NBA Free Agency Round-up: 1st July - LeBron James signs with Lakers; KD, PG13 & CP3 re-sign with former teams

#4 The Denver Nuggets attempt to bring their 2017-18 roster back

Nikola Jokic averaged historic numbers last season

The Nuggets went all out to establish a solid young core, offering Nikola Jokic a max deal of 5 years, $148 million after declining the team option on the final year of his contract. Jokic became the first center in 50 years to average 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists through the course of the regular season, and he also set the record for the fastest triple-double in NBA history, notching it up in 14:53 of playing time.

Other than Jokic, the Nuggets also signed Will Barton to a 4-year, $50 million deal that ties the 27-year-old to Mile High City for 4 more years. Wilson Chandler also opted into the final year of his contract, worth $12.8 million this season.

Clearly, the Nuggets are satisfied with the roster they have, and should be a playoff contender with Paul Millsap healthy once more.
