I don't see why the Nuggets would want to have Padgett. He is a three-point shooter with no quickness to guard small forwards, but no post game to play power forward. He has the size to play both positions but he isn't a fixture at one spot. The Nuggets already have Hodge and Johnson behind Melo at the three, and Nene/Najera backing up Martin, so I don't see where Padgett would fit. He would give the Nuggets a three-point shooter but nothing more.
