A first and second round pick a few years from now. The only other human player of note in the deal (which expanded to five teams, enveloping last week's Dennis Schroder trade) was Max Strus, who actually went to the Clippers, not Denver. So the Nuggets continue to thin out this offseason, and while they're rumored to be working hard to bring in Demar DeRozan, who would help them, even if they do the team isn't as good right now as it was last year, and is relying on certain players with a VERY spotty health history to stay afloat. All of this at a time when there's at least some question surrounding the future of Nikola Jokic. So all of this is obviously good for the Lakers, who have stayed about the same as the conference shifts around them, something that should benefit LA over the course of the season. Some of the \"next tier\" teams behind San Antonio and OKC just aren't as strong. And, of course, this also influences the future of Jonathan Kuminga, since Cleveland was seen as one of the teams with interest in acquiring him. That leaves the Lakers as one of his only suitors, but as has been well established, that interest doesn't come at the price Kuminga wants to get. And even if they settle on a price, the Lakers would then have to figure out a way to complete a trade with Atlanta, who have 17 players under contract and no need for anyone the Lakers would trade them. So great work by Kuminga's agent, here. Top shelf. And finally, Luka is taking the Lakers to Slovenia! And it's a trip that could bode well for the squad's ch…","meta_description":"One of the last big pieces left to move in the NBA this offseason finally found a home on Wednesday, as Nuggets small forward Peyton Watson, once a rumore…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2104,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/locked-on-lakers-daily-podcast-on-the-los-angeles-lakers-174397/episodes/peyton-watson-sent-to-cleveland-denver-gets-weaker-helps-lakers-in-the-western-conference/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/locked-on-lakers-daily-podcast-on-the-los-angeles-lakers-174397/peyton-watson-sent-to-cleveland-denver-gets-weaker-helps-lakers-in-the-western-conference.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
