Peyton Watson Could Be Available for Lakers via Sign-and-Trade This Summer

Watson might be gettable through a sign-and-trade because of Denver's luxury tax constraints, per Kevin Pelton. The L.A.-area native who played at UCLA becomes a restricted free agent this summer. While the Lakers typically can't afford to wait out matching periods, a sign-and-trade could circumvent that issue. Denver's financial situation may force them to consider moving the promising forward.
