NBA trade rumor: Lakers get disappointing update on 6-foot-8 restricted free agent amid Clippers chase
Peyton Watson, a restricted free agent forward, averaged 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks for the Denver Nuggets in 2025-26, shooting 49.1% overall and 41.1% from three. The Lakers reportedly lack the draft capital for a sign-and-trade, per Jake Fischer. The Hawks' trade for Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard has thinned their roster spots, boosting the Clippers' and Bucks' odds in the chase.
