i dont want jvg either. salmons has pg skills and he is tall. the fact that AI and Salmons aren't buddies has been stated everytime his name comes up. The front office should talk with AI and see if he is willing to coexist with him. AI has changed since he was in Philly. I think Salmons has changed as well. Maybe they are a better fit now.
I'm open to other ideas, but right now I know Sac would give us Salmons for Najera. So thats the least the nuggets could do opposed to doing nothing.
I highly doubt Monta Ellis is available. Ellis at 6'3 with AI in the backcourt would be at taller wings mercy most nights.
The offical trade I would propose is Eddie Najera for John Salmons and Justin Williams. Williams impressed me with his effort at Wyoming. They were a sub .500 team that he took to his conference title game. Hed have games where he'd pull down 20 rebounds and 10 blocks. Could be a future glue guy for some NBA team. Kings fans love his energy. He got some bad pub for being accused of doing things he didn't do earlier this year. I'd expect they would throw him in.
Ime Udoka isn't getting much time with the Spurs. The Nuggets should at least check and see if they can pick him up.
At one time Kmart would have been considered an all star level talent (one of a big three). Camby to me is one of the big three. Personally I think Salmons and Udoka could make a pretty big difference. I think JR fighting for time will either just really piss him off or motivate him to play defense.
I dont think trading for another "star" and liking getting a crappy contract is going to be good for the nuggets.
