Кливленд Кавс багийн сэлгээний бүрэлдэхүүнд үүссэн сул орон зайг нөхөхөөр энэ зун холбогдоод буй хоёр тоглогчийн талаарх хөгжөөн дэмжигчдийн санал асуулга үргэлжилж байна.
Дэйн Уэйд болон Кеон Эллис нар баг орхисноор Кливленд клубийн жигүүрийн байрлалд сонголт хязгаарлагдмал болсон бөгөөд Марио Хезоня уг байрлалд хараахан хангалттай баталгаа болоогүй байгаа юм. Иймд тоглогч солилцоо хийх шаардлага үүссэн бөгөөд Дэндэр Наггетс багийн хувьд Пейтон Уотсоныг явуулахад нэгдүгээр тойргийн эрх шаардаж байгаа нь солилцооны өртгийг өсгөж байна.
Пейтон Уотсон нь хамгаалалт сайтай, багаа ялалтад хөтлөх чадвартай 3-and-D чиглэлийн тоглогч бол Жонатан Куминга нь илүү өндөр потенциалтай ч хараахан тогтворжиж амжаагүй байгаа юм. Багийн удирдлага болон хөгжөөн дэмжигчид аль тоглогч нь илүү тохирохыг шийдэхээр санал хураалтад оролцож байна.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cavaliers fans and fans across the country.
It’s time for another poll. Today we want to know whether Fear the Sword readers prefer Jonathan Kuminga or Peyton Watson as trade targets for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Please make an account and go to our feed posts to vote.
Both Kuminga and Watson have been linked to the Cavs this summer. Cleveland is reportedly showing interest in the two 23-year-old wings as they would fill a glaring hole on the roster.
The Cavs are searching for a way to recoup some of their wing depth after losing Dean Wade to the Philadelphia 76ers this summer. They also lost Keon Ellis to the Brooklyn Nets. This leaves Cleveland with few options to play the wing.
Mario Hezonja is a worthy but unproven fit at small forward.
Hence, the need for a trade.
The assets required to get either Kuminga or Watson are similar. The Cavs would need to sign-and-trade in both scenarios, likely meaning Max Strus or Dennis Schroder are involved. The Denver Nuggets reportedly want at least one first-round pick attached for Watson — raising the price compared to Atlanta.
Watson is a more complete player who translates to winning basketball. Cleveland could plug-and-play Watson as a 3-and-D forward with little to no issues.
Kuminga isn’t as straightforward. He comes with more raw potential, but isn’t as polished or consistent as Watson. Though his upside as an on-ball creator feels higher at this stage of his career. It’s unclear if Kuminga can ever reach that potential, however.
It might be splitting hairs to determine which player is a better fit in Cleveland. That’s why we wanted to hear your opinion. Vote in our poll and leave a comment explaining your decision. We’ll react to the results later this week in a follow-up story.
