ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Denver is talking with multiple clubs about a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson, with Cleveland, Milwaukee and the Clippers said to have interest.
Lonnie Walker IV has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Nuggets, agent George S. Langberg told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Guard Jalen Pickett has agreed to a two-way deal with the Clippers. Pickett was selected 32nd overall in the 2023 draft by Denver out of Penn State. He played 50 games for the Nuggets last season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in about 16 minutes per game.
Restricted free agents Peyton Watson and Bennedict Mathurin are both drawing sign-and-trade interest, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports.
Denver has signed Spencer Jones to a multi-year contract. No terms disclosed.
Denver has a five-year, $70 million offer on the table for Peyton Watson, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic. Matching Oklahoma City's two-year, $12 million offer sheet for Spencer Jones pushed the Nuggets into the second apron, so keeping Watson would require roster shuffling.
Peyton Watson is considering accepting the Nuggets' qualifying offer rather than pursuing a long-term deal now.
Golden State would take on Anthony Davis from Washington, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, though the Warriors have told Jimmy Butler he is not being traded and are wary of a four-year, $212 million extension for Davis.
