The Denver Nuggets intend to match any offer sheet for restricted free agent Peyton Watson after the NBA’s moratorium ends, but they are considering sign-and-trade options if negotiations with his agent, Rich Paul, do not progress. The Clippers and Nets have the cap space to sign Watson, with the Clippers showing interest amidst their own negotiations. Watson, a key contributor last season, averaged 14.6 points and emerged as a vital player from the 2022 draft class. Despite speculation about salary shedding, Nuggets ownership has not directed the front office to cut costs, especially as they pursue LeBron James.
