If Denver moves Nnaji that gets the Nuggets under the second apron, and it would have access to that $5.2 million taxpayer MLE. One player the Nuggets were considering for that role was Russell Westbrook, sources said, before the veteran opted into his $4 million with the Clippers. Another veteran to consider in that ballpark is Dario Šarić, sources said, whom the Nuggets have coveted for some time. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 30, 2024
