<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One potential sign that the Nuggets, Lakers or both are getting some trade interest was a few Eastern Conference teams scouting the game. Atlanta, Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto and Miami were in attendance checking out Nuggets guard J.R. Smith. The Nuggets also have a commodity in excess big men.</div> Source A lot of possibilities with this many teams involved. Maybe we'll see some minor deals before the season opener.
The Nugs do have a lot of bigs, that's not a lie. However, what they negate to mention is that all those bigs have very big contracts and all of them have health issues. Two things that make a player, big or not, difficult to trade.
I can't see them getting rid of Smith, they need his deadly 3's. The guy is a sharpshooter! Why the hell did they get rif of Voshoen Lenard, I didn't spell that right, he was a deadly 3 guy. Watched him early in his career with the Heat. I think he had achillies surgery, gained a ton of wt. and was havin' a tuff time getting back in shape. Remember him at the 3 pt. contest trying to defend his title a few yrs. back? Barkely was ripping him like mad, it was sooo damn funny! LMAO!
