    I wouldn't trade Nic for either of them.

    It would be a dunk fest with Nene here.

    Batum+Camby for Nene

    Or...

    Batum+Dre+Camby for Nene and Felton

    Or...

    Wallace for Nene

    Nene would be insanely good here and I hope they push hard for him.

    Just a designation but not necessarily with meaning. A three-bigs rotation could get all three of them 30+ minutes. If Oden suffers any foul trouble or injury time missed, the minutes for Nene (and obviously Aldridge) go up.

    Too funny though if the later was made. Basically Denver would get their two starters Miller and Camby of 6 years ago. Not saying it isn't a bad deal. Hell I would do it in a heartbeart; but it would be totally ironic!

    Your high as fuck if you think Gallinari and Chandler are better then batum.. No Gm in the league would trade Batum for either of them, you still pissed about Batums playoff performance, what has he done for you lately? Nick has a much better body of work in the NBA then either of those scrubs.

    To assert that Nic has a much better body of work than either of these "scrubs" is insulting. I could see an argument putting Nic over any of them (Just like I can see one for the other two), but I sure as hell can't see how either Gallinari or Chandler are so much worse than Batum.

    They look pretty damn similar to me.

    You really think Gallinari and Chandler are better then Batum,or are you just looking at there stats? Nick is a better defender,longer,younger,more athletic, and so unselfish to the point that he hasnt fully developed, similar to Lamarcus.. Thats the way i see it. Im pretty sure our GM would not trade batum for either or both. Batum is a special player, why do you think every team in the NBA wants him..

    :cheers:

    Batum can't score very well. He can't create for himself or dribble. His defense seems to have taken a step back as well. He's very weak and doesn't ever go up strong. Gallinari and Chandler are both scorers, and Chandler is a comparable athlete to Batum. It's very, very close.

    Nene would be awesome btw

    Camby's been nice, but he's old and gives you NOTHING on offense. His FG% is a joke.

    Oden....well, yeah. He certainly won't be ready to start from day 1. I see him coming off the bench for the whole season when he comes back after missing 2 years of basketball.

    Your just a buttsore fan.. I think our GM, and many others around the league feel different.. The fact they call him "untouchable" says your wrong..

    His length and athleticism. There aren't many tall athletic people in the NBA.

    Nic is all of 4 months younger then Danilo & Chandler is just about to turn 24. There are reasons to argue for Batum over these two but bringing up age when all three are in the first third of their NBA careers isn't one of them. Also since there are no legit measurements for the two Denver players that I'm aware of, I don't think claiming Nic to be "longer" carries much weight... Chandler seems to have some length to him

    I really value defense from frontcourt players, so thats why I'd prefer NB... but it's not by a landslide. Gallinari is a pretty nice player too

    Chandler and Gallinari played for D'Antoni most of their career, and Chandler showed some nice defensive potential in Denver. Meanwhile, Batum seems to have regressed a bit as a defender, although that might just be McMillan's questionable defensive gameplan.
