Okay assume both Nene and Kenyon are healthy. Which one would you rather have on the Nuggets longterm? Consider the Nuggets roster as is and what they could do with the other playe (trade the one you don't want).I've been thinking about the offseason a little. Honestly I think I would rather have Nene. Martin, when healthy, is an enigizer and a very good defensive player. But Nene can be a good defensive player, especially in the post.Nene also brings muscle/bulk and a low post game, something the Nuggets really could use. Martin bring no real low post game.With Nene being a restricted FA, I'd try to match any offer he receives and then even resign Reggie Evans. A combo of Camby, Nene, and Evans with Najera and maybe Elson would be pretty nice.Then see if the Knicks are still willing to take Kenyon in a trade. A trade for Q. Richardson, while he has had a down year, would help fill some outside shooting needs. Plus Q has been doing a lot of little things this year, while his shot is off. Kenyon would bring back more then Q, just to match salaries, but the Knicks could include Malik Rose or Maurice Taylor to help match it.Anyway, which one would you rather have?
Nene.I love Martins energy but im loving Reggie Evans even more. I wish Martin would turn into the old Kenyon instead of trying to shoot jump shots all the time.I love Nene. I also feel sometimes Martin is a cancer to our team.
NENEHe is more consistant, not as big of contract. Nene hustles more instead of complaining to the refs. KMart can pump up a crowd, but Evans can do that also.
If both are healthy? At this point? Definitely K-Mart. He runs the floor much better than Nene, more agile, is a better defender, a better offense facilitator, actually has some low-post game, is a big-time playoff performer (at least choke isn't the word to describe him in big games), brings more intensity to this laid-back team, actually has a range to his jump shot. With Nene it's always about potential. He can post up for sure but he always seems to prefer face-to-the-basket game (that's how he injured his knee this season)... Sure, on another team he can turn out to be sth... but on this team, with Camby and other bigs, we don't have time to wait for him to develop because he's not the fastest learner.... it seems his progress is very slow. I wouldn't mind losing him <u>as long as</u> we resign Evans and Elson and provided that K-Mart heals 100%.
