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.

While ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday that the Denver Nuggets agreed to acquire big man Jonas Valančiūnas in exchange for Dario Šarić, the former might not play in the NBA next season.

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.
