Speculation is swirling regarding whether the Clippers might pursue a sign-and-trade deal for Peyton Watson. While he would bring defensive energy and youth to the roster, the cost of a sign-and-trade can often be prohibitive. Given the current roster construction, is he the type of player the front office should be targeting to push the team over the top?
He plays the same position as Mathurin, so we might be able to do a direct swap for the two. However, one thing that might make this difficult is that Watson is rumored to be asking for $25 million a year.
I like his size. At 6'8", he has the ideal height to make him very valuable. He plays the same position as Mathurin (SF and SG), so we might be able to do a direct swap for the two. However, one thing that might make this difficult is that Watson is rumored to be asking for $25 million a year. This is why I wasn't happy with the Clippers signing Brook Lopez. We could have used that $9 million.
