Jokic is eligible for renewal, up to 3 years of $212.2 million! He deserves it!

The Nuggets were eliminated, so they stopped in the second round for two consecutive years.

During this year's playoffs, as the absolute core of the Nuggets, Jokic averaged 40.2 minutes per game, scoring 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3.9 turnovers and 2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 48.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38%. Compared with the regular season, it has actually declined. During the regular season, it averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 3.3 turnovers and 1.8 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.7%.

Jokic's shooting percentage in the playoffs declined, mainly due to some misperforming performance in the second round. In front of the Thunder, which is the best in defensive efficiency in the league, under their crazy encirclement, Jokic actually shot less than 40% in three games in 7 games. However, he still averaged 28.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game, and he averaged the top scorer in the team in five statistics. Although Jokic is responsible for the Nuggets being eliminated, it cannot be said that it is all because of him. Because the Nuggets' lineup is seriously insufficient, it is not as good as the championship season. Moreover, the team's injury problem is also quite serious. In this case, they can fight the Western Conference champion Thunder for seven games. Although they eventually lost, Jokic can do this, and he can still be honored even if he loses.

In short, no matter what, Jokic's strength is unquestionable at this stage. This 30-year-old player is obviously at the peak of a basketball player. So, for the Nuggets, the most important thing now is to keep this super giant. On the second day after this year's finals, Jokic was eligible to sign a three-year super maximum salary renewal contract with the Nuggets with a maximum salary of $212.2 million! In this way, his average salary will directly set an NBA historical record, with an annual salary of terrifying $70 million! Obviously, Jokic deserves it all. Because as long as the Nuggets’ management is normal, this year’s offseason will definitely hand in the greatest sincerity and use a super maximum salary to lock Jokic’s peak period. Although there were rumors that Jokic was leaving the team some time ago, it was rumors after all, and now there is no sign of Jokic leaving the team. Antetokounmpo should empathize with this point. The Bucks, where Antetokounmpo is located, have been eliminated in the first round for three consecutive years, and he has already had the idea of ​​leaving the team. Jokic has not yet. At most, he complains during the game, or complains about the team's insufficient lineup depth after the team is eliminated, and needs to continue to strengthen the championship. So, can we now expect the Nuggets and Jokic to reach a three-year, three-year, $212.2 million early contract renewal? It is worth mentioning that when talking about the offseason planning this year, Jokic also said that he may represent the Serbian men's basketball team in the European Championships. And Jokic in the FIBA ​​are still the top super giant. In the last European Championship, he averaged 21.7 points, 10 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 66%.

And in the new season of the NBA, can the Nuggets meet Jokic's reinforcement requirements?
