Wonder how the Nuggets feel about MPJs contract right now. Almost single-handedly losing them games. Cannot make a shot on offense and is absolultely lost on defense. Almost feels like he doesn´t know the scheme.

Doubt they have any remorse about it.
He is integral part of their run, even if he doesn't show up in a series. 
You have to make some overpay if you want to be contender, that is how current CBA works. 

He will be traded at some point, and unless some bad injury happen I think it won't be difficult. Especially if they won the Finals.
Age is in his side, and GM always value players who were in championship run. They will ge some value back.

Against a team without a center in an era without centers. Whatever.

I think that makes him more impressive,  not the opposite. 
He has done it against the trends and new approaches. Not when it was supposed to be the big men league.
