Nuggets Trade Peyton Watson — Is Denver's Championship Window Closing? | FIGGERS AND AUSLUND (FnA)

Adam Auslund and Kevin Figgers of the FnA Show break down the shocking Peyton Watson trade from the Denver Nuggets to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Was Cleveland right to give Watson a 4-year, $88 million deal? The guys discuss Watson's fit in Cleveland, what he brings to the Cavaliers, and whether the Cavs gave up too much for a young wing coming off a breakout season.

Watson averaged 14.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for Denver last season while shooting 41.1% from three, making him one of the more intriguing young players in the Nuggets' rotation. Cleveland believes his size, athleticism and defensive versatility can help solve a major weakness on the wing.

But what does this mean for Denver?

The Nuggets are coming off a season in which they finished third in the Western Conference before losing to Minnesota in the first round. Now they've moved on from a 23-year-old player who appeared to be an important part of their future, receiving future draft capital in return.

Adam and Kevin debate whether this is simply smart financial management—or another sign that Denver's championship window around Nikola Jokic may be closing.
