6:51am, 3 July 2025【Basketball】
The NBA free agent market opened for 26 hours, and each team took action wildly, completing a total of 37 signings, with a total signing amount of more than US$2.05 billion. 30 teams have difficult scriptures to recite, some are happy and some are sad! On the East, the Hawks are undoubtedly the biggest winners. Posses, Kennard, and Alexander Walker rushed to assist Trae Young, and the situation was very good; on the West, the Rockets are also making a fortune in silence, and their operations are as fierce as a tiger, creating a championship-winning formation against the defending champion Thunder! In addition to the Rockets, there is another Western team who has also been crazy and has made frequent moves and won a lot of prizes!
What I want to say is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have been in a turmoil this past season, and general manager Booth and champion coach Malone were dismissed at the same time! Even so, the Nuggets still achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, the Nuggets fought at most injuries and retreated due to shortage of personnel. They fought with the Thunder until the tiebreak in the Western Conference semi-finals, but they could leave with their heads held high. In the words of fans, as long as Jokic is here, the Nuggets can wrestle with any opponent, and the 6.5-man rotation almost overturned the Thunder who won the championship later. The Nuggets can no longer waste Jokic's peak period. After the free agent trading market was opened, the Nuggets changed their normal behavior and became one of the most active teams in the league - creating conditions without conditions, daring to think and act quickly and steadily, and making drastic adjustments to the lineup within the limited operating space, highlighting a "quick knife to cut the mess, and make up for whatever is missing"! Just today, the Nuggets completed a 1-for-1 extreme deal! According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Nuggets completed the deal with the Kings, sent out Saric and got Valan! Saric played only 16 games for the Nuggets last season, averaging 3.5 points + 3.1 rebounds per game. He is a real marginal figure in the lineup and is optional! However, Valan is a real lineup rotation player. He played 32 games for the Kings last season, averaging 8.7 points + 7 rebounds + 1.8 assists per game! Who would have thought that the Nuggets could use Saric to solve Jokic's long-standing substitute problem? This transaction can at least give you a full score!
In addition, the Nuggets also reached 2 signings with the veteran's basic salary contract! According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Nuggets signed champion former player Bruce Brown with a one-year, $3.08 million veteran maximum salary contract. In the Nuggets' championship season, Brown averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, and was a real bench gangster. From winning the Nuggets to leaving the team to making a lot of money, and returning to the familiar comfort zone of the Nuggets, Brown is expected to be reborn. At the same time, according to the NBA famous reporter Shams, Hardaway Jr. joined the Nuggets with a one-year, basic salary contract of US$3.63 million. Hardaway Jr. made 36 of 57 three-pointers last season, with a shooting percentage of up to 63%. You can imagine how wonderful the scene of him playing next to Jokic is.
A limit of 1 for 1 transaction, 2 veteran basic salary contracts were signed, and the Nuggets actually survived in a game of dead chess! Congratulations to Jokic, you must thank Porter Jr. before! Before all this happened, the Nuggets and Nets completed a big deal with Porter Jr. The Nuggets gave Porter Jr. + the first round pick in 2032 and got the Nets' old Huang Zhong. Old Huang Zhong is a more balanced and stable version of the striker, which is enough to replace Porter Jr. More importantly, this deal can reduce the team's total salary to below the luxury tax line, save the Nuggets 40 million US dollars, and create a transaction exception of $16.8 million US dollars. The Nuggets also have luxury tax middle class exceptions and biennial exceptions to strengthen.
Nuggets sacrificed Porter Jr. but built a championship team around Jokic. Jokic should be able to sign a super top salary with confidence. The bustle belongs to the entire Denver Plateau, but Westbrook can't go back! Prior to this, Westbrook refused to execute the last 1-year player option to become a free agent and unblocked the Nuggets on social media. US media pointed out incisively: As the team introduced Huang Zhong, Brown, Hardaway Jr. and Valan one after another, the Nuggets' starting five tigers include Jokic + Murray + Gordon + Huang Zhong + Braun, and the substitute lineup includes Brown + Hardaway Jr. + Valan + Watson + Strauser, and there are enough cards that can be played. In short, the Nuggets cannot give Westbrook more and bigger contracts, and Westbrook is not suitable for the Nuggets substitute lineup, so he can only find another way out. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
