Grading the Nuggets Valanciunas Trade!!!


FAILED

This will be a short one for me since I'm not too interested here, feels a little obvious for both teams why so not a lot to mention. So let's just get to the grades.

Grade Explanation Post: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/epTyDdsSXUgNRK/my-trade-grade-rankings-explained

Nuggets: B

It feels like the Nuggets have become one my top offseason teams very quickly, i've loved each move in FA getting Bruce Brown back and cutting that salary and keeping quality in the MPJ Cam - Johnson Trade which I loved too so this feels like a continuation of what the Nuggets had to do and its a perfect fit. Valanciunas fits the system pretty perfectly in Denver in my opinion being a smart big who can operate with nice passing and feel that you can use to try to run some offence through him when Jokic is off, you can't play both these guys together so you could view that as a negative but you got rid of Saric who did nothing for you on a negative contract and gas up nothing else for a reliable backup big that filled a need and I trust to contribute to a winning system and play playoff basketball. Just a consistent center option and a lot better than Zeke Nnaji and De'Andre Jordon of last season.

Kings: C

I understand why due to some cap stuff and just clearing money and I hear they are waiving Saric so that makes a lot of sense to me but its just very middling which we seem to be seeing a lot of from the Kings to me so yeah feels a little redundant and you getting the negative asset but you are clearing good money so I can't blame ya for it. Still Painfully average...
