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.

Jonas Valanciunas has been lured into considering a return to the EuroLeague, where the Greek club Panathinaikos has offered him a three-year contract worth $13 million, according to a report by BasketNews. One problem: Valanciunas is under contract in the NBA. For $10.4 million next season, to be precise.

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.
