Um excuse me, read the title of this thread again for me...And get real, their superstar Forward would not change from his natural position, just so they could sign Hedo Turgoglu. That's a joke...

He would be an okay option if they can not finalize a KMart deal with the Nuggets. I dont kinow if he is better than Flip Murray though..

This is way out there and it nets the Nuggets Ray Allen. But it won't happen and I'm not sure I want it to happen.Nuggets send Kenyon Martin to NY NY sends Jamal Crawford and an expiring contract to SeattleSeattle sends Ray Allen to Denver.NY would like KenyonSeattle would like to sell the team and are trying to get younger. Crawford is a hometown boy. Allen's contract is big, but once Martin's contract is gone, it isn't a huge deal.Far fetched.But realistically I'd take Q in a heart beat right now. Mike Miller would be good too, but I'm not sure the Nuggets have anything the Grizzles would want.
Seattle signed Ray to a huge contract for a reason. They are obviously very high on him, and wouldnt be giving him up for Jamal Crawford.
^ Yes but when they signed him they were coming off a division title and a 50 win season. They aren't close to that level now. Allen is aging. The team is up for sale.Usually when teams are up for sale, the current owners want to reduce liabilities (long term contracts) so the team is easier to sell.Add to the fact that Rashard Lewis said he'll opt out of his contract next summer and wants more money. Lewis is younger and could fit the mold better.

Just because you got a huge contract, doesn't mean your staying. Huge contracts have been moved before, especially in the situation in Seattle. Their rebuilding, if their going to go full tilt with it, Ray will be moved. But I agree, he'll have more value then Crawford. For the topic, I hear JR Smith is likely coming to the Nuggets, whether he's waived or traded. It seems to be the talk on Chi/Nugs board. Nugs fans seem high if they land him, I honestly don't know about it. He would be your best sg in a while but the guy has issues and a sh*tty shot selection. Maybe Karl can help him out with the minor nuisances, I just feel he's a poor work ethic player(a guy who doesn't put forth effort in a great opportunity when he's so talented).
I don't think he can be traded to the Nuggets for 90 days or something like that and I doubt he gets waived.If he does become a nugget, I think it is a low risk/high reward opportunity. If he doesn't pan out, oh well, if he does great.
He can be traded at any time by himself, it's only if he's packaged, that he has to wait 60 days. Also, there's a good chance he's waived if Bulls don't get a good offer. He doesn't fit into their plans and they have to clear room.
