Balkman to the Nuggets

With 400 fowards on the roster, you knew this trade was coming...

 2 years ago, Isiah Thomas made the mind-boggling decision of drafting Balkman at #20 while players with the likes of Rajon Rondo and Marcus Williams were still up for grabs (I know....take a minute to shake your head and wonder what life would be like with Rondo).

 Since we've learned not to expect much from Isiah's picks and Balkman gave us more than we expected, the criticisms have been silenced and most fans have taken a liking to Balkman. Sure, he only averages 3.5 ppg and 3.3 boards per game, but he's only given about 14 inconsistent minutes per game to do so. More importantly, Renaldo provided NY with an energy and defense that it hasn't seen since Spree. So what do we do with a player that fits perfectly with Mike's style? We trade him of course! ughhh

 We trade him to Denver for cash, Taurean Green and Bobby Jones who we will probably waive anyway because we now have 17 men (2 over the limit) on the roster! If we were just trying to shave away some dollars, there is plenty of garbage we could've gotten rid of....begining with Jared-I should never touch the ball-Jeffries or Mardy-I'm good for 8 turnovers a game-Collins.

Denver...you win. More money for you and a little but of d your way - since you had none left when you got rid of Camby.
