<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nuggets are close to finalizing a trade that would send swingman Ruben Patterson to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for forward Joe Smith, NBA sources confirmed today. The Smith-Patterson deal is likely to be finalized no later than Friday. The arrival of Smith means the Nuggets probably will not go after Dallas free-agent forward Keith Van Horn because they fill the same role. Smith will make $6.8 million next season in the final year of his contract while Patterson will make the same in his final season. </div> Source I guess neither Evans or KVH are headed to Denver.
Nene and K-Mart are making a ton of money and they play the same position. K-Mart definitely has to go.

i really like K-Mart but Nene potential IMO is 4real......so K-Mart is gonna get traded back to the Nets(Kidd,Carter,RJ,K-Mart,Kristic oh my)

Offtopic: If K-Mart went back to the Nets......damn thats a sick team..... PG: Jason Kidd SG: Vince Carter SF: Richard Jefferson PF: Kenyon Martin C: Nenad Kristic Can you say dunk fest? All Jason would have to do every game is throw near the hoop
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j-mac31:</div><div class="quote_post">Martin should go - Too many PFs.</div> Well Joe Smith can play center at times and Nene has the ability and size to play center as well, so it's not really a glut at PF. I'm a little surprised about this trade. Patterson was a perfect fit in Denver and helped elevate the team down the stretch going into the playoffs. Maybe the Nuggets are close to acquiring Bonzi? Or possibly Harrington, not Junior.
I'd be worried if the Nets got K-Mart back... that's a crazy nice line-up... I don't know how they'd make up the salary to do it though...
I don't like the trade...even though its official... You lose a SG/SF when you are already thin at that spot who can play D and has a jumper for an old big.
