Things seem to be going in the right direction in Denver. New people in sports management made a series of moves that caused a lot of attention in NBA circles, and according to the latest information from America, the main man of the franchise from Colorado - a 29-year-old from Serbia- is satisfied.

The information was revealed by one of the most reliable voices from ESPN, Brian Windhorst. In his "Hoop Collective" podcast, this seasoned analyst shared what he was told by close sources:

"Mr. Jokić did not declare himself officially, at least not in English. However, I was told secondhand that Nikola is very satisfied with the moves the Nuggets are making."

This kind of reaction pleased even the fans who are a bit skeptical about the future, still not knowing what to expect in the next season.

Jokic was and remains the main figure of the team, but it is necessary to have quality players next to him who can help the Nuggets reach the end.

Exchanges, savings and return of old faces

From the moment Ben Tenser and Jonathan Wallace took the helm from the rather passive predecessor, Calvin Booth, things clearly took off. The trade that sent Michael Porter's massive contract to Brooklyn in exchange for Cam Johnson and a 2032 first-round pick drew the most attention. This move saved almost 17 million dollars, which opened up space for the return of one of the heroes from the championship season - Bruce Brown.

In addition, it was previously mentioned that the Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas could wear the jersey of the team from Ball Arena, but the Greek giant Panathinaikos complicated that story by showing serious interest.

On the other hand, one of those who is no longer part of the team is Dario Šarić, who was on the sidelines anyway. His place was taken by the experienced guard from Detroit, Tim Hardaway Junior, who at the age of 33 brings experience and shooting potential.

For now, everything is going in favor of the team from Colorado, and the support of the most important player is clearly not in doubt.
