## Resource

The Nuggets face a brutal cap crunch with Peyton Watson’s impending free agency, forcing tough choices between luxury tax penalties and trading key wings—despite needing depth. Their regular season showed resilience, especially against elite competition like Wembanyama’s Spurs, though playoff losses to the Wolves and close calls with the Thunder hint at playoff fragility. Watson’s contract, tied to Braun’s extension, now looms large: his defense and perimeter play are irreplaceable. Adding Spencer Jones on a minimum could fix switching woes, while Johnson’s inside game remains vital. Maybe they don’t need to upgrade at all—Watson’s absence may have been the real gap.
