Nuggets mailbag: Will Denver trade a starter to make room for Peyton Watson contract extension?

Denver Post Nuggets beat writer Bennett Durando opens up the Nuggets Mailbag periodically during the season. You can submit a Nuggets- or NBA-related question here.

Peyton Watson has shown that he can defend, block shots, shoot 3s and create his own shots. Most experts seem to think his value will be too high, and the Nuggets will lose him to free agency. I might argue that his ceiling is higher than Christian Braun and perhaps Cam Johnson. Could the Nuggets trade one of them to create cap space to sign Watson?
