NBA Insider Lays Out Key, Expensive Nuggets Offseason Decision

Christian Braun is eligible for a contract extension this offseason and it's going to cost the Denver Nuggets a pretty penny, according to ESPN's NBA insider Bobby Marks.

Braun, who the Nuggets drafted in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft, is entering the fourth year of his current deal, which is a team option for just over $3 million. If the Nuggets wanted to wait and save a lot of money for the next two years, he would become a restricted free agent two years from now. Or they could give him an extension worth upwards of $30 million a year and lock down an integral part of a team that just came within one game of going back to the Western Conference finals.
