They should trade him for Markkanen.

What makes Jokic so unique? If Sabonis was in the league during his prime, he would’ve been Jokic. Jokic cannot be your best player if you’re competing for a championship.I fukks with MPJ, but you're a cotdamn fool (which we already knew) if you think he's better than Jokic right now. This constant need to marginalize one of the most unique bigs to ever play the game is bizarre, but not surprising, considering you look at the game through a distorted [box score] lens.
Only someone who views the game through statistics (like you
) would think otherwise. As proven last playoffs, he CANNOT produce a basket when you most need one, whether passing or going to get one for himself. MPJ would be the most talented player on the floor, with the skill set and athleticism to take over games when necessary.
Did you really just bring up one of the most unique players in the history of the game, and say he would've been Jokic (today), to prove that Jokic isn't unique?
Well, that's another argument, altogether; one that doesn't really have any bearing on this nonsensical talking point about MPJ being better right now.

Now, keep in mind, that was Jokic's first postseason of his career, as was the case for the team, in general. His ability to generate offense for himself and others in a half-court setting only naturally transitions over to a postseason environment, where play becomes more condensed, and that was evident with his exceptional performance in the playoffs.
You wouldn't have thought it was his first time on a postseason stage.
But regardless of that, how the fukk are you not only going to wrongly evaluate what he did in the playoffs, but use it as evidence to prop up MPJ over him right now, when not only has MPJ not played in the playoffs, but he hasn't even made his official NBA debut, as of yet.
What reality are you living in where you think your argument makes sense?

Highlights, like the box scores and stats you love, never tell the full story. You posted his game 7 LOSS highlights where he was everything BUT effective down the stretch.
edit: actually you left those out
wonder why

Now show me evidence of what MPJ did in the playoffs. Better yet, show me what MPJ has done in an official NBA game.
Corny and predictable response. You are unable extrapolate success or talent because you don’t know what it looks like without a number telling you.Now show me evidence of what MPJ did in the playoffs. Better yet, show me what MPJ has done in an official NBA game.
Malone better wise up quick. This is what? Year 3 of Denvers Championship window now? Them shyts close real quick just ask Boston. MPJ need to see the court early and often if they wanna survive this Western Conference Bloodshed. Not saying he'll lead the team in scoring this year but he could easily get you 13-15ppg off the bench if he sees consistent minutes.
I'm not asking for numbers, I'm asking for any evidence that proves your argument on MPJ being better right now.
Extrapolate success or talent?
You don't even know what the fukk you're saying at this point; merely deflecting with some generic bullshyt as padding for your nonsensical argument. It's what cats typically do when they're in the wrong, but won't admit so, so they try and cover it up with some vague talking point.
Every single point you've brought up to criticize Jokic doesn't hold any weight since MPJ hasn't proven he can do any better.
They got to give him a look soon imo. Dude hasn't played one single minute yet this season. Its obvious they're shook he's going to get injured and then miss the season.

Jerami Grant is solid. MPJ should be playing over Craig.

year one, no one considered them championship contenders last year. Malone is being stubborn right now and is copping pleas about defense when last night the team couldn’t shoot or defend.

Tread water coach? Mike Malone is an NBA coach and you're not for a reason.
I don't have much of an opinion on Mike Malone, but he was voted the best assistant coach in the NBA by his peers and Denver has improved every year under him, from 33-49 when he came to 54-28 last year. Where the fukk do you get that he's a "tread water coach"? He's been literally the exact opposite.
You were out there claiming that a rookie with injury issues who hadn't played a full game since high school ball during the Obama Administration was automatically better than Millsap, Murray, Jokic, etc. And we just don't know that. Only a casual would proclaim such certainty about shyt they know nothing about.
no one said he was better than those three players but he possibly could be in the long run and I have no problem saying at the very least he is a better shooter than Craig, Barton, and Grant.
i liken this to kobe when he was drafted was he better then Byron Scott, Eddie Jones and nick Van exel at first no he wasn’t but he needed that playing time off the bench to develop and adjust to the league.
MPJ could develop into a superstar but he gets no burn he does not grow and you could be squandering a gold mine but keeping him on the bench

all i know is Barton is supposed to be the sixth man
