The first member of the Denver Nuggets' championship-winning team could depart, as Bruce Brown is heading for free agency.
Brown declined his $6.8 million player option with the Nuggets on Wednesday, but doesn't necessarily want to leave the franchise. The 26-year-old told the Denver Post last week: "I want to stay. It’s a perfect fit.
"Money is not everything. The money will come. So I’m not worried about that right now." But Brown proceeded to decline his player option, and the most he can currently be offered by the Nuggets is $7.7 million.
