Jokic’s floor as a defender is always going to be pretty high because he (1) Is massive, (2) Has great, quick hands, and (3) Rebounds the shit out of the ball. 
 

But yes, the handful of times a game he is forced to defend 1v1 in space fifteen feet from the rim are never going to be great for Denver. 
 

Denver also been on a long road trip where they’ve gone progressively eastward. They’ve looked tired the last week.

For what it’s worth…

The Mavs had major concerns about moving forward with Luka Doncic due to his constant conditioning issues and the looming commitment of another supermax contract extension this summer, sources told ESPN.

If the league even knew he was for sale, there would’ve been a feeding frenzy. 

That’s what I don’t get - from the looks of it the Mavs didn’t exactly shop him around.

Teams like Utah, OKC, Houston, and SA could have and likely would’ve offered a better package than what they got from LA.

The other thing - does Luka even want to be in LA in the short term? That roster is a fucking mess now.

Maybe they aren't done moving things around but I don't see how they put any sort of front-court depth together that's worth a shit. LA's biggest issues were front-court depth and defense so they trade Davis for Luka (which - long term I get - I really do) - meanwhile Luka isn't even fucking playing right now - meanwhile meanwhile they don't own their pick this season so tanking doesn't do anything for them (and they've already won 28 games).

I just... I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Are they trading LeBron? That doesn't really make sense.

Kings got a better haul than Dallas did lol 

think he means from the spurs perspective 

Ah makes sense.

Spurs did well in not giving up any of the young core or the Hawks pick in the Cooper Flagg draft.

And the Kings probably did as well as could reasonably be expected, considering Fox made it abundantly clear he'd be a Spur by July 2026 anyway.

Really, it was Lavine + 3 first round picks + 3 second round picks

Actually more like 2 first round picks - 

 

Sources confirm Sacramento is receiving
Zach LaVine,
three firsts and three seconds in the De’Aaron Fox trade:
To Sacramento - 2027 unprotected San Antonio 1st - 2031 unprotected Minnesota 1st -
2025 top-14 protected Charlotte 1st
Note: This first conveyed into a second in 2026 and 2027 - 2025 Chicago second (via SAS) - 2028 Denver second - 2028 Sacramento second (their own back) To Chicago - Their own 2025 first (from San Antonio)

Wait. They traded Fox for Collins and Jones?

And a lot of picks..... A couple of firsts and a lot of 2nds because of conveyance..... This seems right:

The Spurs got De'Aaron Fox while sending out four firsts. One is a Hornets first that will convey into two seconds. One is a Bulls that is probably never going to convey. And another is one of their own in 2027. The only of value they sent out IMO is the 2031 Wolves pick. They still have a lot of good picks left for future moves.
