NBA Front Offices Failing Their Stars? Jokic’s Window, Booker’s Center Problem & Sabonis Trade Value

Are the Denver Nuggets wasting the final prime years of Nikola Jokić? Did the Phoenix Suns’ gamble on Mark Williams already backfire? And has Domantas Sabonis become a negative-value star because of his contract? Haize breaks down all three debates on The Full Court Podcast. 🎙️🏀 On today’s episode, Haize questions whether the Denver Nuggets are doing enough around Nikola Jokić. Jokić is still producing at an MVP-level pace, but Denver is rebuilding its depth with lower-cost additions after losing Peyton Watson. With Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, DeMar DeRozan and Tyus Jones still around, is Denver still a legitimate championship threat — or has “Jokić will figure it out” quietly become the front office’s roster-building strategy? Then Haize dives into the Phoenix Suns’ center problem after Mark Williams underwent shoulder surgery shortly after signing a three-year deal. Should Phoenix trust young big man Khaman Maluach, who flashed major upside in Summer League, or does Devin Booker’s timeline demand another proven center immediately? Plus, Haize asks whether Domantas Sabonis has become a negative-value contract despite still being a very good basketball player. With roughly $94 million guaranteed over the next two seasons, does Sabonis’ lack of elite rim protection, floor spacing or dominant playoff scoring make him too expensive for contenders to trade real assets for? Or is the league overthinking one of basketball’s best rebounders and passing big men? Topics include Nikola Jokić Nuggets, Denver Nuggets roster, Cam Whitmore Nuggets, Peyton Watson, Jamal Murray, DeMar DeRozan, Mark Williams injury, Phoenix Suns center, Khaman Maluach, Devin Booker, Domantas Sabonis trade rumors, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, NBA contracts, NBA second apron, NBA trade value, Western Conference contenders and The Full Court Podcast with Haize. 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are the Nuggets wasting Jokić’s prime?
