While it was reported that the Nuggets had offered Watson $70 million over four years, another report suggests the team is willing to pay that amount over five years. This is a far cry from the $25 million Watson was reportedly seeking. The Nuggets are looking to get back under the second apron, and Watson has the option to accept his qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent next summer. If he performs poorly or sustains an injury, Watson could potentially lose even more money next summer due to poor play or injury.
