The Cavaliers, Nuggets and Clippers agreed on a trade that will send Peyton Watson to Cleveland and Max Strus to Los Angeles, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
As part of the multiteam deal, Denver will receive an unprotected 2031 Cavs first-round pick and a 2032 Sacramento Kings second-rounder, according to sources.
Watson will sign a new four-year, $88 million deal with a player option and trade kicker to join the Cavaliers, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agents Lucas Newton and Calvin Andrews told ESPN.
Watson, who started 40 games last season, averaged career highs in points (14.6), rebounds (4.9), assists (2.1) and steals (0.9) while shooting 41% from 3. He also had four 30-point games, after having none in his first three NBA seasons.
