Summary
Oklahoma City Thunder just dropped a bombshell by offering Spencer Jones a two-year, $12M guaranteed deal — and Denver’s stuck in a tough spot. Jones, a lockdown wing who lit up the playoffs with 69% shooting from deep, is a perfect fit for OKC’s needs. But matching the offer would push Denver over the luxury tax apron and trigger the repeater tax, costing them more than $6M annually. Worse, it could force them to let go of another key restricted free agent, Peyton Watson. OKC’s move? Pure chess — forcing Denver’s hand whether they want to or not.
