Goodbye Jokic! The substitute center is determined to leave and is about to return to Europe!
6:17pm, 5 July 2025【Basketball】
NBA is currently in the offseason, the free agent market has been opened, and all teams are actively adjusting their lineups.
Denver Nuggets won praise for a series of operations. They first posted a first-round pick and sent Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets, and exchanged for Cameron Johnson. This is considered a good deal because Cameron Johnson's ability is similar to Porter Jr., his health is much better and his annual salary is half the cheaper.
Relying on the money saved, the Nuggets signed back the hero Bruce Brown, who won the championship season with a basic salary contract, and then signed substitute scorer Tim Hardaway Jr. The last and most critical step was that the Nuggets used Sharic, who could no longer play the ball, to trade center Valancius.
This is good news, which means that Jokic finally has a suitable substitute. Jokic has not had a suitable substitute in recent years, which has caused a headache for the Nuggets. But what's even more headache is that Valanciunas wanted to leave as soon as he came, and he made up his mind.
It is reported that Valanciunas has been determined to return to the European arena, and he accepted a three-year, 12 million euro after-tax contract from the Greek league powerhouse Panasinakos men's basketball team. Valanciunas is expected to arrive in Athens, Greece tomorrow morning to meet with the management of the Panasinakos men's basketball team.
In this way, Valanciunas has expressed his willingness to give up the NBA contract worth $23.4 million in the last two years, hoping to complete the buyout with the Nuggets. This is equivalent to exchanging Sharic for air and earning 3 second round picks by the way.
Valanciunas does not want to play as a substitute. He has lost his mind about the NBA and only wants to return to Europe to play as a starting player. The Nuggets may need to find a substitute center again.
