Vlatko Cancar Rumors

During an appearance on the DNVR Denver Nuggets Podcast on Thursday, the 28-year-old Slovenian power forward talked about his departure from the Denver Nuggets and the process leading to a deal with the EuroLeague club. “After the season and before the free-agency, I was kind of talking with my agent, and then I was asking, ‘What’s going on with Denver?’. Unfortunately, they came out with the news, kind of like a remodeling, but not really a remodeling type of thing. They wanted to say thank you for everything that you did, but they’re trying to move on now and bring some new energy, some new players. And then I accepted it,” he said, “I’m glad I was part of the team for six years. For me, it was OK.”
