Nikola Jokic can hit free agency next summer, and a CBS Sports column argues Denver's quiet offseason has done little to make him want to stay, even if he most likely does.
A trade idea built with the FanSpo tool would send Nikola Jokic from Denver to Boston for Paul George and four first-round picks. The package includes Boston's 2027 and 2033 firsts plus San Antonio's and Philadelphia's pick rights tied to earlier deals.
League sources expect Nikola Jokic to re-sign with Denver rather than test free agency, per Yahoo Sports' Kevin O'Connor. He'd likely wait until next summer to sign a five-year, $360 million extension, the richest deal in league history, after twice passing on earlier extensions.
The Ringer's Zach Lowe said the Clippers had been quietly positioning for a run at Nikola Jokic if he ever left Denver in 2027 free agency, but called that dead after the NBA stripped Los Angeles of five first-round picks over its Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention case.
