The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed Denver Nuggets forward Spencer Jones to a two-year, $6 million contract, which the Nuggets are unlikely to match due to salary cap restrictions. The Thunder aimed to create space by trading players like Lu Dort and Isaiah Joe throughout the offseason. With the Nuggets facing penalties under the second apron and only $4 million away from its threshold, they may struggle to retain both Jones and fellow restricted free agent Peyton Watson. The Nuggets have a day to respond to the offer, but their ability to match hinges on finding a way to shed salary from their current roster.
