The Nuggets have made a roster move before NBA free agency
While NBA free agency is not officially underway yet, teams and players do have decisions to make on contract options. Teams are also allowed to begin negotiations with their own free agents and reach agreements on extensions.that the Nuggets are declining Vlatko Cancar’s team option for next season. According to Durando, this does not shut the door on Cancar’s time with the team, as both sides could reach a mutually beneficial agreement in free agency.
This is the first move Denver has made this offseason, and while it is not a significant one, it is something the team had to make a decision on. Denver now awaits decisions from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson on their respective player options, as what those two guards decide to do will alter how the Nuggets approach free agency.
It seems Denver would certainly want Caldwell-Pope back, as he has been a key to their starting lineup for several seasons. As for Jackson, his play was up and down off Denver’s bench last season, but he is a solid locker room presence that the Nuggets may also want to retain. As previously mentioned, both players have options, so they will have to decide whether or not to enter free agency.
As for Cancar, he missed all of last season with a torn ACL, but should be prepared to make his return next seasonTitle: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: [email protected] Education: Communication Studies degree from Biola University Location: Los Angeles, California Expertise: NBA analysis and reporting Experience: Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
