Just victorious from his first NBA championship title, will Bruce Brown stay in Denver? While he can test the market this summer, where he will undoubtedly be in high demand, the guard seems eager to extend the adventure in the Rockies.
Signed last summer after a successful stint in Brooklyn, Bruce Brown more than justified the $6.5 million spent by the Nuggets this season on his contract. An important player in Denver’s rotation, a real energizer off the bench on both sides of the field, the versatile guard played his part in winning the title. Still decisive at the end of Game 5 tonight, Brown was great during these Playoffs and his contractual situation is now of interest to many people. In July 2022, he signed a two-year contract with Denver, but the second year, worth $6.8 million, is a player option. Bruce Brown therefore has the opportunity to test the Free Agency this summer.
Given his contribution this year, there is no doubt that the player will be able to claim a nice salary increase, especially since many teams are likely to be interested in his profile. What do Colorado fans fear about leaving? Not necessarily. On the sidelines of the title celebrations, Bruce Brown told Mike Singer about Denver Post that he wanted to continue the adventure at the Ball Arena next year.
“I want to stay. Look at us. We celebrate finals and victory. That’s why we come to the NBA, to win at the highest level”.
“It’s the perfect setting. Money isn’t everything. The money will come. So I’m not worried at the moment”.
If money does not always bring happiness, we can still imagine that the guy will want to get a raise. Trouble for Denver, the gold diggers don’t have the Bird rights to Brown, so they can’t offer him more than 20% off his current salary, which would be $7.8 million. selon Tim MacMahon d’ESPN.

Brown is the one core player on the Nuggets who probably won’t be back next season. Denver is limited to offering him a salary of $7.8M.

If he tests the market, he will certainly get more than this amount but the solution could also be to sign a new short contract with Denver on the basis of these 7.8 million dollars and retest the market in a year to this time get paid. like it should be. Between love of the shirt and big increase, Bruce Brown will probably have to choose.
