Signing Spencer Jones 1st wasn't the plan
Denver wanted Watson signed FIRST to avoid the 2nd apron. OKC’s 48-hr clock forced their hand and killed Denver's flexibility.
Can no longer stack Cam+Zeke to dump salary
Can’t take back matching cash in a Watson S&T
OKC Boxed them in
Denver may want Watson on the QO so they can handle the tax now and drop 4 yrs/$100M on him next year. Huge risk for both sides though—Watson risks $70M in guaranteed money, and Denver risks him playing his way completely out of their price range, Denver also loses all leverage.
Nikola Jokic has won the most prestigious horse race in Serbia for the 2nd straight year 🏇
'Delicious Gar,' Jokic's new star horse, is now on a 4-race winning streak.
Last year it was 'Demon Dell'Est' from Jokic's Dream Catcher stable who won the Dužijanca.

@JMurrayWrld Klutch know he potentially be worth 30+ if he balls out this season. Mega mega risk it’s clearly a bluff and if u get a CB type season it’s done for, Watson already bet on himself this year move is to take the 4 year 25 a year go player option after 3 and get mega check after
Loved what Presti did to Denver with the Spencer Jones offer sheet, never understood why NBA teams are always so eager to help everyone else out. This was an Auerbach-like old-school cutthroat “we are trying to F over a competitor” move. And OKC actually needed a D wing.
