The Denver Nuggets turned a non-rotation player into a backup center when they traded Dario Šariu0107 to the Kings for Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas. Sacramento wanted to rid itself of Valanu010diu016bnas' salary to make room for none other than Dennis Schroder, so off Šariu0107 went.
There was a question of whether Valanu010diu016bnas would actually play in Denver, but as the Nuggets expected, he is honoring his contract. Valanu010diu016bnas' commitment to help Denver in its quest to win another championship silenced the speculation that he'd force his way out of the NBA to play in Greece.
So, just like that, the Nuggets have one of the best backup bigs in the league, and all it took was Šariu0107, who signed a two-year deal with Denver last summer.
