Among the other teams listed as potential suitors are the Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets.
Watson will be a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning he can receive offers from other teams; however, the Nuggets have the right to match any offer to retain him. The former UCLA Bruin has established himself as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
The 23-year-old is one of the more versatile defenders with shot-blocking prowess and has significantly improved on the offensive end. Watson can guard one of the better opposing players in the league, as well as provide some offense.
He is the type of player every team wants, and the type of player the Lakers desperately need. Watson hails from Beverly Hills, California, and will be a highly touted free agent this summer.
