The Denver Nuggets have been paying a premium this season, with several contracts that outpace the expected production level. Across 5 contracts, 1 grade out as good value and 3 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Spencer Jones (A) at $0.6M/yr. The priciest commitment relative to production was Tyus Jones (D) at $0.5M/yr. Cap flexibility could become a concern if these contracts don't produce at the expected level.
