With the conference finals in full swing, the NBA draft lottery finished and prospects ready for team visits, the Denver Nuggets can enjoy a brief moment to relax. Unfortunately though, no matter where President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly and General Manager Arturas Karnsovas go, there’s still going to be a giant elephant in the room: Nikola Jokic’s team option. The brain trust of the Nuggets must decide whether or not to allow Jokic to become a restricted free agent and in all likelihood offer him (or match) a max contract this summer, retaining Nikola’s services for just over $25 million in 2018-2019; or, they could accept his 1 year team option, pay him approximately $1.
