He's been out 2 weeks with a sprained ankle. Neto has been out too. And Rubio, but Rubio is finally back.
Its a shame. Exum was looking nice before he went out.
I didn't know NBA teams hold their rights forever. Kinda weird they could possibly trade a 40 yr old european who has been retired since 2014. Except the NBA rejects those trades.
Coach K would most likely do really well in the NBA. But he just loves the NCAA. He loves the development and teaching skills. He loves the off-court stuff too. I don't think he'll ever jump up to the NBA.
That would be amazing but he is wayyyyy too pricey for the Jazz.
And I still think Denver will retire Melo's jersey one day. He was there for almost 10 seasons.
If Jokic ends up changing his jersey number i'm gonna laugh so hard. A lot of guys in the NBA aren't that attached to their...
I mean one is a trade, one is a retirement. And Jokic is a star.
I just don't see it being an issue. Melo won't have his jersey retired for quite a while since he still thinks he's a star. And at that time they'll figure out if they want to let jokic keep wearing it or ask if he'd be ok...
Yeah I think, they will retire both. But maybe they'll do the Nuggets one a long time after he retires. I just see them, the Nuggets, honoring him eventually. Maybe they'll get permission to have Jokic keep wearing 15 at that time who knows.
Usually happens after trades. Like a veteran comes in and a younger player has to give up the number. (AI getting traded to Philly, Iggy changing his number). It'd be interesting to see if anyone as good as Jokic ever had to change their number though.
I feel Jokic would be fine changing it...
