Summary
Denver’s offseason just got a lot more complicated as the Oklahoma City Thunder swooped in with a lucrative 12M two-year offer for Spencer Jones — a breakout shooter and solid defender — forcing the Nuggets to decide by Sunday night whether to match. With their luxury tax already perilously close to the second apron, matching could push their tax bill to over $68M, and adding Peyton Watson could balloon it to a staggering $238M. With no room to maneuver and key players still unsigned, Denver faces a brutal choice: shed salary via trades or watch Jones — and possibly Watson — walk to a rival team, leaving them with a weaker bench and a heavier tax burden.
