The cheapskate Denver Nuggets have opted to sign-and-trade restricted free agent forward Peyton Watson as part of a five-team exchange.
Sources inform Shams Charania of ESPN that Denver is inking Watson to a four-season, $88 million contract and flipping him to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Oft-hurt Cavaliers wing Max Strus is being salary-dumped to the L.A. Clippers. The Nuggets are receiving an unprotected 2031 Cleveland first-round pick and a 2032 Sacramento Kings second-rounder.
Watson’s new agreement also includes a player option and a trade kicker, Charania reports. Chris Haynes of NBA TV indicates that two other teams will be looped into the trade.
After Akron native LeBron James opted to sign on to the star-studded Philadelphia 76ers on a veteran’s minimum two-year, $8 million deal, Cleveland has finally landed its frontcourt upgrade.
Next up: figuring out the contract of 37-year-old free agent point guard James Harden. Although he’s not quite in MVP form anymore, and his playoff warts seem to get exposed every spring, he’s certainly a solid scorer and playmaker who can elevate the Cavaliers’ floor in the regular season.
