And he's not just a good defender - he's potentially a star on that end. His floor is very high even if his 41% 3 shooting last year doesn't turn out to be real.

This is weird as hell. It's not Kuminga, who has major flashes but hasn't shown yet he can consistently play winning basketball. Watson is plug and play even at 35% 3 shooting.

- I don't get it Paul. Young, big, super athletic, with significant skill development in his young career. Why weren't other teams on this? Huge, huge get for Cleveland - exactly who they needed.* - By jjwalker August 20, 2026 at 01:52:58 PM

    - Yeah his defense is already pretty elite - By Paul August 20, 2026 at 02:43:25 PM
      - And one of the very few scorers in the league who doesn't really get any better with Jokic on the floor. Just a totally weird fit all around. I really hope Gordon comes back strong, he's crucial for them.* - By jjwalker August 20, 2026 at 02:52:13 PM
- Just FYI, avoiding the second apron is not just a matter of the owner not wanting to spend money. - By GritsGoBlue August 20, 2026 at 01:12:56 PM

  - Thanks -- Denver's former GM kind of screwed up by paying Christian Braun $125 million - By Paul August 20, 2026 at 01:16:53 PM
    - I absolutely hate that this is now a thing, but Jokic and Murray should give some money back. It's fucking bullshit, but if they ever want to compete again, it's the best way * - By jjwalker August 20, 2026 at 02:05:51 PM
