Peyton Watson is drawing interest around the league, with the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, and Brooklyn Nets emerging as possible destinations, according to Marc Stein.
Teams with financial flexibility could put pressure on his current situation by making a strong offer.
“League sources have already identified the Lakers, Bulls and Nets as potential suitors that are likely to have the requisite spending power to present an offer sheet that causes angst in the Rocky Mountains.
“The Stein Line has learned, in fact, that both the Lakers and Bulls registered trade interest in Watson leading up to the in-season deadline for deals on Feb. 5, although it must be noted that Chicago’s front office will soon have a new lead voice after the recent ouster of former Nuggets executive Arturas Karnisovas.”
Watson has played 4 seasons for the Nuggets. He has averaged 8.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 225 regular-season games. He has won 1 NBA championship.
