One of the Nuggets' big moves in free agency was trading Dario Saric for Jonas Valanciunas. But Friday afternoon things got complicated when reports came out he intended to go play in Europe. He is still under contract with the Nuggets and they have apparently made it clear they intend for Valanciunas to play for the club next season. So what's the latest with Big Val? And how could the Nuggets pivot if things go south? What free agent options are still out there? Adam Mares and Brendan Vogt come to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down everything you need to know in this edition of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast!

DNVR Nuggets Harrison Wind & Eric Wedum Break Down the Jonas Valanciunas Saga with Euro Basketball and the Denver Nuggets, and if Jonas Valanciunas will play for the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Next Season as Nikola Jokic's Backup. The Denver Nuggets are playing hardball with Jonas Valančiūnas — but is keeping him truly the best move they can make? In this episode, we break down the pros, cons, and behind-the-scenes factors shaping Big Val’s uncertain future in Denver. From potential European offers to locker room fit, we explore what this means for Jokic, the Nuggets' title window, and the new-look front office. Nuggets fans, don’t miss this deep dive into the biggest offseason question still looming.

#nba #denvernuggets #nuggets #nikolajokic #jokic #jonasvalanciunas

After no activity on the Draft night, the Denver Nuggets pulled a couple of big moves at the start of free agency: Traded Michael Porter Jr. and a pick for Cam Johnson, and Dario Šarić for Jonas Valančiūnas. They topped those moves by signing Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. to veteran minimum contracts. Just as Nuggets fans started enjoying what seemed like the best off-season of the Jokić era, a report emerged about Big Val trying to get out of his contract and sign a multi-year one overseas.

Miroslav is joined by Andy Bailey of the Bleacher Report to talk about all the Nuggets' off-season moves, and some of the bigger moves league-wide.

The Denver Nuggets have reloaded — and they’re back in the contender conversation. The DNVR Nuggets crew breaks down why this *new-look* team is officially a Tier 1 threat in the NBA title race.

Michael Porter Jr. is out, Cam Johnson is in. The Nuggets add depth and versatility with Bruce Brown returning, Tim Hardaway Jr. joining the mix, and Jonas Valančiūnas shoring up the frontcourt behind Nikola Jokić. With added size, spacing, and switchability, the roster is deeper, more rugged, and more adaptable than ever.

We also dive into the impact of new GM duo Ben Tenzer and John Wallace, and the growing vision of head coach David Adelman. With improved trade flexibility at the deadline and a more playoff-ready supporting cast, the Denver Nuggets might be even more dangerous than before.
