Keeler: Bruce Brown got money too dumb to turn down. Now Christian Braun can make Nuggets look like smartest guys in the room. Again.

Bruce Brown is a reliable condiment-making entrée money. But like ranch dressing and ketchup, the man goes with almost everything. And everyone.We’re happy for you, Brucey B. Honest. Conventional wisdom said the Nuggets’ do-everything former sixth man would land a bag around double the $7.8 million max that Denver could offer for ’23-24. Indiana tripled it.BB11 did what 98.6% of us would do in the same situation. Having bet on himself last summer, and won a ring in the process, this time he took the cash upfront.After making $15 million over his first five seasons in the league, the Pacers guaranteed Brown a whopping $45 million for the next two, including a reported $21.95 million in ’23-24 with a club option to follow.It’s a short career and a long life. Brucey went from a parade to plentitude in about 15 days. Which is a pretty dang good fortnight, no matter how you slice it.The greatest compliment you could leave BB11 is the way he made the tough stuff look easy. The second-grea...
