"Nuggets Eyeing Wells" (merged)

For a guy with shaky knees..

Wouldn't that deal put us into the luxury tax?

Kenyon MArtin is overrated anyways. YEah, the heart and desire are there most nigths, but I don't think he's really that good. JKidd made him look good in NJ, and that's why he got the big deal with Denver!

Just a thought. The most Bonzi can get is the mid level excemption. What if Petrie talks the Maloffs into a one year deal and rescues Bonzi with a 8 mil deal. Gives us another year of Bonzi and maybe at the end of the year he resigns with us or at the least he has had another year to improve his value around the league. Not going to happen, but it would be nice.

The only way I think this would have happened is if we used the $ we gave Salmons on a big man who we needed and still do, more than ever!!! If we spent our MLE visely, then we would still have a need for Bonzi to maybe come off the bench and be at the team's disposal, also keeping his weigh in check etc. But now, feelings are hurt, we signed Salmons, and we are jammed at the 1-3 positions and need lots of help at 4-5, so I don't think it's going to happen.

I also agree that Kenyon is trouble and we need to rid ourselves of KT, not get more bad contracts for troubled people. Kenyon is one of the highest payed players on the Nuggets and has been suspended for actions not cohesive to the team, he also has had injury problems and hit performance doesn't warrant his contract and also his attitude problem.

Bonzi could be a problem, as he has demonstated in the past and with his current contract situation. Artest on the other hand has been a breathe of fresh air thankfully. We sure could have been in deep with trouble if our potential troublemakers blew up at the same time (Artest, Bonzi, and KT)

Its called "market value". Bonzi's market value was set much lower than what the Kings had offered him. Simple as that. He chose to decline the offer and now he has to deal with the consequences. The Kings will be fine.
