Trade Cam in the off season and Pwat is the SF of the future.
Sign Swatson tax or no tax or he will come back and bite them
Thank you!!!! I’m fairly confident the organization that is the Denver Nuggets keeps tabs on these shows. They’ve gotta hold onto Watson. What a gem
Really good show 👏 👌 👍
We just need to trade Cam and Naji, Hope that'll be enough to sign him. We need to keep him at all cost.
Im just curious why trade Braun over Cam? Cam is like 6 years older and making the same amount of money? Braun is a better defender and isn't in his prime yet? The argument isn't Watson vs Braun? But Watson vs Cam. Obviously just trade cam.. Braun had just as good of a season as Johnson last year and he was the 5th option. Johnson was the 1st. They had similar averages. Whys Braun the target and not Cam? I don't understand.
I would rather trade Mal than lose Pwat
Don’t allow the Kroenke’s to get away with acting like they can’t afford the 2nd apron. This is your championship squad. Winning multiple championships will double the value of their franchise. No reason not to pay
The upside for watson right now is insanley high… Imagine him getting into the paint like this 4 years from now with an extra 20lbs of muscle on his frame.
i think christian is gonna come off the bench to “manage injury” even if he’s feeling better. it won’t be like officially benching him for pwat but kind of soft launching it
peyton is great but hes still missing something
great discussion gents!
To Pay Wat, would get it done
Trade Cam- not an issue.
37:57 obviously bones and Jamal hate each other but is this a Russ mention? Clearly Mike and Jamal get along, who else has come through that didnt like Murray?? Jerami Grant?
Matt holding on to his proMalone stance so he has to diminish the young guys.
Trade CB he is useless outside of Jokic
I understand Matt playing “devils advocate”, but it was quite annoying this episode.
Watson is homegrown talent unlike Bruce Brown, Jeff Green or KCP. Those type of players are available for trade every year. They are not looking at a guy who has yet to reach his ceiling the same as they did journeyman vets.
Peyton will keep growing if he wants to. And on cb versus Peyton starting: it really depends on what the team needs. Cb is great off ball and he’s very aware of where Jokic and Murray are on the court and how to either get to his position or stay out of the way. Alternatively, pwatt is smart enough to adapt once Jokic and Murray come back and he’s already gel-ing well with Murray, but then you use a legit facilitator off the bench.
I think trading pwat this year would be dumb. I say keep the depth, increase your rate of rotation to keep guys fresh and just let people know it could be anyone on any given night. That’s honestly the only way to beat OKC. Then next year you can decide what to do. If you get in the habit of switching out players you basically just blow up your team chemistry.
A lot of people have a short memory about what CB has done in the last playoffs as a SG ! The comparison with Pwat is a complete nonsense lol
you two have some great discussions and disagreements while having authentic respect and fair bit of open-mindedness…
yall are not crazy characters r forcing takes and I appreciate that…
nice talk thanks for sharing
neh-KO-lah
Pwat can be the future of the Nuggets after Jokic decides he's done. We need to keep him and trade cam after the season ends.(Even though I wish we could keep him) Because Jokic trusts Pwat to be the future because he knows his own legacy is cemented.
And Cb shouldn't have gotten 125 million. He should of gotten 80 and a 5th yr option (team) for 100 mil total.
very good
Not sign that best defensive player on the team is crazy. Offense stepping way up to because of playing time and blocking shots cmon man ? 93 shots blocked last year defense a beast sign Peyton nicknamed Swatson!!!
