Aaron Gordon Opens Up on Peyton Watson's Exit
Gordon says his bond with Watson goes beyond basketball, wishing him well after his trade to Cleveland and $88m deal with the Cavaliers.
Aaron Gordon has spoken about Peyton Watson's move out of Denver, and made clear the two go back further than basketball.
"He's my guy. Me and Peyton, our relationship runs way deeper than just basketball. Our families go to the same church. Peyton's like a brother to me. I'm happy for him, happy with the situation he's in now. Of course we wanted to keep him on the team. But it all worked out the way it was supposed to," Gordon said.
Watson left Denver for Cleveland this summer as part of a multi-team trade. He signed a four-year, $88m contract with the Cavaliers.
