BREAKING: Nikola Jokić Secretly Meets with Lakers Representatives in Belgrade!
Exclusive sources from Serbia report that superstar Nikola Jokić held a clandestine meeting with Los Angeles Lakers representatives in his hometown of Belgrade on the night of June 25th. The meeting took place at an upscale restaurant in the old quarter, lasting nearly 3 hours.
Details of the Secret Meeting
According to restaurant sources, Jokić appeared alongside agent Rich Paul and a man identified as Rob Pelinka – Lakers General Manager. The dinner unfolded in a tense atmosphere, with intense discussions about the 3-time MVP’s future.
“They were talking very seriously. I saw them drawing plays on napkins,” revealed a server.
Lakers Preparing “Mega Deal”
Rumors suggest the Lakers are preparing an “irrefusible package” including:
-
Anthony Davis + Austin Reaves + 3 first-round picks
-
Commitment to build around Jokić and LeBron James
-
“Franchise player” role with roster decision-making power
Denver’s Response
The Nuggets hastily sent Josh Kroenke flying to Serbia overnight to “extinguish” the rumors. However, Kroenke’s recent mention of potentially “trading number 15” has fans worried about the team’s commitment to Jokić.
Jokić’s Suspicious Silence
Notably, Jokić has shut down all social media since the meeting and refused to answer calls from Serbian press. This is completely uncharacteristic behavior for someone always open with media.
