2 1st rounders for Wilson Chandler??

 

Read again.

Jokic is a stashed second rounder from this past draft.

Not Nurkic.

I'm ok with Neil standing firm with our 1st rounder. Its worth a rental of Afflalo along with his bird rights. But we don't have any other 2nd rounders to trade. We have interesting young guys so we don't have to do any trade. It would be nice to have a pick this summer. I'd think Denver holds out for the best they can get than accepts our offer if its still best.

But if they stay firm and keep their roster so be it. First round picks are valuable and not grabbing one in a wasted season is silly on their end. They've made a lot of dumb moves since Ujuri left so who knows what they end up doing.

 

Ha I just assumed you couldn't spell. My bad.

 

Chandler's advanced stats say he's not worth a first-rounder, let alone two.

ESPN's RPM ranks him nearly dead last for SF's in the entire league.

 

I wonder if we are as interested in bringing in a wing if Batum were playing like his normal self? His down year is a real concern and especially in the playoffs when defenses exploit the weak offensive link. If we bring someone in they could take Nic's minutes at the end of games.

 

Less than 5 hours away... Cutting it close.

 

Don't think anyone thinks that. Next year he would be a fallback option in free agency at SG if for some unlikely reason Wesley leaves. Or a stellar bench option if Neil can work cap magic. Most likely he'd just be a rental but his bird rights would have value.

 

Both Wesley and Afflalo play SF sometimes at 6'5. Many players succeed at positions where they are a couple inches shorter than average. You have to look at what else they bring to the table.

 

I wondered if this would happen

 

Woj - "Nuggets want a first-round pick and a good young player for Afflalo."

Their asking price is too high. I wouldn't be surprised If that's a deal breaker - they probably want CJ or Leonard.

 

Imagine if you saw yourself saying that at the beginning of the year. But they've both looked good recently and that makes you not want to deal them for a guy who could bolt. But I'd trade our 1st and someone like Robinson/Kaman/Barton/Claver. Denver seems to be in love with Thomas Robinson types...

 

Same here. I think Neil is pitching them Barton/Robinson with our first - and not budging.

 

The Nuggets will blink. They can't just stand pat after this disaster of a season.

 

Hmmmm Dragic in Miami would be good but they'd have 4 point guards....
