So is it safe to say Calvin Booth has wasted Nikola Jokic Prime?

1 ring is enough. How many titles is non traditional teams supposed to win?

Man I felt bad for jokic in this wiz game tonite
Breh had 20 something pts in the 3rd
Go to the bench to get a much needed rest after carrying them in the 3rd
Then the 4th started and a close game turns into double digits

U just listed his accomplishments

Jokic has been the best player in the world for like 4-5 years now and they’ve only been competitive one time. He’s never even had an all star teammate

Of course not. He play's in fukking Denver. Best they can do is trade for the Aaron Gordons of the world.

The Spurs won five with Duncan; The Warriors won four with Steph (and they were NOT a traditional team until Curry made them one).

I guess Joker needs more help.

THIS IS CAP.

MURRAY PLAYED CRAZY
IN THOSE PLAYOFFS
WHICH IS WHY THEY WON.

AS YOU CAN SEE IF JOKIC
IS THE ONLY ONE PLAYING CRAZY
THEY ARENT WINNING shyt



​

Murray is Jordan Poole. Hell he might be Jordan Poole’s
Son at this point

Dude did play his ass off in those playoffs…but right now that is looking like a flash in a pan .

Jokic being out there covered that fact up until now when its glaringly obvious

Jokic don’t need Murray to play crazy …he need Murray not to be Canadian Anfernee Simons

I hate to attack another Black man but when your superstar has to drop 56/15/8 and still lose to the Wizards there’s something tragic about it.

I like Jokic (I think his fan base are the worst) but Denver has an offensive juggernaut a top ten center of all time and legitimately have no chance of winning a championship.

What a dumb way to start Dialogue. But...

Murray overrated Trash.
MPJ overrated Trash.

The problem is they both have max deals and Nobody wants them, they've underperformed.This is supposed to be a big three.

Booth is a bad GM who wanted to look like he was the main reason why Nuggets succeeded a year ago. He wants Denver to give his drafted rookies more minutes, to make it look like he knows what he's drafting.

Anyway, some of you are acting like this is a first case of a superstar wasting their prime years lol.

Wilt Chamberlain was outnumbered by Celtics for the majority of his career
Kobe wasted couple of his peak years with Lakers when he had to carry bum ass Kwame and Smush Parker
Bron wasted some of his prime years in Cleveland before he went to Miami
Look how many years KG wasted in Minnesota

And so on and so on.

Be happy there is a parity and you don't see another case of Kobe and Shaq Lakers or Golden State with KD, where those teams were dominating their competition.

They need to trade Porter

Going to be difficult to trade Porter when you need his offense due to Murray being washed.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

The Spurs won five with Duncan; The Warriors won four with Steph (and they were NOT a traditional team until Curry made them one).

Those teams were the exception and not the norm.

 

[triplehate]

The Spurs won five with Duncan; The Warriors won four with Steph (and they were NOT a traditional team until Curry made them one).

So that's the new expectation going forward, at least 4 rings from a non traditional team.

For a second nikkas was trying to big up Murray to slight Jokic ..

We need to put more respect on that ring . .. Jokic covered up
A lot of mid


He carried em to 100 million dollar deals

Which was wild since we literally witnessed Jokic average a 30/14/10 triple double in that championship run.

Murray played great as a #2 but i said several times last year while ppl were still gassed on DEN that, certainly still a contender but Jokic was gonna have a hard time stacking rings like Shaq bc you typically need a superteam or at least another superstar for that... and to me it was spotty whether Murray (already injury prone) could continue being this top 10 performer based on two playoff runs (3-years apart) that never translated to him making the "leap" during the reg season.

And of course last year we saw his playoff numbers plummet be more in line with his regular season numbers. Now we have to see if this current Jamal at 27 is the new norm.
