Valanciunas officially arrived in Greece! He left the NBA with a sharp salary cut, and Lake Record took the opportunity to fire at Jokic

On July 5, the NBA entered the offseason. According to European media reports, Valanciunas has officially arrived in Athens, Greece and will be with Panasinaikos. He will give up his NBA salary in the new season, and Lakers reporters took this opportunity to sarcastically speak out to Jokic.

According to previous reports, in a previous transaction, the Nuggets King made a transaction, and the king sent Valancius to the Nuggets for Saric. However, Valanciunas had no intention of playing for the Nuggets. He chose to return to Europe to play. The Nuggets tried to persuade him but it did not affect the deal between the Kings and the Nuggets about Valanciunas' single-for-Sarric. European media reported earlier today that Valanciunas had officially arrived in Athens, where he underwent a medical examination and conducted in-depth negotiations. It is expected to sign a contract with Panasinakos. It should be noted that Valanciunas is willing to give up all his salary in the Nuggets in order to leave the NBA. Valanciunas' contract with the Nuggets is about $23.4 million ($10.395 million, $10 million) for two years, of which the second year is insured. Panasinacos provides Valanciunas with a three-year contract worth 12 million euros (about 14.1 million US dollars).

According to famous reporter Marc Stein, Valanciunas has wanted to terminate his NBA contract and join Panasinaikos since the Denver Nuggets traded him from Sacramento on Sunday. Marc Stein also added that for the Nuggets, they can also gain some comfort: they can get a full middle class special case (worth $14.1 million).

Regarding this matter, Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin fired at Jokic on social media. He wrote: "The key to the question is whether Valanciunas gave up money and chose to play in Europe will make people believe that Jokic is a bad teammate? I really can't find any other reason."
