Bruce Brown recently won an <a href="http://nuggets">NBA Championshi</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-nuggets-set-to-give-nikola-jokic-extra-help-by-re-acquiring-a-first-round-pick-20230622-BUS-15487.html">p</a> and that made him a possible free agent as soon as the Finals were over and as the experts predicted it happened, he will now play in a new team in the upcoming 2023-2024 season.



With Brown’s departure, the Denver Nuggets lose one of their key players, he played a single season for them but that was more than enough to become a player desired by other franchises like the Pacers.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230701#BUS#21201"></div>


Bruce Brown posted strong career highest numbers during his only season with the Nuggets, 11.5 points per game, 28.5 minutes played per game, .758 free throws and a total of 80 regular season games that helped the franchise reach the finals.



<h2>How much will the Indiana Pacers pay Bruce Brown?</h2>



According to sources such as ESPN, CBS and other reports, Bruce Brown is expected to play for two years with the Indiana Pacers and his contract will be $45,000,000 during those two seasons, which translates to an average annual salary of $22,500,000.



The Indiana Pacers have not played in the postseason since the 2020-2021 season when they lost the First Round 4-0 against the Miami Heat, and the worst thing is that since 2013 the Pacers have not played in the Conference finals.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230701#BUS#21183"></div>


It is likely that Bruce Brown has decided to leave Denver for the big pay day that the Pacers are offering him since with the Nuggets he only had a player option of a little over $6m.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/rob-pelinka-reveals-the-lakers-plans-for-free-agency-20230628-BUS-19407.html">Free Agency</a> will be the most electrifying week in the NBA and begins on the last Friday of June at 6:00 PM (ET) in what some have called an unusual day for such a special event where the future of several players will be defined.



Despite the fact that the free agency week begins on the last day of June, the deals will not be signed until the last day of it, on July 6, and the worst thing is that there is a time limit to sign established at 12:01 PM (ET).


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230618#BUS#13461"></div>


The free agency week has an official name given by the NBA, it is known as the Free Agency Moratorium and during that week the league opens negotiations between the teams and the different types of free agents available to reach verbal agreements before the day of the signature.



<h2>Why does the NBA free agency start on Friday, June 30 at 6:00 PM?</h2>



Previously the Free Agency started at midnight on July 1 of each year. This year the first day of July will be Saturday, and on the other hand starting at Friday 6:00 PM (ET) gives more time for the media to start a broader coverage and fans can watch the start of it without lose a day of work



In 2024 the free agency will start on July 1, which will be Sunday, on that occasion there will be no type of modification and therefore everything will return to normal. It’s much easier for some fans to stay up from 6:00 PM while deals and talks take place.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230630#BUS#21019"></div>


The best free agents will be the focus of attention throughout the week, players are expected to sign with the franchises that offer the most money, but other players want to win an NBA ring and are willing to have low paychecks to achieve it.

