## Resource

Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP, is holding out for a bigger payday—twice turning down lucrative extensions—while Denver’s offseason moves have been quiet compared to rivals. With key additions like Marvin Bagley III and Alpha Diallo, the Nuggets still look largely unchanged, and the looming $177M luxury tax threat from restricted free agent Peyton Watson’s $25M demand adds pressure. Jokic says he wants to finish his career in Denver, but with playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Nuggets’ future hinges on action, not just words.
