Nuggets’ Peyton Watson Named Blazers Trade Target

The Portland Trail Blazers will look far and wide for ways to improve their roster this summer, and they should look towards contending teams with young talent on the bottom of the roster that is unable to solidify a spot in a playoff rotation.

Enter Peyton Watson, a soon-to-be third-year pro from the Denver Nuggets, who played 18.6 minutes per game in the regular season, but saw his playing time decrease as the playoffs wore on.

Bleacher Report suggested Watson as an “ambitious trade target” for the Blazers.

Peyton Watson’s bounce-house hops, downhill horsepower, maniacal motor and disruptive length jibe nicely, if perfectly, with a Portland Trail Blazers franchise in the infancy of a rebuild and light on developmental intrigue at the wing spots.
