Doncic is in front and Jokic is in the back? The Nuggets president reveals his intention to demolish the team, and the super giant is no longer safe now

Since the Mavericks traded Doncic in February this year, this operation can be called an "epoch-making" deal, which basically means that all players in the league know that no one cannot be traded. Recently, Nuggets President Kroenke Jr. also made shocking remarks at a press conference, talking about the situation about the team's core Jokic.
Kroenke said that the team will offer Jokic renewal contract in the offseason, but he also admitted that Jokic may not accept it. The team will discuss various options with Jokic's team to see which situation is most beneficial to him. Jokic's existing contract will not expire until the end of the 27-28 season. This summer, he is eligible to sign a three-year, 212 million-dollar contract with the team. In fact, a small-scale team like the Nuggets have had such an incredible operation in the past 24-25 season. As the regular season approached the end, they fired Mike Malone, who had led them to the first championship in team history without warning, and then fired General Manager Booth.
Although the Nuggets have not been able to enter the Finals again in recent seasons, their lower limit can be guaranteed with Jokic (entering the playoffs, or even becoming a regular visitor in the Western Conference Final Four). If the Nuggets really want to send away the team's core cornerstone, it is no exaggeration to say that they may quickly fall from previous regulars in the playoffs to become the bottom team in the Western Conference. However, from another perspective, the reason why Kroenke dared to say such things may be that he did not want to continue to spend money on the team. After all, after winning the championship, the Nuggets sent away all the important players who could play (Pope, Jeff Green, and Bruce Brown).
The teams that normally want to defend the title are well aware of the importance of maintaining the stability of the lineup. As a result, the Nuggets not only did not continue to strengthen the company based on the reasons, but instead started a clearance sale. In the past season, the team played 6-7 people in the playoffs, and Porter, Murray, and Gordon all fought with injuries. But directly quitting an excellent coach like Malone at the end of the regular season is like looking for the scapegoat.
With the Thunder winning the championship this year, different teams in the NBA have won the championship for seven consecutive years, which is the first time in history. These 7 teams are the Thunder, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors, Bucks, Lakers, and Raptors. Aside from the Celtics, Lakers and Warriors, the other four teams are famous small ball markets in the league. The Celtics, who can be regarded as larger teams, have all started to break down the team recently and sent off Holler one after another. Di and Porzingis, so other small-scale teams may really consider sending away their stars when they have no choice but to avoid paying high luxury taxes. After all, they have won the championship, and there is actually no need to compete for the championship again when the capital chain is already tight. For a team like the Nuggets that have been clearly "breaking the can" in the past two years, if they really trade the core Jokic in the future, don't be surprised.
