Understanding the Nuggets’ next big contracts as a percentage of the salary cap

Would it be worth it for the Denver Nuggets to re-sign Danilo Gallinari to a multi-year contract averaging $23.5 million a year?

When I first started writing extensively about the Nuggets and the NBA, it was the 2005, and Kenyon Martin was Denver’s highest paid player, earning $10.
