That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if Jokic and Luka want to play together then Jokic has a prime opportunity to make that happen. Couple that with MPJ's back and Murray's ACL tear, there's a little bit more weight about Jokic joining Luka than the other way around.
Let me clarify it's a huge longshot. Jokic seems like an incredibly loyal dude. I don't want to seemingly "poach" him away from the Nuggets because I absolutely loathe reading the same stuff from other teams about Luka. But watching these videos of the two goofing around these last couple of years and how great the fit between the two would be really does make my imagination run wild.
Let me present the "Denver" case.
1. Jokic is the MVP. He is the star between the two, not Luka. Same case like Giannis - players should come play with him.
2. Denver drafted him, believed in him and has showed they want and can build around him. They are extremely well run organization that drafts well, develops well and trades well. They were just extremely unlucky with injuries.
