The Denver Nuggets are signing 2023 first-round pick Cam Whitmore on a two-way NBA deal, sources tell ESPN. Whitmore enters his fourth NBA season after averaging 10.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 119 career games -- and has already joined the Nuggets for workouts in Denver.

The Denver Nuggets reportedly want two first-round picks in any trade for Peyton Watson, per @JakeLFischer “One source briefed on Watson's situation said Monday that they see the Bucks as the most likely external suitor to swipe Watson away from Denver. The Nuggets' overall financial outlook certainly became a bit more complicated after their decision Sunday night to match Oklahoma City's two-year, $12 million offer sheet to restricted free agent Spencer Jones, which hauled Denver into the second apron. Sources say Denver is still holding out for the equivalent of at least two first-round picks in any sign-and-trade in which it loses Watson.” (Via

The Lakers, Heat, Clippers, Celtics, and Magic have shown interest in Cam Johnson, per @MikeAScotto “Meanwhile, as the Nuggets navigate getting below the second apron, sharpshooting forward Cam Johnson has drawn trade interest from several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, and Orlando Magic, league sources told HoopsHype. The 30-year-old forward shot career-highs from the field (.480) and beyond the arc (.430), and is on an expiring $23.06 million contract for the upcoming season.” (Via

The Nuggets are planning to pursue Bogdan Bogdanovic in free agency, providing Nikola Jokic one of his favorite Olympic teammates, per @Eurohoopsnet. The Clippers will decline Bogdanovic’s team option, which makes him an unrestricted free agent.

Behind the hot shooting of "Super" John Williamson and lockdown defense, the Nets outscored the Nuggets 34–14 in the fourth quarter to come back and secure their second ABA title in three years.

Peyton Watson reportedly wants the Nuggets to give him a higher salary than Christian Braun, per @TheSteinLine “Denver's initial offers to restricted free agent Peyton Watson, league sources say, have been in the $16-to-18 million range in terms of annual average value. Watson, of course, is known to be seeking a deal with a richer per-season salary than teammate Christian Braun's five-year, $125 million rookie scale contract extension that Braun secured last October.” (Via
