No team recruits or trades players in free agency without first consulting its star player. Even someone as soft-spoken as Nikola Jokic is involved in the Denver Nuggets’ roster changes. Nikola Jokic, according to Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports, is helping to establish the Denver Nuggets roster. Here is the whole social media message that Wind made.
“Nikola Jokic is of course involved in the Nuggets’ roster building, who Denver signs and who they don’t,” noted Wind. “Almost every franchise celebrity participates in those debates. Russell Westbrook is hardly the only person he has pushed for. He’s also advocated against players.
The entire controversy regarding Nikola Jokic being involved in the Nuggets’ roster building stemmed from claims that he called Russell Westbrook to recruit him. Normally, any team’s great player would be involved in maneuvers like these, but it’s tougher to believe in Jokic because everyone thinks he’s uninterested in basketball.
After losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and losing in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, Nuggets fans have been expecting the team to make some major moves. Instead, the team has only lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and has not improved in any significant way.
With both the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder making great additions, the Denver Nuggets have very clearly fallen behind. Even if the team acquires Russell Westbrook, they’ll still be a step behind the Mavericks and Thunder
