## Resource

On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers acquiring forward Peyton Watson in a sign-and-trade with the Denver Nuggets. Danny begins the show by talking about the gamble that the Cavs are making by trading for Watson, hoping their bet can pay off by elevating the ceiling of the team and extending its runway further into the future. Next, Danny talks about the full scope of the trade and how it changes who the Cavs can be. Finally, Danny discusses sending out Max Strus and how it was a fair, reasonable price to pay.
