150 million in 5 years! NBA fast attack king! The Nuggets can t keep him

On May 24, the Nuggets officially announced that the team and interim coach Adelman Jr. have reached an agreement, and Adelman Jr. has officially become the next head coach of the Nuggets. Some fans may not know when Ma Long was dismissed? With three games left in the regular season this season, the Nuggets fired head coach Malone and general manager Calvin Booth.

In the past two years, Mike Malone and Calvin Booth have always had conflicts. The two not only communicated zero, but also said bad things about each other behind their backs. The Nuggets boss couldn't bear it anymore and fired both of them at the same time. Adelman Jr. is the son of NBA famous coach Rick Adelman, who was once the head coach of the Kings and Rockets.

Adelman Jr. was born on May 15, 1981. He has worked as a player development coach for the Timberwolves for 6 years. In 2017, Adelman Jr. served as the Nuggets assistant coach, assisting Mike Malone. The Nuggets' idea of ​​choosing coaches is the same as the Spurs. They did not hire famous NBA coaches who were unemployed at home, but instead helped to straighten their team's assistant coach.

Nuggets have not yet finalized the general manager candidate. It is estimated that it will be completed next month and the free market will open on July 1. This summer, the Nuggets still have a tricky question to deal with: Will Braun renew his contract in advance? According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks, Braun can sign a five-year contract this summer, at least $30 million a year.

Braun is the No. 21 pick in the first round of 2022. He is currently still a 4-year, $13.77 million rookie contract, expires in the summer of 2026, and next season is a team option of $4.92 million. The Nuggets will have 13 people carrying contracts next season, and their total salary has exceeded the first tycoon line. They will pay a luxury tax of $36 million. Can Braun stay?

As mentioned earlier, Braun will be the last year of his rookie contract next season. If the contract is renewed early this summer, the new contract will be executed from the 2026-27 season. The leader looked at the Nuggets' salary structure. If there is no transaction, by the 2026-27 season, the annual salary of the Nuggets' starting five tigers will reach US$210 million. What is the concept of this number

? The second rich line in the NBA next season is confirmed to be US$207.8 million, and may rise to US$220 million in the 2026-27 season. At that time, the annual salary of the Nuggets' starting five players, plus the substitute players, will definitely surpass the second rich line. There are only two ways for the Nuggets: 1. Trading Porter Jr.; 2. Trading Braun.

Braun was born on April 17, 2001 and played 79 regular season games for the Nuggets this season, including 77 starts. Average of 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 turnover, with three shooting percentages: 58%, 39.7%, 82.7%. Average plus or negative values ​​+6.1, ranked 17th in the league; averaging 5.1 fast break points, ranked 1st in the league!

You can see that Braun's fast break score accounts for one-third of his total score. In the playoffs, Braun's multiple statistics fell: he averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his three shooting percentages: 45.3%, 30%, and 71%. The regular season real shooting percentage was 66.5%, and the playoffs fell to 54.8%.

In the past two years, the Nuggets have let go of several rotation players. Do you think Braun will leave the team? How much is he worth?
