The Denver Nuggets have a handful of big decisions to make this offseason, headlined by Nikola Jokic's potentially historic contract extension. One move in free agency, however, could change the trajectory of next season's team and beyond. 23-year-old wing Peyton Watson is coming off a breakout season, but after not agreeing to a contract extension last offseason, the Nuggets might have to pay this summer. Watson is entering restricted free agency, meaning Denver will have the option to match any offer he receives on the market.

Fortunately, Nuggets executives Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace are committed to doing what they can to bring Watson back.
