Watson’s Contract Stalemate in Denver | NBA News

The Denver Nuggets are locked in a tense standoff with restricted free agent Peyton Watson, who’s demanding a $25M annual salary—far above their latest $17.5M offer on a four-year, $70M deal with a team option.

Teams like Cleveland, Milwaukee, and LA are watching closely, and a sign-and-trade may be looming as the deadline looms. This saga isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
