Jokic is way more valuable to his team than Embiid, Who does Embiid make better?
Jokic has the worst supporting cast in the NBA. I’m watching them now and they missed 6 layups in 2 minutes. Without Jokic they’d be the literal worst team in the NBA and with him they’re the 6 seed.
The Nuggets have one of the best offences in the league despite no Murray and no Porter Jr., which is insane. Jokic is incredible.
I was thinking about this the other day. Has Nikola Jokic earned more money for the meh players playing around him than anyone other than maybe Lebron James?
Think about the contracts that Barton, Harris, Beasley, Morris, Porter Jr., and Murray have gotten.
If i was a player in the NBA trying to land more than 1-2 year minimum deals and the Nuggets called, I'd agree immediately after they introduced themselves. I would then get in the best shape of my life and never stop sprinting at full speed on offense, waiting for Jokic to give me easy looks and boost my numbers.
