Peyton Watson Leaves Nuggets for Cavs | Denver Nuggets News
Description
The Denver Nuggets traded Peyton Watson to the Cavaliers in a sign-and-trade deal, landing future first and second-round picks. Though it wasn’t the ideal exit for Watson — who thanked the team, coaches, and fans for his four years, especially highlighting Jokic, Murray, and teammates for their support — the move was inevitable given Denver’s financial limits. Drafted 30th in 2022 with skepticism, Watson blossomed into a key contributor, averaging over 14 PPG last season. Now signed to an $88M deal, the Nuggets hope he doesn’t become an All-Star — or they’ll rue letting him go.
