Nuggets Make a Fill Out Their Roster

Nuggets sign Will Barton for 2-years/$32M, re-sign JaMychal Green for 2-years/$17M

Grades: A-

Both deals fall under the same category for the Denver Nuggets, both players declined player options, the Nuggets gave them both slight raises but tied them down for an extra year.

For Will Barton, he got a slight raise on the player option he declined for $14.7 million, and the Nuggets tying him down for an extra year. For Green, he also gets a raise on his $7.6 million option he declined and also gets an extra year with the team.

Not the flashiest moves, but ones that needed to be done for a contender. The Nuggets retained depth and will be able to keep their contending train moving.
