ClutchPoints Insider Brett Siegel on where Peyton Watson could end up this offseason: "There has been talks of a potential sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Clippers... they have a path to doing a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson if they want to... [but the Nuggets] do not want to see... Peyton Watson leave. They are prepared to match any deal. ... I just don't see a scenario where the Nuggets are gonna let Peyton Watson go. I think that he's going to be heading back to Denver." (via "Clutch Scoops")show more

@BrettSiegelNBA Clippers need to make the $116 mill over 4 years offer to Denver. No way Denver will match this they'll be getting almost $200 mill tax bill and deep into the 2nd apron. They can use the bird rights to Matherian to sign for more than the qualifying offer Let's get it done Frank

@BrettSiegelNBA Peyton Watson's situation is similar to the situation Kuminga faced last year. He and his representation feel that he's worth way more than he's being offered.

@BrettSiegelNBA For 30M that he goes to the Clippers

@BrettSiegelNBA The key point is the tax bill the Nuggets will pay keeping Watson. It’s an economic decision. If Watson wants $25m + he is out. Clippers can and will do it due to the exemption they receive - meaning they stay under the apron. It’s a formality. Unless Watson is signing for 7mil.

@BrettSiegelNBA They aren't gonna match $27 million + @BrettSiegelNBA I highly doubt they go in the 2nd apron if they aren't getting LeBron
