Nuggets Hold Power in Peyton Watson Race | Denver Nuggets News
About this episode
The episode discusses Peyton Watson's restricted free agency and the Denver Nuggets' options regarding his contract.
Peyton Watson’s future remains in Denver’s hands as the Nuggets hold the reins in his restricted free agency, with no other team yet making a move. A sign-and-trade could unlock value for both sides—Watson gets paid, Denver gets assets instead of losing him for nothing. But cap gymnastics are key: signing Watson would push them over the second apron, forcing them to move salary first or risk penalties. With around $3M in space, Denver could strike a deal with a team that takes back less than that to stay under the limit. Watson’s asking price? $25–30M annually, backed by a stellar season. The Nuggets can wait—and still win. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
