Camby is worth the money. It'll be hard to get rid of the other bigs. If they are desperate, they could deal AI, but there is plenty of time before that would happen.
Plenty of people could use Camby for sure, I wonder if the Warriors would be interested? They have some contracts they could send and Camby is athletic enough to guard multiple positions, run the floor, make them better defensively and he is a good passer (especially lobs)... could work out...

No way AI gets dealt, Camby's contract is at least reasonable for what you are getting.
Eh, if you are giving up, you might as well get some part of his $22 million off your books. I agree he still sells jerseys and tickets - but for how long?
Not saying that they would not trade him, I just do not know a team that would take that monster of a contract? I think they would love to trade him, but I just do not know for whom and to where. I hope they stand pat and let the Spurs swoop in a get J.R.. If the Spurs do that and end up drafting Batum or Hibbert or CDR that would be a nice, cheap off season that allows us to contend along with keeping 2010 in mind. Perfect.
The Nuggets are on the verge of having to blow it up again.
If the Spurs are targeting JR Smith, they are gonna go after a Batum or Chalmers more than likely.
Really, I feel if the Spurs are going after JR, they would go big like Hibbert in the draft, but either way I am ok. I feel JR is more important than anyone we draft, he is like a college senior anyways.
Some crazy like Dallas or New York would not surprise me at all.
Dallas would surprise me, especially since they would have egg on their face from the Kidd trade and that would be a lot to throw on a new coach.
I really hope we can deal with the Bulls now that they have an ass load of young talent (Tyrus, Thabo...), a new coach familiar with the Spurs, a need for veterans (bigs Oberto, Bonner, KT) and we can make something happen.
Perhaps nobody will want to help the Nuggets escape from Luxury Taxation ...
It's a long shot they'd be interested in anything we have to offer, but I'm all for getting Thabo on the Spurs.
Maybe someone they like falls to the 26 and we could package it with TE? They've got some financial decisions to make, so maybe a prospect and a chance to save some cash gets them to bite.
Probably not likely, but Thabo is exactly the type of player the Spurs need.
I think the Bulls would do it for Kurt Thomas, but I do not think it would be worth it to the Spurs, we need bigs.
Nuggets will lock up JR. This is the first step in ensuring they have a little money freed up, plus they will get a better pick than the 20th....... They will now have 2 1st rd picks in an upcoming draft and could package them to move up even higher.
The Nuggets aren't done dealing. Someone will be moved and i would be suprised to see a couple of moves.
JR will be in Denver for a while. AI is only around for a short time and then JR has the starting spot to himself. I wouldn't be suprised to see AI slide to PG so JR can start at SG. AI sucks at PG but he can't be much worse than bringing back Anthony Carter
Im still hoping Camby for Hinrich happens.
It sucks that there will be no Chalmers but the long term payoff will likely be better,
Locking up J.R is going to take the full MLE, which in Denver's case means around 10 million because of luxury tax. That is a lot of dough, and I guess if they like him I can see it, they are not afraid to spend.
oh, and adding a 1st rd pick from Charlotte in a trade is alot more enticing than a first rd pick from the Nuggets........ I doubt the Nuggets even keep the pick for too long.

So the Nuggets are gonna pay JR Smith over 10 mill a year.
The Nuggets do not have any picks this year at all?
yeh but thats only for 1 year. AI expires next year which essentially wipes $40mil from the payroll.....
Nuggets can roll with JR/Melo/Nene and bring in help.
I would not be surprised if the Nugs paid him 10 mil, they are loco
Nope.
Yeah, try selling that to the owner.
I'd say you've had a bit too much to drink.
Do the Nuggets have early bird rights on JR? If so, they can hope he gets low-balled in free agency and offer him that with out going into more luxury tax for him.
