There have been a lot of projections and speculation around Christian Braun’s next contract, which will soon be the main piece of business for the Nuggets to attend to. Braun is extension eligible this month, and the team would be wise to get something done while they can, before we see another disastrous restricted free agency situation play out.
Bleacher Report recently published an article projecting contract extensions for eligible players, and that number for Braun was five years, $140 million. That would place the average annual value at $28 million a year for Braun through his age 29 season.
