Nuggets Hold Power in Peyton Watson Race | Denver Nuggets News
Description
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.
