sign first and then exchange to continue to strengthen the lineup. They have no other direction and can only hope that Curry and Butler can stay healthy next season and fight again. The Rockets and Spurs are also looking for stars. They are not short of first-round picks and are all ready to start gradually realizing their talents. But as the top giant team in the West in the past few years, the Nuggets have no news of strengthening. On the contrary, Westbrook, the team's only substitute, also took the initiative to reject the player option and was likely to leave!

Nuggets have achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses this season. In 29 days of the playoffs, they played two tiebreak series. They eliminated the Clippers 4-3 in the first round and lost to the Thunder 3-4 in the second round, and were unfortunately eliminated! At the season summary meeting, Jokic made it clear that we must find ways to improve the depth of the lineup. Teams with longer rotations and more bench players have been winning all the time. Just look at the Pacers and the Thunder! Of course, this is not the first time Jokic complained this season. As early as the regular season stage, Jokic was dissatisfied with the team. In many games, he tried his best to win, such as playing the Timberwolves scored 61 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Wizards, who were at the bottom of the league, scored 56 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists. The teammates around him were too unreliable.

In ESPN's words, the Nuggets must find ways to meet Jokic's requirements for the team and cannot continue to squander the league's first player's peak career. As a three-time MVP winner, Jokic also led the team to win the championship in 23 years, including averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game this season, achieving a historical god-level record of a triple-double per game. Regarding the MVP battle this season, he lost to Alexander because of the aesthetic fatigue of the outside world. But from high-level data to irreplaceable values, including season PER values, he is still the first in the league. From scoring to organization to defense, he is still the best-selling first-person level in the league. However, the Nuggets were blocked by the Timberwolves last year and were eliminated by the Thunder this season. To put it bluntly, no one was available on the bench! Can management change the dilemma? Next season, Jokic will earn $55.22 million in salary, and will be expected to renew his contract for 210 million in advance this summer. The Nuggets have already prepared their contract; but in addition to Jokic, Murray will earn 50.42 million + Porter Jr. 38.33 million + Gordon 22.84 million, and the starting four players will earn 167 million. In addition, Brian, who is gradually gaining a stable starting position, is also facing pressure to renew his contract, with the market trend being around 20 million to 25 million! According to the analysis of salary experts, the Nuggets can strengthen in three ways. The first is internal selection, giving young Pickett, Strauser and others more time, but it is obvious that their growth limit is not high. Secondly, the Nuggets have only one left to trade the first round of picks (2031 or 2032), and Porter Jr. is the only tangible trading asset.

According to the analysis of US media, if the Nuggets package Porter Jr. + the first round pick to strengthen, the market situation will not be so optimistic, and Porter Jr. will also be troubled by injuries. If Najib and Saric have a contract, it will trigger the first rich line! In the free agent market, they only have the exception of the veteran’s basic salary! Of course, Westbrook has the possibility of returning to the Nuggets, but the probability is very low. After all, Westbrook has become the "initiator" of the Nuggets firing coach Malone this season. Westbrook also occupies the time and opportunities of young people. The Nuggets only have 5.7 million exceptions, so we can find the basic salary of two veterans! To put it bluntly, because Murray starts to execute a super maximum salary of 212 million in four years next season, the Nuggets have no room for operation to strengthen!

Sending Murray or Porter away is a reversal act and does not belong to the category of reinforcement! It is undeniable that as long as the Nuggets start to stay healthy next season, they will still be able to sit firmly in the top four of the regular season Western Conference and at least the second round of the playoffs, but because they lack sufficient lineup depth, the team's lower limit is equal to the team's upper limit! There is no doubt that this is continuing to waste Jokic's career, the key is that the team cannot change the status quo. Jokic has always been a super giant with a strong desire for victory or defeat. To be honest, he really should consider leaving the team at this stage.
