    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nuggets have been fielding phone calls from teams interested in trading for forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili.

    An NBA source said the Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers have inquired about Tskitishvili. The Nuggets are in search of a defensive-minded swingman, and the 7-foot- 1, 235-pound Tskitishvili could be used as bait.

    "I am familiar with it," said Steve Heumann, Tskitishvili's agent. when asked about trade talks.cq"I've heard some things. It's very much in the Nuggets' hands. I know they are exploring a couple things."

    That was probably before they acquired Corliss Williamson. But even if we do get him, he would probably be on the reserved list or he wouldn?t even have a significant role in Philly. Our bench is pretty deep and loaded with out latest acquisition, so I doubt there would be any need for him anyways.

    Well hopefully the defensive minded swingman will be Greg Buckner...

    The Sixers are loaded with swingmen...Robinson, Korver...Tskitishvili would hardly see any PT in Philly, he needs to go to a younger team, somewhere like Atlanta, Chicago...

    Well, it was reported today, but since the trade came out of nowhere, it likely won't happen. I don't see him having a sufficient role in Philadelphia, he would be way down there on the bench, and would only see playing time in blowouts, and that isn't likely to happen.

    Yeah he wouldnt really help us,he wouldnt have a role to the team and we need role players right now,thats why we traded for Corliss.
