The Nuggets can use Nene to trade for a shooting guard that will round out a team that could challenge for the West in a few years. Maybe Nene for Flip Murray and a future pick, or something like that. Either way, I applaud the Nuggets for getting the Nets to give up every chance they had of winning the East again in the next three years. Although, now that Shaq's in the East, that probably wouldn't have happened anyway.
The Nets better hope those draft picks are bloody awesome, or this could be a one-way ticket to box seats at every Draft Lottery for the next decade.

They're not Denver draft picks you know, they all have the possibility of being late lottery/ Early first rounders.
This only benefits Denver if Carmelo goes down, or can play the 2 because Kmart will get stomped out west. Murphy, Brand, Gasol, all these guys have success against him, on top of that now he plays Duncan and Garnett more.
3 picks and oversized contract for a guy whose really not going to push them that far is a total waste imo. We'll see.
