Peyton Watson landing spots: Could Nuggets star actually leave Denver?

Denver Nuggets standout forward Peyton Watson could find himself on another team before you know it.

With the Nuggets reportedly open to a sign-and-trade of Watson, could Denver really lose a core piece to their rotation?

It’s hard to imagine many teams being able to shoulder the financial weight of a Watson contract at this point because of the aprons and such, but he’s absolutely an asset to any contending team.

We’ve gone through and identified a few teams that make sense for Watson in the fall… including the one he’s already on at the moment. Hey, he might stay home, you never know!

The Clippers have been linked to Watson as a possible destination; he could help them immensely.

The Pistons have also been linked to Watson, which would help them a lot to contend for an NBA title.

Look, HYPOTHETICALLY, the Nets could move around some cap space with some player trades and such and get a deal done. They are one of the only teams in the NBA right now not in the negative with cap space.

The Grizzlies are the team with the least amount of negative cap space right now, per Spotrac. If they really wanted to pull off a Watson sign-and-trade… it would be hypothetically possible from a money standpoint.

Look, it’s very possible Watson just stays in Denver on a brand-new deal. Who knows at this point?
