Cavaliers land Peyton Watson in sprawling four-team trade that reshapes Nuggets and Clippers rosters

In a sprawling four-team deal, Peyton Watson is traded from Denver to Cleveland, where he signs a four-year, $88 million contract; Cleveland also lands Cam Whitmore from Washington as part of a swap that sends Max Strus to the Clippers. Denver collects a 2031 first-round pick from Cleveland and a 2032 second-round pick from the Kings. Washington receives Tre Mann (plus a 2027 Clippers second-round pick) in exchange for Whitmore, with Julian Reese going to Denver to be waived. The Cavaliers’ cap situation tightens (hard apron), and Cleveland is reportedly pursuing DeMar DeRozan.
