The Denver Nuggets are in the spotlight as fans eagerly await Nikola Jokic's decision on his max contract extension. Vlatko Cancar, a former teammate, recently shared his thoughts on Jokic's future during an interview. Despite not playing extensively for the Nuggets, Cancar formed a strong bond with Jokic, and he believes that Jokic will remain loyal to Denver. "In my opinion, Nikola Jokic himself will never leave Denver," Cancar stated, providing reassurance to Nuggets supporters. Jokic is eligible to sign his extension as soon as the NBA Finals conclude, and the Nuggets organization is hopeful that this process will be straightforward. Jokic's affection for Denver is crucial, especially as the team navigates financial challenges, including the looming luxury tax. The Nuggets are already nearing the NBA's second-apron tax, and re-signing players like Peyton Watson could complicate their salary cap situation. Jokic has expressed concerns about the team's competitiveness, noting that they were "not close" to championship caliber following their playoff exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As Jokic approaches his player option year, the possibility of free agency looms, but his loyalty suggests he may not pursue that route. Cancar hinted that if Jokic were to leave, it might only be at the end of his career to play alongside Luka Doncic for a season. However, the immediate focus remains on securing Jokic's max extension, which could be worth up to $278 million over four years, ensuring that speculation about his future is put to rest.