But they have just made a move to bring in a star.
Seattle was expected to be one of the worst teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-San-Francisco-49ers-make-unusual-trade-for-a-kicker-20230325-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> last season after trading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-How-much-time-will-Broncos-QB-Russell-Wilson-miss-for-his-knee-surgery-20230322-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Wilson</a> to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Denver-Broncos-set-asking-price-in-potential-trade-of-WR-Jerry-Jeudy-20230325-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a>. The starting quarterback spot was going to be decided in an underwhelming battle between Smith and Drew Lock, although the results were impressive.
Smith turned his opportunity into a big pay day. The Comeback Player of the Year received a three-year deal worth 75 million dollars thanks to his performances. That gave the franchise some stability, though their recent transaction was very encouraging as well.
<h2>Seattle Seahawks sign a top free agent</h2>
The Seahawks hold the 5th overall pick that was originally owned by the Broncos. While some may think it’s a great opportunity to grab a young signal-caller, their competitive approach will likely lead them to an elite defensive player. On Saturday they added a key piece to improve that unit before the draft.
Seattle agreed to a deal with linebacker Bobby Wagner. It is a one-year contract worth seven million dollars, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score. The future Hall of Famer was an irreplaceable part of the Seahawks that won Super Bowl XLVIII, so his presence there will be impactful since day one.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Top-candidates-to-receive-the-franchise-tag-20230223-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> could have a lot of quarterbacks changing teams in the offseason. There are already a lot of stories written about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Aaron-Rodgers-gets-piece-of-advise-from-Jets-legend-Darrelle-Revis-20230227-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> leaving the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Packers-want-Aaron-Rodgers-back-in-2023-but-under-one-big-condition-20230223-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a>, although he isn’t even a free agent. Now a new name joined the list of signal-callers that are switching uniforms.
There are a couple of them that will certainly play somewhere else compared to last season. The main one is former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Las-Vegas-Raiders-Josh-Jacobs-picks-his-favorite-QB-to-replace-Derek-Carr-20230211-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> player <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Former-Raiders-QB-Derek-Carr-sets-his-contract-expectations-20230224-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Derek Carr</a>. Some of the potential landing spots are the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Jets-Hall-of-Famer-thinks-Aaron-Rodgers-would-ruin-the-team-20230226-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Jets</a>, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Las-Vegas-Raiders-grant-Derek-Carr-permission-to-visit-another-team-amid-trade-rumors-20230207-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Saints</a>, or the Carolina Panthers.
He will have some competition in that regard. Another starter ready to move on is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Potential-destinations-for-Jimmy-Garoppolo-20230222-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a>, but his future seems a bit more uncertain. The passer that was just released is not at that level, although it could be a bridge option for some teams developing a young quarterback.
<h2>Who is the new quarterback available in free agency?</h2>
Monday had the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-How-much-could-the-Washington-Commanders-cost-20221224-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Commanders</a> cutting ties with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Commanders-make-an-unexpected-decision-about-Carson-Wentzs-future-20230227-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carson Wentz</a> in a very predictable move. There are some players that turn into cap casualties regardless of how they performed, but in this case both things are true. The former n°2 overall pick Marcus Mariota became an unrestricted free agent after being released by the Atlanta Falcons.
He was signed last offseason following the Matt Ryan trade to the Indianapolis Colts, although he wasn’t the answer at quarterback. Atlanta didn’t need cap space, but they created an extra 12 million for releasing someone they weren’t going to use. Mariota could continue his journey as a backup of a team that is trying to buy some time for a developing player.

The offseason is the time when front offices made the most important decisions of the franchise. Right now the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Giants-QB-Daniel-Jones-requests-to-be-paid-as-much-as-Patrick-Mahomes-20230220-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Giants</a> are in contract extension talks with their top offensive players, but they will also get rid of someone in that unit on March 15. Releasing Kenny Golladay right when the new league year begins wasn’t surprising.
There are far more relevant things to handle for New York at this point. Extending <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Potential-destinations-for-Daniel-Jones-20230221-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Jones</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NFL-Rumors-Potential-destinations-for-Saquon-Barkley-20230222-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saquon Barkley</a> are topics that require full attention. The quarterback had a breakout year under new head coach Brian Daboll and the running back showed his best version since he entered the league.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Top-candidates-to-receive-the-franchise-tag-20230223-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">They are both top candidates to receive the franchise tag</a> in case they can’t get a deal done. Only one of them could get it, so the team needed to clear cap space for at least one new contract. Golladay was an obvious piece leaving the roster.
<h2>Kenny Golladay’s salary with the New York Giants</h2>
Investing big in free agency doesn’t always have good results. The Giants can tell that by their own experience based on what happened with the wide receiver. Golladay signed a massive four-year contract worth 72 million dollars coming from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Rams-CB-Jalen-Ramsey-responds-to-the-rumors-of-a-potential-trade-to-the-Detroit-Lions-20230221-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Detroit Lions</a>. His performances on the field were very far from the high expectations he had.
Now he will be cut to clear 6.7 million in the salary cap. The WR will end up making a total of 40.4 million in two years in New York, according to Spotrac. He finished his stay there with 43 catches for 602 yards and one touchdown in 26 games, starting 18 of those. That means splitting his numbers will mean each of the few contributions was very expensive.
Golladay then made $2,244,444 per start, $939,535 per catch, or $67,109 per yard gained through the air. He played 666 snaps on offense in 2021 and 261 in 2022 for a combined 927 snaps in a Giants uniform, per Pro Football Reference. To make it look even worse, New York paid him $43,581 per snap.

