The recent signing of DeMar DeRozan compels the Denver Nuggets to free up salary in order to fall below the second apron.
One option that is being considered is the potential trade of Zeke Nnaji to shed his contract.
Nnaji has two seasons left on his deal, at 7.46 million dollars per season, with the final year optional for the player.
The Nuggets currently have 225 million dollars in guaranteed salaries on the books as they await the official confirmation of DeRozan’s deal.
In this summer of activity, they have agreed to bring in Marvin Bagley III, Alpha Diallo, Lonnie Walker IV, and Julian Reese, who will be waived in the near future.
