Nuggets are NOT pursuing GTJr. Nuggets are NOT pursuing ANYONE aside from old-man Westbrick on a vet min (hoping that will appease the fanbase and kill the noise). Thing is - Nuggets are a pathetically and transparently CHEAP organization. Their GM is right now (in the midst of the FA) in Europe. Throwing dust in Nuggets' fans eyes. Supposedly - To retain Cancar (like he/nuggets/anyone wants it), to get someone called "Saric" (like ANYONE thinks that's a thing to do), and MOSTLY and primarily to CALM DOWN Jokic and Raznjatovic who are FURIOUS about Nuggets BS, promises and lies for 2 (and more) years now. Also, there's that little thing too - Kroenkes are in the talks about selling Nuggets - very few people got the wind of it (you heard it here first) - and dollars and cents right now (the costs, commitments, liabilities) are the MAIN and the ONLY concern for Kroenkes. They're hoping to make a killing on the sale (I hope just the opposite) - and they're "managing" to that. Well, I know Raznjatovic is AWARE of it - consequently Jokic is too. And I'm expecting a bombshell news in the next week or two reading "Nikola Jokic is demanding to be traded out of Denver Nuggets". There are hundreds of millions of dollars at stake here, and Kroenkes are dead-set to capitalize. I hope my boy Nikola f*cks-up their plan and exposes them. Just for the f*ck of it.
