In the second round of tiebreak, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder 93-125 away, and were eliminated 3-4 in a big score.
According to famous reporters BobbyMarks and Sam Amico, the salaries of the four main players Jokic, Murray, Porter and Gordon account for 82% of the Nuggets' team. The Nuggets will pay luxury taxes for four consecutive seasons. Murray's new contract renewal (208 million in four years, with a starting salary of 46.4 million) will take effect next season. At present, the Nuggets' salary will once again exceed the first tycoon line. The special cases of player transactions they use in the transaction must not exceed 100%, and the current luxury tax bill reaches a team-time high of $36 million after the duplicate luxury tax penalty.
Specifically, the Nuggets currently have 13 players in the contract period, but young players such as Pickett, Watson and Strauser are all in the rookie contract period. Speaking of the starting five tigers that the Nuggets rely so much on, it may be necessary to renew Jokic early; Braun can renew the contract with the Nuggets in advance and sign a contract of up to five years, Marks believes that Porter's future in the Nuggets may determine the direction of Braun.
If Westbrook rejects the $3.3 million player option and signs with a veteran's basic salary, the Nuggets can save a little money. Westbrook and Saric can choose to renew their contracts for the season by June 29.
