Nuggets farce officially ends, insiders are strengthened

The farce between the Nuggets and Valanciunas has finally ended, officially announced! Valanciunas officially joins the Denver Nuggets. Previously, the Nuggets announced that they would send Dario Salic to get center Jonas Valancius from the Kings, but the latter refused to join the new owner of the Nuggets and instead met with Greek giants Panasinaks, and decided to officially withdraw from the NBA and return to Europe to play.

It is reported that Greece issued a three-year, 12 million euro contract for Valan, which is far from Valan's existing NBA contract. Valan is currently carrying a two-year, $20.4 million contract. Fully guaranteed for US$10.4 million in the 25-26 season, and unsecured for US$10 million in the 26-27 season. It seems that the NBA contract amount is larger, but in fact, Varan only gets 4.2 million US dollars next season after deducting various taxes. On the contrary, Varan can get nearly 4.33 million US dollars in Europe. Moreover, it is only 3 years old to go to Europe to have a guarantee contract. In addition, Varan is 33 years old, so he prefers to go to Europe.

But perhaps because he saw the sincerity of the Nuggets (the Nuggets converted their last two years of contract into full protection) and the team's grand consultation teacher called him personally to keep him. Whether it was looking at "money" or the worldly affairs, Valan eventually had to choose to stay in the NBA to assist Jokic. At this point, this farce came to an end with Valan's staying behind, and the Nuggets completed the splicing of the last championship puzzle.

Some fans may think that it is completely unnecessary for the Nuggets management to leave him for a long time, but after reading Valan's average game data for the 2024-25 season, you will understand why the Nuggets management and Teacher Yo did this. Last season, Valan played a total of 81 regular season games, with no choice in attendance. He averaged 10.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.6 blocks per game. His three shooting percentages were: 55%, 21.6%, and 87.9%. He ranked 13th in the league in the second offense averaged score, averaged 2.3 frontcourt rebounds per game, and ranked 26th in the league. What's more important is that such people's data are only completed within 19 minutes per game.

The first substitute who had sex with the teacher was Jordan Jr. This insider muscles and sticks were also a rough guy at its peak. He could only rely on eating cakes to score on the offensive end, and the defensive end had no sense of existence as he got older. Now that Valan is coming, it is completely different. Although the frame protection and defensive end are almost the same as the old Jordan, his diverse scoring methods and his efficient performance on the offensive end can ensure that the inside line still gives the opponent high-intensity confrontation when the teacher is out of the court, winning enough rest time for the teacher.

Valanciunas' arrival will further liberate Jokic. In addition, the Nuggets exchanged Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson, former champions who signed back to the championship with the base salary, and Hardaway Jr. The substitute center Valan is now waiting for. The Nuggets have only been in one summer, just like the league announced that they have returned to the championship again.
