With the NBA free agency officially kicking off, teams are scrambling to upgrade their benches and the Brooklyn Nets just lost an important role player: Bruce Brown.
Basketball insider Malika Andrews of ESPN reported that the Denver Nuggets came to a two-year agreement with Brown which will see him earn more than $13 million per year.
The fourth-year talented guard earned a major promotion, getting himself a 30 percent raise, up from $4 million from last year.
