The Denver Nuggets may have a burgeoning financial issue on their hands.
Sitting roughly $400,000 over the luxury tax, the Nuggets have some financial concerns heading into February’s NBA Trade Deadline. They also have tax apron concerns for the following season with Christian Braun’s contract kicking in and Peyton Watson in line for an extension.
Do the Nuggets address those concerns in the offseason? Or do they make a proactive trade in February ahead of one of the most pivotal playoff runs in franchise history?
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Denver Nuggets blowout loss vs the Atlanta Hawks without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and other key players. He also shares some important salary cap concerns facing Denver and why that has potential to cause a trade before the NBA trade deadline.
