2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Watson is a gamble at 30M; he didn't finish the season either, and we don't really know what kind of playoffs performer he is. He's more of a hypothetical than Duren or Kessler.

 

From what I’m reading, Denver is all in on Watson and they’re planning a 28-32m offer. This could be posturing.

But they’re most likely looking to trade Braun right now. If that doesn’t work they’ll move onto Cam Johnson and lastly Aaron Gordon. I assume they want draft compensation back too for Cam or Gordon.

The likelihood of them trading Watson is very low. You’d have to give them both firsts and swaps.

A trade that I like is Gordon for 32m, we send them Ayton (8.1) and S&T Rui (16.4). But that hard caps them at the 1st Apron and makes it hard to sign Watson. So they won’t do it.

Most likely they just dump Braun to Chicago or Boston.

 

See suspense must keep picks. Jokic to delay signing his max. I wonder why? Makes no sense. But for all the talk of it being a lock he still hasn’t signed his extension.

 

yes just not the one used on Carr.

 

I would just much rather have Gordon at 31 million than Watson at 30
