Nikola Jokic and Giannis has long been an ideal pairing and thus summer, Giannis is firmly on the trade market.

  4. And whta we need Giannis for? Another star in his last years with injury pron body….trade Jamal, AG, Cardio Braun. Keep PWAT and Cam. Look for young athletics players

  6. NBA needs to legalize steroids just like it always was pre 2010 era. 90% less injuries 90% faster recovery time. I mean look at Labron now days hes rarely injured with doing minimum NBA undetectable juice. Image how great everyone would be now days if they was juiced like MJ and everyone else in the MJ era. Grandfather era of steroids, health and greatness in all sports.

  8. I hope PWats goes to Lakers. Hell be great there and much better then in bum trash Nuggets system. Only Jokic sticks around this crap organization, but thats only because hes getting max paid and knowing hes not gonna get that kinds money anywhere else. Good for him on that side of things. F..k kroenkes.

  10. Thinking Hartenstein is the only one who can pull on Wemby's jersey is sad, Hart is a bum. If refs actually called the game he would foul out in 5 minutes when he guards Wemby. Harrison is so desperate he actually said Hartenstein shut down Wemby. This might be the last time I watch these clowns. You need a serious reality check.

  11. No one cares about you, Peyton Watson. Just letting you know. Also, if Jokic makes a call to Giannis, you can consider him a Nugget. When Jokic calls someone, it's an ultimate privilege. That is how much players in this league respect him. Besides, Jokić doesn't call anyone, which would carry even more weight.

  12. I mean, yes, it would be awesome. You would have a rim protector and an incredible athlete, two things Denver is missing when AG is injured. If you could keep Watson, you’d still have some 3-point shooting.

    Then you’ve got CB, PW, Giannis, and Joker… but who’s the point guard? What does the bench look like?

    I wouldn’t worry too much about playmaking with Joker and Watson on the court, but you’d probably still need a solid, athletic, quick ball handler, someone like Ja Morant or Fox… I don’t know if anyone like that is available, or if there’s even any money left after acquiring Giannis.

    Probably, Jokic + Giannis would be a weapon against the Wolves and Spurs, but I’m not so sure they could stop OKC’s perimeter dominance…

  16. Yes Knicks went on an amazing offensive run (hitting nearly everything), but it was also a complete gag by Cavs of missed FTs, way too late Timeout to stop run from up 17 to up 5 instead of once they cut it to 8/10 having Harden on Brunson nearly the whole time, and zero offensive sets.

    93-71 to 101-101 at end of 4th in 7:50 is inexcusable. I also just hate the Knicks as Pacers diehard of 40 years and want anyone besides them to win it all of the final 4.😅

    It also brings me back to our amazing comebacks in 2025 run in what should have been our first NBA title!😢😭🤬😅
