The Denver Nuggets went through a tough August concerning one of their key players from last season and one talking point is about how they might have overpaid Christian Braun instead of another player.
The Denver Nuggets went through a tough August concerning one of their key players from last season, while another talking point has emerged about whether they may have overpaid Christian Braun instead of retaining another player.
Peyton Watson is no longer a Nugget after completing a sign-and-trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He signed a four-year, $88 million contract, which is well within the range of what he had been demanding from his previous team.
The Nuggets tried their best to keep him. However, their financial situation was not ideal, leaving them with their hands tied. They are the only team in the league in the second apron, making it seemingly impossible to meet Watson's contract demands.
The Nuggets had already made a major commitment before Watson's departure. In October 2025, they signed Braun to a five-year, $125 million extension.
