Nuggets To Trade Peyton Watson To Cavaliers In Multi-Team Deal
Hoops Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded Tre Mann, a 2027 second-round pick, and cash to the Washington Wizards for wing Cam Whitmore, while the Wizards sent Julian Reese to the Denver Nuggets, who then waived him.
- In a three-team deal involving the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Clippers, the Nuggets traded restricted free agent Peyton Watson to Cleveland, where he will sign a four-year, $88 million contract with a player option and trade kicker.
- The Cavaliers sent Max Strus to the Clippers and received future draft picks from the Nuggets and Kings; this trade leaves Cleveland hard-capped at the first apron, limiting their salary cap flexibility.
- The Clippers added veteran wing Max Strus using a trade exception and remain under the salary apron, while also giving up draft rights and a future second-round pick as part of the deal.
- The Denver Nuggets, after trading Watson, are focusing on signing free agent DeMar DeRozan, recently waived by the Sacramento Kings.
