Deep breath, Nuggets fans. Exhale. Nikola Jokic declining to sign a three-year extension this summer isn’t just a nothing burger.
It’s a nothing burger with 55 nothing fries, 55 nothing tacos, 55 nothing pies, 100 nothing tater tots, 100 nothing pizzas, 100 nothing tenders, 100 nothing meatballs, 100 nothing coffees, 55 nothing chicken wings, 55 nothing pancakes, 55 nothing pastas, 55 nothing hot peppers and 155 nothing taters. Washed down with 55 nothing Cokes and 55 nothing shakes.
It’s bookkeeping 101. Or rather, bookkeeping 292. As in $292 million — which, as pointed out by The Post’s Bennett Durando, Jokic could collect from the Nuggets next summer by signing a four-year extension then.
