Secretly happy! Jokic is satisfied with the Nuggets operation, Brown returns + Johnson joins, the Western Conference pattern changes again
According to the latest news from ESPN famous reporter Brian Windhorst, Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is "very satisfied with the team's reinforcement operations this summer. Although the two-time MVP has not made any public statements, internal news revealed that he highly praised the management's series of actions.
The most exciting signing for the Nuggets this summer is undoubtedly to welcome Bruce Brown, the hero who won the 2023 championship, returned to Denver with a basic salary contract. Brown once played a key role in the Finals, averaging 11.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, and became one of Jokic's most trusted partners for his all-round defense and "speculative" ability. His return not only improved the team's bench depth, but also brought the Nuggets' defensive system back to its peak level.
In addition, the Nuggets also signed Tim Hardaway Jr. The 33-year-old veteran scorer averaged 11 points per game last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%, which can maximize the threat of open shooting with Jokic's support.
The most decisive operation of the Nuggets management this summer is to exchange Michael Porter Jr. + the 2032 first round pick from the Nets for Cameron Johnson. This deal not only saved the Nuggets $40 million in salary, but also allowed the team to obtain more stable outside firepower:
Johnson averaged 18.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.4%
The defensive performance far surpassed Porter Little, which can effectively improve the Nuggets' wing defense hardness.
Although there are hidden dangers in Johnson's attendance, the Nuggets believe that under reasonable rotation arrangements, he can become the perfect puzzle around Jokic.
Nuggets previously obtained Jonas Valanciunas through a trade, hoping that he would serve as Jokic's substitute. However, Valan recently expressed his sudden desire to return to the European League, which led to the deadlock in the deal. The NBA League has made it clear that unless the parties reach a buyout agreement, Valan must perform the contract. If he eventually stays in the team, the Nuggets' inside depth will be qualitatively improved; if he leaves the team, the management needs to find an alternative.
Last season, Jokic once again proved that he was the most dominant player in the league with a terrifying data of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. Now, with the joining of strong players such as Brown and Johnson, the Nuggets' lineup depth has been significantly enhanced, and the starting five tigers + substitute firepower has reached the championship level.
Windhorst revealed: "Jokic cares about every detail, he cares about winning. The Nuggets are giving him everything he needs. ". If Valan eventually stays in the team, this new Nuggets will likely become one of the biggest favorites to win the Western Conference next season.
The West will usher in a big melee in the new season.
