Plus, the Bruce brown thing prolly needs to stop. He is a bigger name and basically signed a one year 22 mil contract that guaranteed he would be traded. I can’t think of a better way for DJJ to get back to making the min after one year. That means a 3 for 30 contact would be more lucrative, especially somewhere that maximizes his talents and potentially leads to another non min contract
I guess I don't understand the Bruce Brown comment. He signed a 2 year 45 million dollar contract. That has a team option by 6/28. There are reports that the Raptors are going to trade him, but I would guess the odds that contract is picked up somehow. At the worst he made, 22 million last year and then is a free agent and can sign a MLE type contract with a contender.
Or the worst is Toronto or another dreg picking up the contract and he has 45 milllion over 2 years and is a FA next year. Life changing money for a guy who only had one year with solid pay with Denver.
I think he is much better off now. Maybe he passed on the opportunity to repeat but I believe Denver could only offer less than 10 million with a wink wink deal for the following season. If he is smart, his future generations should be taken care of with probably another solid payday coming up.
Just my thoughts.
