Nuggets Face Tough Choice on Spencer Jones | Denver Nuggets News

Denver’s offseason just got a lot more complicated as the Oklahoma City Thunder swooped in with a lucrative 12M two-year offer for Spencer Jones — a breakout shooter and solid defender — forcing the Nuggets to decide by Sunday night whether to match. With their luxury tax already perilously close to the second apron, matching could push their tax bill to over $68M, and adding Peyton Watson could balloon it to a staggering $238M. With no room to maneuver and key players still unsigned, Denver faces a brutal choice: shed salary via trades or watch Jones — and possibly Watson — walk to a rival team, leaving them with a weaker bench and a heavier tax burden.

OKC Targets Jones, Forces Denver’s Hand | Denver Nuggets News

Oklahoma City Thunder just dropped a bombshell by offering Spencer Jones a two-year, $12M guaranteed deal — and Denver’s stuck in a tough spot. Jones, a lockdown wing who lit up the playoffs with 69% shooting from deep, is a perfect fit for OKC’s needs. But matching the offer would push Denver over the luxury tax apron and trigger the repeater tax, costing them more than $6M annually. Worse, it could force them to let go of another key restricted free agent, Peyton Watson. OKC’s move? Pure chess — forcing Denver’s hand whether they want to or not.

Spencer Jones Signs With Thunder | Denver Nuggets News

Spencer Jones, the undrafted sharpshooter who’s been lighting up the three-point line for the Nuggets, is headed to Oklahoma City on a fully guaranteed $12M deal — and Denver has until Sunday to match. At just 25, Jones averaged 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 22 minutes per game while hitting 40% of his deep shots. The Thunder, having shed key shooters to stay under the cap, see him as the perfect fit to fill that void. Meanwhile, Denver’s got another restricted free agent, Peyton Watson, demanding a $28M/year payday — making this offseason a high-stakes chess match for the Nuggets.

David Roddy Heads Overseas | Denver Nuggets News

David Roddy’s fiery finish to the season has landed him overseas with Hapoel Jerusalem, sparking fan frenzy and jersey requests after his standout performances against the Thunder and Spurs. While Jonas Valanciunas’ departure to Zalgiris Kaunas was expected, Roddy’s exit stings more for the Nuggets faithful — especially since his energy and grit seemed to fill a void. Despite his solid stats and undeniable passion, Roddy’s undersized frame and salary made him expendable after the team signed Trevon Brazile. This move could be a career booster for Roddy, offering a chance to extend his NBA dreams — for now, his Nuggets chapter is officially closed.
