Nuggets' Tax Burden Creates Pacers' Opportunity | Indiana Pacers News

The Denver Nuggets are in financial freefall, ballooning their luxury tax to $68 million after matching a $12M offer for Spencer Jones—and that’s before Peyton Watson’s new deal. With Jokic in his prime, their performance doesn’t justify the price tag. Teams like the Pacers are watching, ready to pounce on Denver’s desperation. History shows opportunistic moves pay off—like the Clippers snagging Zubac when the Lakers were desperate. Denver may trade assets like Aaron Gordon to cut costs, but the Pacers, with their draft picks and flexible contracts, are better positioned to act as trade facilitators, not just buyers, targeting players like Jarace Walker or leveraging their picks to unlock hidden value.
