Jon Horst and the Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly interested in restricted free agent Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets, joining the Clippers and Hawks in pursuing him via sign-and-trade. Watson, a 6’8” wing, had a breakout season averaging 14.6 PPG and 41% from three-point range, but his success has created financial constraints for Denver. The Nuggets are seeking significant compensation akin to what Utah received for Walker Kessler in a recent trade, complicating Milwaukee’s potential acquisition. Despite challenges, including a $25.5m trade exception and a full roster, Horst’s history suggests he may still pursue a deal for Watson, who aligns with the team’s youth movement.
