Did the denver nuggets do right in trading Taurean Green,Bobby Jones,2010 second round draft pick for Balkman?

Question

me i like the trade ,Balkman 6-8, 210, averaged 3.4 ppg and 3.3 rpg in 65 games i no this isn't a lot of points but i think he got a furture a nice skill player who can play defense i didn't like it when they trade it camby but this is a good player what do you think about this pick up?

thanks

Answer 1

The Knicks get to cut salary and the Nuggets get to benefit from it.

Answer 2

what? is correct they will probably waive  him

Answer 3

yes, nuggets are better. Balkman is a really good defender

Answer 4

Renaldo Balkman is a low risk project for the Denver Nuggets. His salary is only about 1.35 million. He is a good defender with good hustle, but he needs to work on his shooting and his offensive skills in general. Also, New York would use this trade to cut salary as they will waive the contracts of both Bobby Jones and Taurean Green. It would help both teams, I think. The Knicks are cutting salary and at the same time dealing off one of their Small Forwards (now they still have Quentin Richardson, Wilson Chandler (SG/SF), Danilo Gallinari (SF/PF)  and Jared Jeffries (SF/PF)....)  while Denver acquires a player that they can develop into a good role player or simply cut him out if if the project fails. Nothing to lose for both teams if the deal's done.

Answer 5

yes, knicks are trying to cut salaries. they will probably waive green and jones.

Answer 6

lol ima nuggets fan and i felt they should had gotten more for camby but clearly they r trying to cut their luxury tax so they are making alot of moves to get cash and players their probably going to cut this trade was another one of those cuts we will see thats all u can do when evaluating something like this.
