New team emerging as suitor in trade for Nuggets’ Peyton Watson

The Denver Nuggets have yet to decide what to do with Peyton Watson, as the future remains uncertain. 

Watson, a decent player in his own right, is probably somebody the Nuggets want to keep around. 

Unfortunately, because he's expected to be a bit too expensive, it doesn't seem like the Nuggets have much chance of keeping him around. A sign-and-trade seems to make the most sense, and according to the latest report, there are three teams with interest.

“The Nuggets, mind you, still have two restricted free agents of their own to hash out deals with: Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones.

“And some fresh rumbles have been relayed to The Stein Line that the Bucks are joining the Clippers and Hawks on the list of teams trying to pry Watson away from the Nuggets via sign-and-trade,” Marc Stein wrote.

Of these three teams, any could put together a somewhat compelling package. The Milwaukee Bucks shouldn't want to trade picks at this point of their rebuild, but they do have some young players who could entice Denver. 

The same can be said about the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks, though I'd say Atlanta probably has the best package to put together if it wants to.
