Barton was tendered a qualifying offer by the Nuggets on Tuesday, Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders reports.

Analysis:

The offer designated Barton as a restricted free agent this offseason, providing the Nuggets the right to match any offer he may receive from another team. The former Memphis standout has shown flashes of his ability to play in transition and defend at a high level, but he's not likely to garner an overly lucrative offer, making it likely that he remains in Denver next season.
