"If the Nuggets let Braun become a restricted free agent next summer, there is a concern that a team will pay a high price for Braun and force the Nuggets to keep him at a higher price than if he re-signed early this year. This will affect the Nuggets' future salary situation.

"Considering that the team has limited salary flexibility, the Nuggets want to finalize this signing now and no longer worry about it tomorrow summer."

"The Nuggets value Braun's offensive and defensive capabilities and his ability to serve as a bridge between stars, Jokic and Mourinho. Ray, as well as the team's second team. The total salary of Braun, Jokic, Murray, Gordon and Cameron Johnson in the 26-27 season reached 185.6 million. "
