The Denver Nuggets aim to reduce salary to re-sign Peyton Watson, with veteran forward Aaron Gordon attracting significant trade interest, although the team prefers to move wing Christian Braun. Gordon’s contract is worth $31.9 million for the upcoming season and $71.5 million through 2028-29. Braun is under a five-year, $125 million extension, costing $21.5 million in 2026-27. To create salary cap flexibility, the Nuggets may waive or trade Jonas Valanciunas and explore deals involving Braun or Cameron Johnson.
