The Cleveland Cavaliers did it. They went out and acquired Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets and for what price?
Max Strus, who is not so bad of a shot maker but Watson favors to be a solid wing with a boat load of potential.
Last year, while Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, and Nikola Jokic sat out, Watson took over in his third season with 14 PPG and 4.9 REB and helped the Nuggets win critical basketball games. Now, the restricted free agent righteously earned a 4 year, $88 million deal with the Cavaliers to play alongside a steady James Harden and star-studded Donovan Mitchell.
The Cavaliers have the best potential to be a reckoning machine as long as they stay the course. Last year, they finished in the ECF without any ease and can use the comfort of Watson.
Watson was highly coveted this offseason. The Nuggets had a chance at Watson but they took the big provider in Spencer Jones instead and matched his offer with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Watson has the speed, shot, and athleticism to contribute and he is only going to improve.
