## Resource

Christian Braun’s tight bond with MVP Nikola Jokic could be the biggest obstacle in Denver’s trade plans, as the Nuggets navigate salary cap constraints and luxury tax penalties. Braun’s $25M annual contract, paired with inconsistent production, makes him a prime candidate for trade—but Jokic’s loyalty to his favorite teammate could force the team to either pay the tax or make tough roster sacrifices, like trading Cameron Johnson, to keep their star happy. The personal connection may ultimately dictate the Nuggets’ future moves, turning a roster decision into a deeply human dilemma.
