## Resource

The Denver Nuggets are facing a high-stakes offseason decision as restricted free agent Peyton Watson, who exploded last year with 15 PPG and elite defense while Jokic was sidelined, becomes a luxury tax nightmare. With max contracts already locked in for Jokic, Murray, and Gordon, the Nuggets must choose between locking up Watson — potentially forcing a trade of Cam Johnson — or letting him walk. As free agency winds down and LeBron’s move to Denver seems off the table, the pressure mounts: Watson’s value demands big money, but the team’s financial ceiling makes every dollar count.
