May the exchange to the NBA that brings the Jonas Valanci to Denver Nuggets He sends me Dario Saric to Sacramento Kings that has not yet been announced but – according to what is said in the US – will not be late to be formalized.
As Mark Stein claims – dealing with the Denver team’s report – this week will formalize the exchange of Jonas Valastina by the Kings in the Nuggets, even though the Lithuanian center wishes to leave the NBA and fight.
Indeed, it will first be validated by Michael Porter Junior’s trade with Kam Johnson from Nuggets to Nets.
American media report that the Nuggets did not know, either from Valancias or the Kings, about the 33 -year -old Lithuanian desire to leave the NBA, but decided to exchange anyway.
The Jonas Valančiūnas-for-Dario Šarić trade is on course to be made official this week after Denver makes Michael Porter Jr.-for-Cam Johnson official, @TheSteinLine has learned.
The Nuggets, I’m told, must make their Brooklyn trade official first before acquiring Valančiūnas. pic.twitter.com/0AVz5sVLWA

It is reported that Valancina will be persuaded to play in Denver, where he is intended for the role of Nikola Jokic’s back up. If they fail to convince Lithuanian basketball player, the Denver team has Al Horford as their second choice.
Recall that now Yonas Valancina is in Vilnius for the “B8 Summit 2025” where he is expected to speak and possibly open his papers.
