Peyton Watson’s Contract Surprise
Description
Peyton Watson’s free agency outlook just flipped — once rumored to land a $20M/year deal, he’s now a potential steal for the Nuggets if they can keep him at a reasonable price. Bill Simmons questioned the hype, citing Christian Braun’s messy extension as a cautionary tale. Watson’s January surge — averaging nearly 22 points, shooting lights-out from three, and locking down defensively while Jokic was out — proved his value, even if briefly. While the Lakers and others may bid, the Nuggets need him as their starting wing next season, especially with his age (turning 24) and that breakout stretch hinting at something bigger. A little luck, and they could lock him down at a steal.
