Denver dumps a productive veteran center purely for salary cap maneuvering. Multiple outlets confirm the Nuggets prioritized financial relief over basketball fit immediately. Signing Bagley III days prior signals they chose youth upside over proven depth. Fans question whether cap savings justify losing reliable interior defense and rebounding. Denver now depends on Bagley's health and development to replace Valanciunas's production.
