The Nuggets are throwing yet another dart at the board, hoping it finally lands on an effective backup center. Only difference this time? The new guy has been a starting center for most of his career.

Valanciunas landed with the Kings in a February trade with the Washington Wizards that sent Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks. He appeared in 32 games for the Kings, starting in nine.

The Sacramento Kings are trading center Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Tuesday. Valanciunas, 33, has two years and around $20 million left on his deal while Saric is on an expiring contract.
