* Peyton Watson had a really good year playing for the Denver Nuggets, scoring lots of points and helping his team. Now, he wants a new contract that pays him more than his teammate Christian Braun.
* The Nuggets want to keep their best players, like Nikola Jokic, to win more games. But they also need to make sure they have enough other players on the team, and Peyton Watson is an important part of that plan.
* Peyton Watson is a restricted free agent, which means the Nuggets can try to match any offer he gets from another team. It would be a big mistake for the Nuggets if he went to play for another team like the Los Angeles Clippers.
