Denver Nuggets Fire Nikola Jokic
Jokic becomes a free agent as the regular season comes to a close.
After an eventful Tuesday saw the Denver Nuggets fire both their head coach, Michael Malone, and their general manager, Calvin Booth, the Nuggets have now announced they are firing their superstar center, Nikola Jokic.
That’s right - just straight released him.
After Denver fired their general manager on Tuesday, they replaced him with an interim GM, Merv Conk, a senile, 87 year-old man who technically has the most experience under his belt due to how long he’s lived on this Earth.
Sources say Conk’s first order of business was to get rid of Jokic, stating the team “needs a reset like [he] needs Little Richard tickets - so fucking bad.”
While Jokic has been awarded league MVP three times in the past five years, Conk made it clear to those within the Nuggets organization that he “doesn’t trust European players,” and that by keeping Jokic, they were “wasting away DeAndre Jordan’s career.”
In fact, on multiple occasions over the past few years, members within the organization have heard Conk say, “We need to play DeAndre Jordan like I need Fats Domino tickets - so fucking bad,” usually followed by, “Remember ‘Dunk City’? He’s good!!”
Nikola Jokic now becomes the most coveted free agent in the league, and the favorites to sign him?
You guessed it: the Los Angeles Lakers.
By signing Jokic, the Lakers will finally get their center and a replacement for Anthony Davis.
