Nikola Jokic’s Feelings on Nuggets’ Offseason Revealed
The Denver Nuggets have had a much busier offseason than many anticipated. They were able to get off Michael Porter Jr.’s contract by attaching a 2032 first-round pick, which brought them Cam Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets. That trade alone saved them over $17 million and gave them an arguably better fit with the team, and gave them a lot of flexibility to make other moves.
With that extra space, they were able to trade Dario Saric, who wasn’t in the rotation at all last year, to the Sacramento Kings for Jonas Valanciunas, sign Tim Hardaway Jr., and bring back old friend Bruce Brown. They have a legitimate rotation right now, even as they try to convince Valanciunas not to go overseas.
But how does Nikola Jokic feel about these moves? He hasn’t released a public statement, and probably won’t say anything about it for as long as possible, but these moves were made with him in mind.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst gave some insight on that on the latest “Hoop Collective” podcast with Tim MacMahon and Tim Bontemps.
“Mr. Jokic has not spoken on the record, at least in English, about this that I’ve seen, but I was told through secondhand that Jokic was very pleased with the Nuggets’ moves,” Windhorst said.
Assuming Valanciunas makes his way to Denver, he’ll be the best backup Jokic has had since he established himself in Denver. Jokic was worn out by the end of last season, and having someone who can let him rest for 15 minutes a game would be massive. However, Valanciunas is flirting with going back to Europe if a buyout can be negotiated, something the Nuggets aren’t interested in right now.

HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — A woman accused of murder at Houston Lake Apartments back in March has returned to Middle Georgia after her arrest in Denver.

Officers on the scene found Oates with a gunshot wound behind the 1700 building, and he was then pronounced dead by the Houston County Coroner’s Office.
The first arrest made in the case happened on March 18, with Perry Police arresting Alexander Culler on a warrant for murder surrounding Oates’ death.
Oglesby was arrested over a week later in Denver, Colo., on a warrant for a party to a crime in connection with the fatal shooting.
Oglesby has since returned to Middle Georgia from Denver, where she faces a pending murder charge at the Houston County Detention Center.

Denverites looking for a stellar cup of Joe don’t need to travel far to savor the flavor of excellent coffee.
That’s according to The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops, a website that rates global hospitality establishments where coffee lovers can find better brew. The website recently announced its 2026 list of the best coffee shops in North America, Central America and the Caribbean and two local companies made the list.
Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters came in at No. 43, while Queen City Collective Coffee ranked No. 61. Not bad for a list that includes must-hit destinations in places like Guatemala and Costa Rica, which are known for their exports of coffee beans.
The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops decided the ranking through a mix of nominations and voting by both the public and experts. Places were evaluated based on the quality of coffee served, barista expertise, ambiance, sustainability practices, and innovation among other criteria, according to the website.
Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, which came on the scene in 2013, helped usher the so-called fourth wave of coffee locally, which focuses on honoring the beans’ agricultural roots and using techniques like pour-over to extract more flavor from each brew. The company started with a wholesale roastery and retail shop in Lakewood before expanding to Arvada through a merger with another company called Two Rivers, and later to Westminster. In 2022, Food and Wine magazine named Sweet Bloom’s Westminster locale the best coffee shop in Colorado.
Queen City Collective has certainly earned the popular vote among Mile High City coffee drinkers if the company’s expansion is an indication. Since opening its first retail location in 2018, in a spot shared with Novel Strand Brewing Co., Queen City has expanded to seven locations between Denver and surrounding suburbs, including Wheat Ridge and Aurora.
