Summary
Denver Nuggets eye major roster shifts ahead of the 2026-27 season as they look to rebuild after three straight first-round exits. Peyton Watson’s breakout year has made him a hot commodity, but keeping him could push the team over the luxury tax. To make room, rumors swirl that either Cameron Johnson or Christian Braun could be traded — with the Lakers and Warriors reportedly eyeing them for wing depth. Johnson, on an expiring $23M deal and a reliable 40% 3PT shooter, seems the more likely target, while Braun’s recent extension adds complexity. The Nuggets may sacrifice depth to keep Watson — the versatile, tall wing every team covets — and stay competitive without breaking the bank.
