    Tskitishvili has asked his agent to seek a trade. The 21 year old, who was picked 5th in the 2002 draft, has played very little. Now, with Kenyon Martin in the forward mix, he doesn't see much playing time in the future. The Nuggets must decide by Oct. 31 whether to pick up fourth- year contract options on Tskitishvili and forward Nene. Nene, who played very well last year, seems to be a shoo-in.

    I think they could get possibly an ok player, and a second round pick. If they could get that they should do this deal. I always kind of thought Tskitishvili was a wasted pick at number 5. He's a good player but not top five material.

    Wow this guy is definitly a bust. So far he is the Korleone Young for foirgners. He was taken way to high...I tell you with shooting big men in the Nowitzki mold it isnt about potential i mean they better be lights out. And Tshvitzkivi or whatever the hell is name is definitly isnt. I dont think there is much left in hs future.

    You can't say he's definitely a bust. He came into the league a project with little expirience. In the second year, he got few minutes to prove anything. He still has potential, I wouldnt mind seeing him on the Bulls if we didn't give up too much. It would be good for Curry to have a 3pt shooting forward. He'd play decent minutes here at the 3 and 4 spots, and maybe a little of the 5.

    If he was really that bad, I think Kiki would trade him. But they're hanging on to him for some reason, so maybe they see he still can be productive.

    I think he is not as good as everyone thougt he was and if Denver could do it again I'm sure they would have taken someone else.

    He did really good in summer league, and he is still only 21, with the sky being his limit. I don't see why he shouldn't want out though, the forward positions on the Nuggets are too loaded for him to get PT and shine in the near future.

    I dont think the Nuggets would get much from him...He's a nice player but unproven and obviously hasnt earned any substantial minutes in 3 years in the league, which likely will raise eyebrows...
