From the next lead executive, to new assistants and some likely roster turnover, this summer is setting up to be a big one for the Denver Nuggets' future.
Now, in the offseason, his teammate and former NBA Champion DeAndre Jordan shared the update he received from Jokic back in his home country of Serbia. "He sent me a picture with a horse," Jordan said. "A selfie, him and the horse together. I was like 'Alright, have fun, brother.'"

It is growing more and more obvious just how much Nikola Jokic needs to be supported by a stronger cast of players around him. The Nuggets superstar is one of the best floor and ceiling raisers in the league, however, even Jokic has his limits.
