Valanciūnas and Zeke Nnaji are the Nuggets' only veteran names of late
circulating as certain trade candidates. For all the expectation this spring
that Denver was determined to shed salary to make it easier to match offers on
restricted free agent swingman Peyton Watson, this is not a team that has
been operating in recent days with a determination to stay below the second
apron like James Dolan's Knicks.
Watson, meanwhile, is said to be seeking a deal north of the $25 million in
average annual value that Christian Braun secured from Denver in October. How
feasible that is in this marketplace remains to be seen.
Most notably in Denver ...
We're told that the Nuggets have rebuffed several trade offers from teams
attempting to pry away Cam Johnson.
Some rival teams projected the Nuggets to prioritize trying to trade Braun in
the wake of a first-round exit, but the timing was clearly suboptimal given
Braun's injuries last season and the fact that his five-year deal is only just
beginning in 2026-27.
1.金块近期只有听大V跟Nnaji的报价，金块近期的举动表明他们看起来并没有一定要
把薪资降到二层硬上限以下想法
另外大V本来预定会回欧洲，但因为现在市场上对他的兴趣不减反增，反而出现了变量
2.金块拒绝了大量交易Cam Johnson的提案
3.有些球队认为金块会尝试交易Braun，但考虑他的合约刚开跑目前不是好时机
4.Watson在寻求年均25M以上的合约，也是去年Braun签的价格，但考虑目前的市场他
还能拿到多少是一个变量

最大意外应该是各队以为金块一定有躲二层的压力，但金块现在的行为看起来不像要躲
二层，给人感觉反而像考虑硬要拼了
