Denver Trade Breakdown Outgoing Kenyon Martin 6-9 PF from Cincinnati 12.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 1.4 apg in 27.6 minutes Eduardo Najera 6-8 SF from Oklahoma 5.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 0.8 apg in 22.7 minutes Incoming Jalen Rose 6-8 SG from Michigan 12.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.5 apg in 27.3 minutes David Lee 6-9 PF from Florida 5.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 0.6 apg in 16.8 minutes Change in team outlook: -0.8 ppg, -4.0 rpg, and +0.9 apg. Successful Scenario Due to New York and Denver being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. New York and Denver had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. </font></div> All Kenyon cares about is playing time, thats something he can get in New York. Denver would get Jalen's huge expiring contract, giving them alot of cap room to use on the '07 free agent class. Denver also gets a fairly nice player in David Lee who could step into the starting lineup until they find Martin's replacement.
An absolute steal for the Nuggets. The Knicks get robbed, I'm not sure if even Isiah would pull the trigger on that deal.
isiah would do that...he's only giving up an expiring contract guy and a blue collar workhorse that can be replaced. Personally i wouldnt do it if i was isiah becuase Martin needs an offense that Larry Brown cant provide, a fast one. Though his defense would be nice to have in New York (when he tries) he'd take minutes from Frye who could turn out to be a very servicable starting 4.
the best place for martin is back in new jeresy. jason kidd vince carter richard jefferson kenyon martin nenad kristic
