    he's being paid a whole MLE. No way we want to pick up a contract like that.

    Watson has showed in the last few weeks that he is well worth getting paid the MLE.

    But, he is playing so well right now, he has pretty much played himself out of the Rocket's range. Unless Denver is enamored by Swift, I don't see the Rockets wih a real shot at getting him.

    He's an elite backup, so he could help us sure, but backup PG is not a pressing need on this team. We need a backup SF more than anything to cut down TMac's minutes.

    I wouldn't give up Swift for Watson. We need an upgrade at both guard spots.
    Watson is a good backup not a starter.

    With the season Denver is having this year (particularly, going to the playoffs), why would they want an expiring contract for something that contributes (and significantly, as of late) to their team??

    I'd rather get a regular-sized SG. These undersized 2-guards are driving me nuts.

    I agree. We need a athletic wing who is at least 6-5.
