Even before all the injuries, he was talking trades with other clubs. Paul Pierce, Steve Francis and Al Harrington are just three of the names he has pursued.</div>

    I have a feeling that the Nuggets would want to include Earl Watson in this deal since he hasn't done well while playing behind Miller and Boykins this year. I have no interest in Watson so the only way I would want this trade to happen is if the Nuggets would include someone like Nene or Andre Miller. Nene and Howard would give us a nice frontcourt and Miller is basically Francis with a better jumpshot. What do you guys think about dealing Stevey to the Nuggets.

    Miller at his best is as good a shooter as Francis is. He has no three-point range and isn't someone who can create for himself like Francis can. Maybe he can give you a few more assists, but Francis has much more market worth than Andre Miller.

    Really? I always thought that Andre Miller was a better mid-range shooter while Francis was better at driving to the hoop. I went to a Nuggets-Magic game earlier this month and Miller was knocking down jumpshot after jumpshot. Maybe he was just having a good night but it seemed like he was pretty consistent.

    Watson, Najera, and Nene for Francis works. Francis would most likely play the 2 if this deal went down.

    Francis is more marketable but Miller is the better player...Miller's a better passer and rebounds just as well, and gives more effort defensively...hes also a whole lot more smarter with his shot selection...
