Team Summary
ContenderChampionship window management under heavy apron pressure: waived Jonas Valanciunas (only $2M guaranteed, saving $8M) and let RFA Spencer Jones walk to Oklahoma City rather than absorb a ~$32M tax spike. Retained the Jokic-Murray-Gordon core, re-signed Tyus Jones on a vet minimum, and added low-cost depth in Marvin Bagley III and EuroLeague DPOY Alpha Diallo. Peyton Watson's restricted free agency remains unresolved — Denver has explored moving salary to create room to keep him. Depth is thinner than a contender wants, but a prime Jokic keeps the window open.
