Would Peyton Watson really take the qualifying offer? And the latest Nuggets free agency rumblings

Spencer Jones is signed after the Nuggets matched the Thunder’s offer sheet, so what does that mean for Peyton Watson’s contract and how Denver approaches his negotiation. Marc Stein reported about the Nuggets initial offers to Watson and that Watson could take the qualifying offer. Is that really on the table, and what are the other latest free agent rumblings?

  1. 10:15 the more time goes by you see things in perspective. PW had a great couple of months in the middle of the season against a few good teams, a few bad teams. Does two months equal thirty million dollars. What about the three years before that?
    That's a lot of gamble for an unknown future.

  3. Great episode boys I so appreciate the continued content in the offseason yall are the real goats fr 🙏🏻 I know i can be a bit of a live chat terrorist just saying usually aggressive BS but I’m really just venting. I straight up would not be a nuggets fan without this channel never been a sports kind of guy so I’m still getting use to the vibes yknow 😂

  4. I love the Nuggets fan but I have to wonder why we never discuss the lack of rim protection. The team relies so much on the Jokic offense he cannot afford to get in foul trouble. Everyone knows this and goes right at him in the paint. Is there a solution to this?

  5. The Nuggets need to move Nnaji's contract to another team. Buy two or three second-round picks and send him, along with two picks, to the Hornets, Bucks or Nets. I don't know if this is legal, but buy the picks from the team you're going to trade Nnaji to. They would get the money, their picks back, and Nnaji. This would get you out of second apron.

    Offer Payton Watson a three-year deal worth $20 million, $23 million, and $25 million. If he doesn't want to sign, trade him for picks, then use one of those picks to acquire Naji Marshall. Trade Holmes for two 2nd round picks.

    If Payton does sign, try to trade CB and include one or two more second-round picks. Again, try to make some arrangements with Dallas for Naji Marshall or with the Clippers for Jones Jr.

  12. Just want to note that if the owners weren’t trying to be cheap and duck the tax last year, they could have signed Spencer to probably an even better contract for the upcoming two years. But since ownership is cheap and incompetent and is trying to pretend like they can’t afford to keep the team together, they continue to make shortsighted decisions.
