From the outside looking in, every decision the Denver Nuggets will make from now on feels connected to the Jamal Murray maximum extension. With both Murray and Nikola Jokic signed to long term contracts, Denver will look to build around those two pieces in the way they see fit, the way they believe will maximize their chance of winning a championship within the next four years. That is the number of years remaining on Jokic’s contract, and the only time he will be obligated to spend with the Nuggets if he sees fit.
