The new inside player will give up all salaries and join the Greek giants. Do the Nuggets have to find another center?

According to the report of the American media League Alerts, a person familiar with the matter revealed that Jonas Valanciunas has verbally agreed to sign with the Greek League giant Panasinaikos and is expected to arrive in Athens tomorrow morning. He is also willing to give up all his salary in his contract next season so that he can leave the NBA field smoothly. According to European basketball media BasketNews, Panasinakos offers Valanciunas about $13 million for three years, and his current salary in this contract is $10.4 million next season. Last summer, Valanciunas signed a three-year contract with the Washington Wizards for a total of $30.3 million. But in a deal before last season's trade deadline, Valanciunas was sent to the Sacramento Kings by the Wizards. After joining the Kings, Valanciunas made a total of 32 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 16.9 minutes per game, averaging 8.7 points, 7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.6 fouls. He shot 55.6%, three-point shooting percentage 10%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.7%.

Valanciunas' performance with the Kings is actually quite good. Although he doesn't play too much, he can also play his scoring ability. He has also contributed relatively high on the offensive end, and he can also maintain a good scoring ability at the basket. Not only that, Valanciunas can also provide certain help and support to the team in terms of rebound protection and interior defense. Overall, Valanciunas is also a player with very online ability. He can play a certain role on the court and plays a good role as a substitute center.

In a previous transaction, Valanciunas was traded by the King to the Denver Nuggets. According to previous statements, the Nuggets really hope that Valanciunas can stay in the team. They complete this deal, and they also hope that Valanciunas can play the role of Nikola Jokic as a substitute, which will further improve the competitiveness of the team's second team. I believe this is also an important factor in the Nuggets' acquisition of him through trading. However, the problem is that Valanciunas is also a little unsatisfied with his development in the NBA. Valanciunas has been being traded, and he needs to change his boss every few months. Such an unstable state is indeed a bit too cruel for a European veteran who is over 30 years old. Valanciunas is also a player who has already won a large contract. He doesn't value money so much. In this case, leaving the NBA arena and looking for more stable development opportunities is also a more ideal result for him. It seems that the Nuggets also need to reconsider the candidate for a substitute center?
