Peyton Watson’s future, whether it’s in Denver or elsewhere, remains one of the biggest unanswered questions of the NBA offseason. Second-apron constraints and an enormous luxury tax bill has made a sign-and-trade out of Denver a real possibility as Watson’s restricted free agency drags along. On Friday, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported that the Clippers, Hawks, Bucks and Cavaliers are Watson suitors should a sign-and-trade come to fruition. Sending Watson elsewhere and taking no money back would greatly decrease the Nuggets’ tax bill. As Marks pointed out, Denver has paid a total of $53 million in tax penalties since 2002–03.
