Clippers offered Blake Griffin & Lance Stephenson to the Nuggets for Faried, Gallinari, Will Barton & Nikola Jokic. Denver declined. (ESPN)

Would have Jokic beat the Clippers curse and brought them a championship?

this would’ve been considered an overpay even before jokic was an mvp lol

Thank god. That would have lifted the clippers out of the deep mediocrity they have been in forever

Pretty sure Nuggets and fans knew he was destined by then

Imagine Nuggets accepted. This sub would be calling it the worst trade of all time. I'd love to see some alternate NBA timelines

To think at the time asking for Gallinari was probably the dealbreaker. God bless his soul Gallo saved the Nuggets.

lol..wow. Not a chance.Griffin and Stephensen. BY that time JOkic had already established he was going to be pretty good.

A small part of me thinks Jokic wouldn’t develop into the player he is today.

But jeez would the NBA landscape be completely different if this trade happened.
