Jonas Valanciunas says exactly what Nuggets wanted to hear after trade saga

Nobody believed ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania when he reported that the Denver Nuggets traded Dario Šariu0107 to the Kings for Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas. It was even harder to believe that it was a player swap, with Denver not giving up anything more than Šariu0107. The optimism didn't last for long, though, as Valanu010diu016bnas thought about leaving the NBA to play in Greece.

It's been weeks since all of that was cleared up, and at media day on Monday, Valanu010diu016bnas reaffirmed his commitment to doing whatever it takes to win in Denver. He said that he's "comfortable" and "happy" to be in Denver, and that if he weren't, he wouldn't be there.
