"I mean, I don't think about it. I think those contract extensions come as a reward, as something that is natural to the sport. Especially in today's NBA how you see how the salary cap is growing and everything."
"My plan is to be a Nugget forever."
"I mean, they definitely changed the team."
The Denver Nuggets bolstered their roster with veterans Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr., and acquired Jonas Valanciunas to back up and occasionally play alongside Nikola Jokic. The Michael Porter Jr. trade created salary-cap flexibility and brought back 2024 first-round pick DaRon Holmes, who is returning from a torn Achilles. Jokic bypassed a four-year, $212 million extension this summer to remain eligible for a four-year, $293 million extension in 2026, citing growing salary-cap dynamics. Jokic is entering the third year of a five-year, $276 million supermax and stated a long-term commitment to the franchise. Front office changes included replacing Calvin Booth with Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace and removing the interim tag from coach David Adelman.
