Nuggets discuss trades for Peyton Watson with multiple teams

The Denver Nuggets are engaged in trade discussions with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, and LA Clippers regarding restricted free agent Peyton Watson. Watson holds a one-year, $6.5 million qualifying offer, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Nuggets seek at least one first-round pick and a notable player in any sign-and-trade scenario. The Bucks and Clippers have shown significant interest, though a resolution may not occur until early September. Additionally, the Cavaliers are exploring trades for other forwards, including Jonathan Kuminga, complicating the situation further.
