According to previous news, Jonas Valanciunas has verbally agreed to join the Greek giant Panasinakos and is willing to give up all his salary in the Nuggets.

In response to this, CBS reporter Sam Quinn said: "If he is willing to give up his entire NBA contract, this operation will still be profitable for the Nuggets. So they can use the complete middle-class special case elsewhere. They are equivalent to throwing off (Dario) Salic's contract in vain. This is a victory."

Last season, Salic averaged 13.1 minutes of playing in the Nuggets, scoring 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
