The Nuggets held an introductory press conference for Cam Johnson on Friday, but questions about another new addition to the team stole the headlines. Newly promoted executive, Ben Tenzer, was asked about the bizarre Jonas Valnaicunas situation, and he exhibited poise and confidence, expressing that he has no concerns about JV coming to training camp, that they’ve had great conversations about him joining the Nuggets
Tenzer even added that Jonas is excited to be a Nugget and they’ve had healthy talks about him honoring his contract in Denver. It would still be nice to hear it directly from Val, and we won’t truly be sure what’s what until we see the Lithuanian big man at training camp, but these comments certainly ease some tensions.
