Will Petersen and Dante Gomez are in for Denver Sports Tonight. Will and Dante are joined by James Merilatt to discuss the breaking news that Peyton Watson is heading to Cleveland in a sign-and-trade. What do the guys make of the Nuggets' return in the trade of a first-round pick and a second-round pick? Is the Nuggets' championship window officially closed? Is it fair to be critical of the Nuggets for not being willing to spend on Watson to maximize their championship opportunity? We wrap up our time with James getting his take on the Broncos' training camp fights. Jake Shapiro joins the show to continue breaking down the Nuggets moving on from Peyton Watson. Could this move lead to Nikola Jokic opting out of his contract next season and becoming a free agent? We wrap up the show with Dante's thoughts on the Peyton Watson sign-and-trade and previewing Bo Nix's preseason debut.
