We're probably still weeks away from a meaningful resolution on Peyton Watson's ongoing standoff with the Denver Nuggets. Fortunately for everyone involved, there does seem to be a measure of sparks flying around in the negotiation process with the restricted free agent.
Tucked away in a Shams Charania report that the Nuggets would be signing free-agent guard Lonnie Walker IV is the note that Denver is engaging in active sign-and-trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and L.A. Clippers. It was previously noted that the Nuggets are looking for at least one quality rotation player and a first-round draft pick in exchange for Watson. At the moment, these seem to be the only teams keenly interested in acquiring Watson. Though, none of them have yet to submit a formal offer sheet that would require the Nuggets to respond within 48 hours.
Still, the mere implication that Denver is at least somewhat listening in sign-and-trade conversations means this whole situation finally appears to have some good forward momentum. Be it in Watson leaving Denver or obtaining enough leverage to get the contract he wants from the Nuggets.
More from ESPN:
The Nuggets remain in active trade talks with multiple teams on a potential Watson sign-and-trade, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers, sources told ESPN. Watson also holds a one-year, $6.5 million qualifying offer that would make him an unrestricted free agent next summer.
