Nikola Jokic is in the headlines, not for something he did, but for a proposal that a Greek club offered to the Denver Nuggets superstar.
Dimitrios Giannakopoulos is the owner of the Panathinaikos Basketball Club in Athens, Greece. The Greek businessman said he made a "proposal" to the Nuggets to buy out the final season of Jokic's current NBA contract. Despite getting a rejection, he believes he will have better fortunes of signing Jokic away in the 2027 offseason.
"People are going to say, 'OK, now he's joking,'" Giannakopoulos told the "Euro Insiders" podcast. "I did make a very serious proposal this year both to his team and to him. I got a rejection. I know that he has one more year of a contract."
"It took a few seconds [for the Nuggets] to say, 'Who? Greece? Where? What? Bye,'" Giannakopoulos said. "But let's wait until next year."
Raznatovic longtime agent, Misko Raznatovic, has confirmed that Giannakopoulos was telling the truth.
