Cavs Pull Off Bold Watson Trade | Cleveland Cavaliers News
Description
Cleveland just pulled off a blockbuster sign-and-trade, landing star shooter Peyton Watson in a four-year, $88M deal while sending Max Strus to the Clippers. In return, they shipped out future picks and Julian Reese, with Denver and Charlotte also getting assets — including Dennis Schroder and cash. Watson’s elite shooting (41% from three last year) and playmaking make him a perfect fit for Cleveland’s second unit. The move also cleared salary space for James Harden’s massive three-year, $97M re-signing — pushing his career earnings past $500M. Now hard-capped, Cleveland has no more tradable first-rounders and few assets left to upgrade their roster. It’s a bold, high-stakes gamble — analysts say: “It has to be good enough.”
