Off-Season 2010 - All Trade Proposals Here

pickIBL · Post #1 » by **pickIBL** » Sat May 1, 2010 4:56 am

Well it was an early exit for Denver and with young teams like Portland and OKC it might be time to get younger (without headcases) around Carmelo Anthony

Returning
Melo
Nene
Kmart (exp)
Andersen
Billups
Smith
Balkman
Lawson
Afflalo

On the block
Of course you can include Balkman just because. But I'd say Smith, Kmart, and Billups top the list. Billups mainly just because of Lawson and the team might as well get younger. Kmart because he's expiring and me might fetch something (plus he's nuts of course). I'd say Smith too as its just time to change up the culture and get some better guys around Melo.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Nuggets trade into the first round outside of the lottery. If Hassan Whiteside is available I'd be all for it. At guard I like Elliot Williams.

There are three overseas free agents I'd like to see the Nuggets go after

At off guard I like http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Romain-Sato-5195/

At Wing/ Hybrid 4 I like http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Qyntel-Woods-4977/

At PF/C I like http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Ksi ... 116/stats/

Other than that moving Billups, Smith, and Kmart should be explored to put something more stable (and younger) around Melo to compete long term with teams like OKC

It's time for KMart to go. Package KMart with Balkman and Smith and we may get some good value in return.

Billups isn't going anywhere IMO.

Keep/Re-sign:

Melo
Afflalo
Lawson
Graham (minimum)
Petro (minimum)

Must trade:

JR Smith
Birdman

Trading block:

Billups
KMart
Nene

I'd definitely be pursuing Bosh this offseason... try to work out a KMart + JR trade with them.

Then I'd look for actual bigs that can defend the post and reliable 3pt scorers off the bench (Azubuike, Mike Miller, etc.).

I'm done with the Birdman... I can't stand anymore stupid defense.

I'd keep K-Mart till the trade deadline, and then depending on how he performs we either keep or trade him. He's a big expiring contract and he has some value..look what Hou got for T-Mac, we could get much better

pickIBL · Post #5 » by **pickIBL** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:09 am

If they can bring Pekovic over (especially with Love) I could see the Wolves moving Jefferson and Sessions for Kmart's expiring deal. It really opens them up for free agency in 2011 with possibly having Pekovic, Love, Flynn, Rubio, and Gomes already on the roster.

Then you have Jefferson to play with Nene

I'm so sick of JR, he has to go.

devv83 · Post #7 » by **devv83** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:11 am

JR got to go, tonight man in the most important game he just didnt care

I mean you can have a bad game and still try ( Melo, Kenyon)

Jr was in space

Obviously bigs are the priority. With all the free-agent noise New York is making, David Lee is going to be available. He might be a more realistic option than Bosh. And the guy is a double-double machine. Would fill in nicely for K-Mart if he's traded.

Powder Blue · Post #10 » by **Powder Blue** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:16 am

JR's the only reason we won the 2 games. Why don't people see that. There are several games a year that we win just because of what JR does. I rarely see a game that JR is the reason that we lose. He wasn't to blame for the gm 6 loss unless u blame him for not putting up 20. Kid just needs to get consistent now.

Who the hell is gonna take on birdman's contract? To trade a player you actually have to have a team out there that wants them guys. :no:

pickIBL · Post #11 » by **pickIBL** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:16 am

Seeing Salmons go to work on the defensive end for the 2nd straight year in a row in the playoffs against Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce makes me still want the guy in Denver.

I love how optimistic everybody gets right after the season ends about what the team can do this offseason. It's nice to dream, but honestly, the Nuggets still have pretty little to work with. I think the best we can hope for are some Afflalo type moves. I just desperately want a big that can play post defense. Birdman can't, Petro tries but has a horrible basketball IQ, Allen is 100 years old, etc. Watching Boozer and Millsap, too undersized PF's absolutely kill the Nuggets on the glass and in the post was infuriating.

doubt the front office does much.

this will be written off as 'didn't have karl, kmart/bird/nene not 100%, try again next year'

Maybe... but with Pau, Kobe & co in their prime and the youthful OKC and Portland teams on a serious upswing... maybe not. At some point you'd think the front office just says fock you JR Smith.

The problem is you're not really going to get anything for him. Everybody knows what kind of guy he is, and who is going to take him on? We're certainly not going to get any value back for him. If anything, we might have to take something crappy in return just to get rid of him.

Nugologist · Post #16 » by **Nugologist** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:27 am

I disagree that the front office isn't going to make big moves. I think they realized how desperately we needed a big a little too late and tried to salvage the season by picking up a waiver-wire scrub, which didn't happen. I'd love to see Lee come here, if that's possible.

There is no way you can trade away Birdman now, he just suck after he got a decent contract
No one wants an aging awful defensive center with a long contract on their team

Trade JR for someone can consistently give you 15 points
Keep Kmart for much cheaper price and shorter deal
Keep Nene or trade him for a very good big man

This had a distinct flavor of running out of gas. You saw Joey go off.....dude had so much energy in him. I think a better job of managing minutes needs to be done next year. Straight up talk about whatever trades but we can't just wear out our core to get to the playoffs.

The main disappointment I have with JR is he has the legs and the knees to run and jump and yet he played as stiff as our bigs who don't have knees or legs. Those who are able need to do the things that the weary can't.

Post #19 » by **MHZ** » Sat May 1, 2010 5:29 am

Those aren't serious moves.

Who is going to trade a "very good big man" for Nene? Why wouldn't they just keep their "very good big man"?
Why would somebody trade a 15 ppg guy for JR Smith? That's basically what you get for Smith, only it's an extremely erratic 15 ppg.
K-Mart isn't a FA this offseason. You bet your ass he's using his option.

Smith's contact is expiring... you'll find a renter (i mean taker). Especially if you could bring over a euroleague MVP like Sato who is an ideal fit for Denver or a vet like Salmons... might just be addition by subtraction.
