Around the league

Just thought I'd throw out some of the trade rumors around the league. The Nets and Nuggets discussing a swap of Jefferson and Williams their pick and filler for Carmelo AND Camby? Have no clue why they would do that. Carmelo definately better than Jefferson and Camby is a valuable big man. Weird things happening lately in NBA trades. Boston stocking up and giving up little. Gasol to the Lakers for nothing.
Also what about Cleveland? I think for them it comes down to bad coaching. At the end of last year with the team they had you figured they finish as the 2 seed this year behind Boston and their moves. They starte dout slow due to the contract squabbles of verajao and Pavlovic, but then they manage to pick up Ben Wallace, Wally Z and Joe Smith and still only finish 4th. Similar to how I have felt about the Nets before they dealt Kidd. Thats roster was stacked and that team should have been challenging Boston for the Atlantic. Again Frank is an awful coach. Not taking swipes at us, but you compare the rosters of Cleveland and the Nets (w Kidd) and the Magic, and you know those teams should be winning. Goes to show what kind of job Stan did with what he had.
So back to Denver, I don't know why they would make this trade, IF they do. Camby would look good next to Dwight. It's too bad Lewis isn't the caliber player that Jefferson is otherwise would be cool if we offered Lewis and........ thats just it, we don't ahve anything to offer.
