The Nuggets are in a tough spot and are now opening up to trading him in a sign a trade. If they get a premium package. Peyton on the Rockets would look nice
I didn’t watch enough Denver games last year to understand why his potential trade value so high? so maybe he is that good? Would he be worth Vanvleet and a couple picks?
He went on a shooting and scoring binge that was ended by a hammy. That made teams look at him differently. Nuggets have a couple of months to make a trade so it should be no surprise their initial asking price is high. I don't think he can maintain the shooting, but he's young and you just never know.
Always tough to judge Denver players. They got Jokic which is a one of a kind offensive presence. Also, light air gives them a better homecourt advantage.
This is disgraceful from Denver. They can easily re sign him if they wanted to. They're not even at the 2nd apron yet, it's just the tax. Wasting Jokic's prime.
Denver is like 3 million from the second apron. Since they are in the repeater tax everyone dollar over is another 7 to the tax or something like that. I saw on Twitter if they signed Peyton staring at 25 million. They are looking at a 177 million dollar tax bill alone. Real tough spot
