The Denver Nuggets are mired in quite the odd time. The Jonas Valanciunas to Europe saga isn't complete yet, but he's not even the only Nuggets player departing. Vlatko Cancar was reported earlier in the week as leaving to play in Italy, and he himself confirmed that news in a podcast appearance.

Just this last Sunday, the Denver Nuggets made a blockbuster trade with the Sacramento Kings to acquire Jonas Valanciunas in the NBA free agency. They exchanged Dario Saric for the veteran center, signing him in the existing $10.

The second flipped Dario Sarič to Sacramento for Jonas Valančiūnas, seemingly solving the Nuggets' backup center problem that's persisted for a few years now. However, new reports indicate that deal may not get done as Valančiūnas may not even play in the NBA next year.
