Nuggets Trade 2008 1st Round Pick to Charlotte
DENVER, June 25 -- The Denver Nuggets have traded their first round draft selection (the 20th overall) in the 2008 NBA Draft to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for a future protected first round draft pick, Nuggets Vice President of Basketball Operations Mark Warkentien announced today.
The Nuggets now currently have no picks in tomorrow’s draft.
Chalmers now potentially falls.
that would have been a good spot for the Spurs
I see two consequences for Spurs :
First, it gives more reasons to Nuggets to match a JR Smith offer. they have saved some money by dumping the pick and without a draft pick, they need him even more.
Second, bobcats need bigmen and a backup PG. If they draft a big at #9, they will take Chalmers if he is available at #20. If they draft a PG at #9, they will draft a big at #20.
If Indiana obtains T.J Ford and doesn't go with PG at 11, Sacramento goes with D.J. Augustin, and Chalmers does potentially fall without Denver to catch him. Phoenix could have a tough decision with a potential back-up to Nash (good shooter, defensive-minded) and Rush on the board, but I think they'd go with Rush.
Yeah Indiana has gotten him apparently and the 17th pick.
I agree I think Phoenix goes with the shooting guard.
Although like Bruno said, Charlotte covers a point guard as well.
Potentially good news for the Spurs.
Nuggz are high on JR, he isn't going anywhere.
They're going to have to clear more payroll than that.
Is it greedy to want tomorrow and July 1st to be here already?
Marcus, I do not know if the Nuggets care about payroll. They have shown they will do what it takes to win (money wise) and I highly doubt they will let J.R. go, even if it means paying extra. Why would they pay big bucks to an injured Kenyon or older Camby but let the youngster go? I hope they do, but I have my reservations.
What happens July 1?
That's why I think the only way to get J.R is offering the whole MLE.
I don't see the Nuggets matching that. It would cost them almost $12mi in salary in the 1st year
July 1st is the first day teams can negotiate with free agents.
Depending on the conditions of that pick, this could end up being a really nice move for the Nuggets.
It is a protected pick, so I do not know how much more they could improve from the 20? Maybe outside a top 10, they get it? What happens if it falls in the protected range, do they get another pick or cash or what?
much more.....
Carmelo, AI, Camby, Nene, K-Mart all have big money contracts.

The future first-round pick is protected by Charlotte in this regard: If the pick falls in the lottery next draft, it still belongs to Charlotte. But if Charlotte makes the playoffs, and the pick thus isn't in the lottery, the pick belongs to Denver.
The following year, if it wasn't used by Denver the previous year, the pick still belongs to Charlotte if it's 1-12. Following year protections are 1-10, 1-8 and finally 1-3.
Good. Jordan sucks at drafting outside the lottery. He'll probably take Ryan Anderson.
Damn, the Bobcats got owned. They just traded a 20th pick for a pick that will be around 15 or 16 at the very highest. If LB bombs out, it could easily be a top ten pick down the road.
Too bad the Spurs didn't get this offer from the Bobcats.
He's much better in the lottery?
fans on a Nuggets board I frequent are pretty much all in agreement that the Nuggets would match any deal up to the MLE for Smith, regardless of luxury tax.
Sincerely,

Yeah we seem to be freer with spending Holt's money than he is.
