Trade Analysis

Denver gained a modest realized-value advantage. Denver's side was led by rights to Peyton Watson, while the principal outgoing value was JaMychal Green. The A+/B+ grades reflect the players and picks that actually materialized, with contract, age, competitive-window fit, and downstream pick conversion treated as context rather than substitutes for realized value.
