The guy that we gave four years max to over the offseason and he's just not playing like that? That should be your creator when Jokic sits. We shouldn't have to go out and get Zach Levine who's just going to cause more problems.

See, and that's why I like the buy low of someone like a Clarkson or even, frankly, a Jordan Poole.

Because if you're saying that Jokic has such an effect on other guys, like getting a guy with clear talent and maybe providing some structure like Poole, like could we bring out the best version of him, the Golden State from three years ago where he's just playing off the bench, he's an instant offense punch, and we can maybe mitigate some of the rest of that. If he doesn't play all the time,

That's fine, too. The issue is actually in addition to like luxury tax concerns and aprons and all that. The fact that the Nuggets don't have a lot of mid-tier contracts in order to make that work without giving up Michael Porter, for instance, like after their top four earners, it's basically Zeke Najee is their fifth most on the docket.

But frankly, what they need, I think, is just like a guy with some zip to play some offense and to soak up some minutes.
