The Denver Nuggets may finally shed Zeke Nnaji’s bloated contract, with the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly eyeing a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson. Nnaji’s four-year deal, costing $8M annually and dragging Denver over the NBA’s luxury tax apron, has become a thorn in their side. Drafted 22nd in 2020, his production has declined since his sophomore year, making him a tough asset to move — until now. With two seasons left and a player option in 2027-28, Nnaji is owed nearly $15M. The Nuggets, who’ve stocked up on frontcourt talent via draft picks and signings, are eager to move on. If this deal falls through, they’ll be stuck with him until 2028 — but this could be their best shot yet to finally cut ties.
