## Resource

Peyton Watson’s future with the Nuggets hangs in the balance as he enters restricted free agency, with the Clippers, Hawks, and now the Bucks all circling. After a breakout season with career highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals — especially from deep — Watson is seeking a $25–30M deal, forcing Denver to weigh keeping him against the luxury tax. The Bucks are reportedly pushing hard with a sign-and-trade, offering assets Denver might find tempting, including draft picks and swaps — potentially matching what the Lakers gave up for Kessler. If Denver can’t meet his price, Watson’s next stop could be a contender ready to make a splash. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
