Nuggets Lower Ask for Peyton Watson | Portland Trail Blazers News

With financial constraints and a tough spot in the salary cap, Denver’s flexibility could be the key to unlocking a blockbuster deal. The Trail Blazers, with their young core and need for a playmaker, should pounce — especially if they’re willing to part with Shaedon Sharpe and a future pick. It’s a chance to build around Jokic with a dynamic young guard — and Portland’s GM better be on the phone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
