While Nikola Jokic’s future appears secure, the Denver Nuggets could see adjustments across the roster as they try to improve.
Financial limitations and performance concerns are expected to drive discussions about potential moves this offseason.
“This is a team that has a lot of questions now going into the offseason,” said Shams Charania on Stephen A. Smith’s radio show on Friday.
“I will tell you, the Denver Nuggets, from their top brass on down to that organization, they believe Nikola Jokic at his word. He wants to be there.
“This is not a situation where he’s talking about potentially leaving, or looking elsewhere. Or saying ‘Hey, I need you guys to do this. I need you guys to do that.’
“He’s very, very internally and externally ‘I’m here, no matter what, I’m re-signing.’
“And so that’s the approach. But there are going to be changes in Denver. I don’t know how much, but there’s going to be some level of change.
“Whether that’s tinkering a couple players around … But they are so strapped financially moving forward in whether it’s the tax, whether it’s approaching the aprons, that there’s going to be a lot of conversations about players on this roster.”