The quarterback carousel has been going since the season ended. There are a lot of names that could be suiting up in a different uniform later this year, although one of them will surely do so. That’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Derek-Carr-may-draw-interest-from-a-new-and-surprising-NFC-team-20230221-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Derek Carr</a> being now an unrestricted free agent.

This decision was made on February 14, so the player has been a free agent since then. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-RB-Josh-Jacobs-sends-strong-message-to-Las-Vegas-Raiders-about-the-franchise-tag-20230204-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas</a> signal-caller doesn’t need to wait for the new league year to begin to sign with another team.
Carr is taking his time to decide his destination, though. He had a visit with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Las-Vegas-Raiders-grant-Derek-Carr-permission-to-visit-another-team-amid-trade-rumors-20230207-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Saints</a> before being released, but he also did that with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Not-only-Aaron-Rodgers-Jets-believe-another-QB-could-lead-them-to-a-Super-Bowl-20230220-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Jets</a> a few days ago. Now the question that remains unanswered is the salary he will be asking for.
<h2>How much could Derek Carr make as a free agent?</h2>
Finding the right quarterback is the main task for every team. This free agency will also have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Two-surprising-teams-emerge-as-potential-landing-spots-for-Jimmy-Garoppolo-20230204-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a>, although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Geno-Smith-could-have-huge-offer-to-leave-the-Seattle-Seahawks-20230218-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Geno Smith</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Top-candidates-to-receive-the-franchise-tag-20230223-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Jones</a> could join depending on what their franchises do. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-2023-free-agent-QB-wants-to-replace-Aaron-Rodgers-at-Packers-20230222-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> is not available to go anywhere else by his own, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Green-Bay-Packers-make-final-decision-on-RB-Aaron-Jones-20230217-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> may be ready to trade him. In any case, signing any of these players will not be cheap.
Carr will be asking for at least $35 million per year, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN. The structure of the contract regarding guarantees or extension aren’t known yet, though that salary would put him in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Giants-QB-Daniel-Jones-requests-to-be-paid-as-much-as-Patrick-Mahomes-20230220-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top 10 in annual average value</a>. He would be ninth tied with Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings and right behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Honors-2023-Dallas-Cowboys-QB-Dak-Prescott-picks-his-favorite-to-win-the-Super-Bowl-20230209-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dak Prescott</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Ezekiel-Elliotts-agents-set-date-to-put-a-price-on-Dallas-Cowboys-RB-20230218-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>.

Sometimes a player decides not to took his deal because they want more money or they want a longer deal. However, the question about what the player option isstill remains.
<h2>What does the player option means in the NBA?</h2>
According to the NBA’s official website, aplayer option grants the player the power to decide whether to stay for another year or become an unrestricted free agent. If a player has a three-year contract with an option for the fourth season, that means if the option is exercised, the contract extends through the fourth season.
If the option is not exercised, then the contract ends after the third season. The player, then becomes an unrestricted free agent.Once an option is exercised it cannot be revoked; meaningthe player can’t change their mind of the option once they exercise it.
Conditional player options are not allowed, which means the option cannot be contingent on something like number of games played, team wins or scoring average. There can be only one option year, except in the case of rookie-scale contracts. For rookie-scale contracts for first-round picks, those contain a team option beforeboththe third and fourth seasons. Finally, option years cannot have a lower salary than the previous season.
