## Resource

Peyton Watson’s contract projections are soaring—$20M to $25M annually—but analysts like Bill Simmons are raising eyebrows, arguing his standout stretch was just 6-8 weeks and questioning if the market is overpaying for players in that range. Denver, already navigating financial constraints and a questionable Christian Braun extension, faces a tough decision as a restricted free agent. With the luxury tax looming and limited full-season data, the Nuggets may push back on inflated offers. July’s free agency could reveal whether Watson’s payday lands closer to Simmons’ skepticism—or if hype wins out. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
