| 0:00.0 | Let's get to the Denver Nuggets now. |
| 0:02.5 | They did not extend Peyton Watson, who is eligible. |
| 0:05.4 | It doesn't seem like there is really much in the way of talks there. |
| 0:09.1 | Christian Braun, five years, $125 million. |
| 0:13.1 | This contract, if it came through as a restricted free agent offer sheet, I mean, with more |
| 0:20.3 | context, ignoring that. So to say, |
| 0:22.1 | we skip forward a year, don't know what happens. I would be like, okay, it's on the rich side, |

| 1:00.0 | possible that A, he shows growth this year, or B, that another team would see what he's done |
| 1:07.0 | on a successful team and make a mistake that it can transfer perfectly to what they're doing, |
| 1:11.9 | which I, you know, ground is very good in this, but you benefit from Yokic. So that to me makes |
| 1:17.7 | this an unnecessary overpay. And to me, if I were, if I were Denver and Wallace or however we |
| 1:25.2 | want to call it, Ben Tenzer and Wallace, that if this was |
