Summary
Denver’s cap crunch is tightening fast as they hover just under $7.8 million below the second luxury tax apron, forcing tough decisions on Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones—both vital contributors—while Bruce Brown Jr. may be next to depart. The new CBA is punishing teams that overpay, and with Tim Hardaway Jr. already gone, the Nuggets’ depth is crumbling. Their recent signings haven’t eased pressure, and shedding salary—especially Brown’s massive deal—remains elusive. With Jalen Pickett also hitting free agency, the team must act fast: trade picks, slash payroll, or brace for luxury tax pain—especially as Jokic’s next contract looms.
