Nikola Jokić tells the Nuggets he won't sign an extension this summer. As @johnhollinger pointed out recently, Jokić is eligible for a three-year, $206 million extension now but can get a four-year extension next summer if he waits. His current contract runs through the 2027-28 season, with a player option in the final year worth $62.8 million. Yet as a team source confirmed, Jokić has informed Nuggets officials that he will, indeed, decline their offer this offseason and revisit the matter a year from now, writes @sam_amick. nytimes.com/athletic/live-bl…

We’re a few days into NBA free agency, and aside from the annual drawn-out saga of restricted free agents, we’re basically done. Sadly, we must conclude that it’s a February league now, writes @johnhollinger. Winners and losers from the first days ⤵️
