Bucks Eye Watson in Tax-Driven Trade | NBA News

The Milwaukee Bucks are eyeing Denver’s restricted free agent Peyton Watson, who had a career year with career highs in points, rebounds, and assists—and a scorching 41% three-point rate. Denver’s in a bind: paying him $25M could push them over the luxury tax, so a sign-and-trade might be the answer. The Bucks, already crowded at guard and needing wing depth, like Watson’s size and upside—but can’t afford to give up top assets for a player whose shooting consistency remains unproven. If Denver’s willing to send back cheaper players like Kevin Porter Jr. or A.J. Green, a deal could work—but Milwaukee shouldn’t overpay for a breakout that might be a fluke.
