Ben Tenzer

He has previously said he wants to be a nugget for life.

Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Ben Tenzer told reporters that the team has no concerns about Jokic's long-term future in Denver.

Waiting to sign a deal would allow Jokic to maximize his earnings there in Denver.

So the question is, Should NBA players, should pro players take it personally when fans show their displeasure by booing them?

Yeah, I think they would tell you they don't have a training room problem, but at the same time, they made some changes in that training room.

They did? Yeah, very underreported, not talked about, but one of the big things of training camp, and you can go back and find this quote on media day, but David Adelman tipped his hand, and so did Jonathan Wallace and Ben Tenzer, and they hinted at some personnel changes that happened.

I have talked to some people.

Some of those changes were additions in their training room, So changes and additions, I'll put it that way.

In May, he said, I still want to be a Denver Nugget forever.

The Nuggets' Ben Tenzer said the team has no concerns and Money gives you the reason he's waiting.

Yahoo reports that waiting until just before the option would make a five-year deal worth about $360 million possible.

So what's the story? I'd say it's not a story of doubt.

Trevon Brazil is like that could potentially be the fourth iteration of that kind of skywalking four that helped to unlock Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, helped to unlock Jameer Nelson, Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, and then also helped to unlock Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Cam Johnson, Michael Porter Jr., and the likes of Aaron Gordon.

And I think for Denver, they went into the draft via John Wallace and Ben Tenzer, understanding that, like, at Arkansas, there's a very real world where he should have been a first-round pick.

And the fact that they got him where they got him and they were able to get him and he fell to that spot, that was a stroke of luck for them in a way that they haven't had a lot of luck with some of their draft and developments as of late outside of Peyton Watson and Christian Brown, obviously.

But I think that there's so much that we saw from his game that I think I really want to make sure we're paying attention to because he made a pop-out three in this game as well.
