LeBron or Watson Denver's Tough Choice | Denver News

LeBron James joining the Nuggets? Picture this: King James and Jokic dominating the court together—internet-breaking highlights, SportsCenter’s new obsession. But here’s the twist: even at 41, LeBron’s salary demands might be too steep for Denver’s current finances. Meanwhile, the Nuggets’ own cap management feels messy—letting Tim Hardaway Jr. go despite his ring pursuit, while other players eat up salary space. The real focus? Restricted free agent Peyton Watson. His athleticism and growth make him invaluable. With West Coast teams clearing cap space, Denver must match any offer—or risk losing him. Priority: keep Watson. If not, sign-and-trade him for assets. The goal? Build a younger, tougher roster—and LeBron, even at his age, could be the missing piece.
