Peyton Watson Heads to Cavs | Portland Trail Blazers News

Peyton Watson is officially headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a blockbuster sign-and-trade involving Denver, Cleveland, and the LA Clippers—who landed Max Strus. At just 20, Watson—Denver’s top restricted free agent—secures a four-year, $88M deal after drawing interest from the Clippers, Bucks, and Trail Blazers. His breakout season (14 PPG, 4.8 RPG) makes this a huge gamble for Cleveland, who see him as the perfect bridge between Mitchell, Harden, and their frontcourt. For Denver, it’s a painful cap move; Portland? They’ll rue missing out on a rising star heading east. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
