My guess is that DEN will sign Watson unless they can work a SNT with very little salary coming back, and its hard to imagine THAT trade given the NBA landscape.
However, once the Watson deal is resolved, I can see them working to move either Braun or Cam Johnson, to try to mitigate the tax bill to some extent.
It's possible they could even play it out until the TDL and if everyone is playing well, keep it all intact and eat the tax. Kroenke is MEGA wealthy. Given the presence of Jokic in his prime, with the clock ticking, this might be the right time for an owner to bite the bullet, because a title is perhaps in reach, and probably wont get easier in a future year.
