Completely burned out! No salary space and no draft picks! If you want to win the championship, you only have one way to trade and change teams?

Perhaps in a month, people will look back and say that the Nuggets are really strong, they are the closest team to defeating the Thunder.

Thunder finally showed off their killer moves in the last game. Caruso, who has entered the best defensive lineup for two consecutive years, is the main defender. He uses all kinds of ways to prevent Jokic from receiving the ball comfortably. Jaylen Williams is eyeing him and grabbing the ball at any time.

Jokic's helplessness can be seen with the naked eye. Many times, the ball has been snatched away by the opponent before he has received the ball to complete an easy counterattack. His and Murray's signature pick-and-roll defense against the Thunder was completely invalid, and the Nuggets were completely strangled to death.

The Nuggets tried their best. After seven games against the Clippers, they once forced the Thunder into a desperate situation. In the end, almost everyone was injured, and it was really burned out.

Although they failed to become the final winner, they could leave the stadium with their heads raised and start their holidays with a clear conscience. In his seventh playoff career, Jokic only made 9 moves in the 16-round series, and the Nuggets lost a crushing defeat and got out of the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive years.

If it was LeBron James, the public opinion at this time would probably be overwhelming ridicule and criticism.

But fortunately, this is Jokic, and no one will blame Jokic.

Average of 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in the playoffs. Jokic's performance is worthy of being the first in the world and has done everything he can do.

However, the facts once again prove that basketball is a sport of five people. No matter how strong an individual is, he cannot defeat five. This is true for Jokodenzanku, and so for Jokic.

Even the Nuggets in the past two seasons have proved that basketball is not just a sport of five people, and a perfect starting lineup alone is not enough.

The year when the Nuggets won the championship, not only did the starting five tigers have a complete chemical reaction, but there were also key players such as Bruce Brown, Jeff Green and Braun who could change the trend of the game. After the tiebreak, when talking about the team's lineup depth, Jokic said without hesitation that the team needs a deeper lineup. He bluntly stated that teams with longer rotations and deeper benches, such as the Pacers, Thunder and Timberwolves, who have longer rotations and deeper benches, are winning the game.

Although the Knicks and Thibodeau do not agree with him, the Nuggets do need more players who can play in the playoff level.

Since the playoffs, the four Nuggets' main players have ranked in the top four in the league's playoffs. Porter Jr., who played with injuries, is also ranked ninth. The other five in the top ten are New York Five Niu and Horse from Thibodeau Farm!

Of course, even if Jokic speaks publicly, the sequelae of winning the championship and the more stringent new labor-capital agreement make it difficult for the Nuggets to effectively improve the lineup.

In particular, Murray's four-year, $208 million maximum salary contract will be executed from next season, and his annual salary will soar from the 30 million level to 50 million US dollars.

Next season, the total annual salary of Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr. and Gordon will exceed the salary cap. Coupled with the total garbage contract of Najib and Salic, the Nuggets have almost no room for operation.

They can only trade with one first-round pick and one second-round pick. There is no draft pick to choose a new player this year. I hope that the probability of losing the draft Taobao strengthening is not much the same as buying a lottery ticket.

Westbrook has a player option this offseason. If he chooses to leave, the Nuggets will face a more serious substitute shortage.

Indeed, Westbrook was not doing well in the series against the Thunder, but without him, the Nuggets could not even make it to the second round.

Westbrook is almost one of the few players in the Nuggets who can bring surprises beyond tactics. Although he sometimes keeps changing the limit between the angels and the devil, who else can the Nuggets rely on without him?

Subjectively predicted that Westbrook will most likely stay in Denver, at least he can still enjoy respect here. The sounds that squirted him are probably from the Los Angeles area, and he knew this clearly.

Nuggets next season may also face serious injury problems.

Gordon dragged his leg with a second-degree hamstring strain and forced his game to tiebreak. Next season, he is likely to pay the price of being out for a long time.

Potter Jr. injured his shoulder in the first round, and did not rest in the second round. He will probably have to play and stop next season to recover.

He played very badly in this series, outrageously, but like Gordon, he fought like a warrior until the last moment.

Although he is so strong that he can't be more powerful, he will be threatened when standing on the court. If he doesn't play, Watson will play 30 minutes a game, and he will probably be even more devastating when he asks the teacher.

What will happen in the future? Jokic, who is extremely tired, has at least no mind to consider it. After the tiebreaker, he said that he will most likely drink a lot of beer in the next few days and relax.

Then, return to Serbia and enjoy the holiday in your own stable.

As for the future, what if he doesn't matter!

Some fans suggested that he apply for a trade to change teams for the championship. Jokic is likely to have no such ambition. He does not have the obsession of LeBron James that he must prove himself with the championship. The priority of winning the championship is not that high.

What other Nuggets are wasting Jokic's peak statement? He may sneer at it. When you use the word waste, you are no longer talking about basketball.

Jokic just hates losing, and not wanting to lose is probably the biggest motivation to support him in the NBA.

However, no one can win all the time. As long as you try your best when you are on the court, you don’t need to regret it after losing.

Whoever likes to sit on the throne of this first person, it would be right if I don’t have my saddle.
