It’s gonna be very difficult for the Nuggets to keep Brown since they can’t get his bird rights till next summer. He’d have to take another 1+1 deal at only a 20% raise this year, then opt out again next year to get his big deal from Denver. From what he’s shown this postseason, he’s gonna get approached with a big deal this season from multiple teams. Gonna be hard to pass up - he’s already gonna be 27 entering next year, he wants to get on that first big contract then be able to sign another one in his age 31 season.

Unless the Nuggets collapse and lose the Finals, I think he’s gone.
I know Portis and Connaughton did it most recently with Milwaukee, but Bruce Brown is looking at an extra $30 million compared to them as well as a new CBA that might drive that contract lower next season if he waits. Take the bread while it's there.
