During our passionate experience, we have seen NBA teams break up, a whole bunch even. But what will remain of these Nets 2021-22 edition, if not Joe Harris and the steward? At the end of the afternoon, Bruce Brown – whose contract in Brooklyn had expired – decided to join the Nuggets. Sean Marks, for his part, went to drink water from the footbath at Aquaboulevard.
“Bruce Brown is to the Nets what an X-wing is to the Rebellion: pilots may be excellent, but they are pilots because they have a ship”. In Brooklyn, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden may have played the game of their team, they were in reality, without the contribution of Bruce Brown, not much. What, is that a bit far-fetched? Surely, but we have embarked on a comparison that is crap and complicated to maneuver. Let’s cut to the chase: according to ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Bruce Brown is signing with the Nuggets for just over thirteen million dollars over two years. He earned 4.7 million with the Nets this season, and will earn 6.5 million in the 2022-23 fiscal year.. A very well-deserved financial reconsideration, supported by averages of 9 points at 51% shooting including 40% from 3-pointers, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 interception, all in 72 games played including 45 as a starter. It was emphasized without measure a little higher but, in the absence of certain executives, Bruce Brown held the house. In an offensive fulcrum role, he set up screens, concluded actions – from far and near – and created a lot on the game without the ball. An essential quality to orbit around Nikola Jokic.
Bruce Brown has agreed to a 2-year, $13M+ deal with the Denver Nuggets, sources tell ESPN.

Good striker therefore, it is however not on this side of the field that Bruce Brown is most comfortable. We are talking about a small bulldog that is tough on a man, with fast, agile hands, capable of intercepting and responding with the chest. He’s not huge (1m93) but is probably one of the most versatile guys in the NBA, as evidenced by the information of his playing positions on basketballreference : “Player, winger and guard”. Yes, if we mentioned the probable disappointment of Sean Marks for not having succeeded in keeping his soldier, what about Steve Nash? The velleda loses the handyman of its workforce, the one he could assign to any task, without ever resulting in one run opponent. For the Nuggets, after the losses of Monte Morris and Will Barton – as well as the arrival of DeAndre Jordan, who can also be placed in the box « bad news » – Calvin Booth reacted immediately by restoring its exterior sector. If Jamal Murray is still a basketball player, his association with Bruce Brown promises : an All-Star caliber striker, accompanied by his mule, bent on the systems of Mike Malone, at the total service of the collective.
Very nice pick for Denver who signs a top lieutenant, ahead of a season announced XXL by the returns of Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray. It may not always match between the two parties eh, but sincerely, we do not believe in this scenario at all.
