Bucks floated Jaquez in Watson chase before Nuggets picked Cleveland

Milwaukee considered a sign-and-trade for Nuggets guard Peyton Watson and floated Jaime Jaquez Jr. as part of the package, according to the Denver Post. The Bucks never made a formal offer and were not seen as favorites.

Denver ultimately sent Watson to Cleveland instead. Jaquez arrived in Milwaukee earlier this offseason as part of the trade that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami.
