The Milwaukee Bucks are one of several teams actively engaged in sign-and-trade talks for Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson. One holdup on the Bucks side is that the team is reluctant to include a first-round pick in exchange for Watson.

Denver is said to be seeking a package that includes first-round picks, young talent or a combination of the two. If Milwaukee is unwilling to include draft capital, they may need to part with rotation players to acquire Watson. One player who could be of interest to the Nuggets is Jaime Jaquez, who the Bucks acquired earlier this summer in trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and LA Clippers have also been linked to Watson. Denver re-signing Watson themselves also hasn't been ruled out.
