* Peyton Watson, a player for the Denver Nuggets, has been offered a new contract that would pay him about $70 million over four years.
* However, he is thinking about a different choice: taking a one-year contract for a smaller amount of money. If he does this, he could become a free agent next year and maybe get a much bigger contract then.
* This decision is tricky for both Watson and the Nuggets because it affects how much money the team has to spend on other players.
