Why would the Kings want the bloated contract that is Nene?
Wells, Nuggets eye sign-and-trade deal

because he can play

I think he has shown some flashes that indicate he can play. However, only in todays crazy NBA market does his past performance merit the type of contract he received.

So they are just going to up and get rid of a 23 year old F/C they just signed because they can't trade Martin? That makes little sense.
By "best" do you mean "most expensive?"
JR Smith.
Camby makes $9M next year. That would fit into Bonzi's desired salary. No fillers needed. Logic would dictate that Denver is likely more willing to trade a 32 year old before they thought about trading a 23 year old.

Career: 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Last year: One minute, then major sugery.
Not worth the risk...Especially at 10mil a year.

Yeah...I dont really think those numbers are anything to get excited about. And everyone says he can defend the paint. Can he? I know he isnt much of a shotblocker, he got less blocks (and barely more rebounds) then Jamal Sampson a few seasons back, with twice the minutes.

What, do you really think he's gonna continue on a 1 injury per 3 minutes of PT ratio? He can play for the next 4 years and only miss a handful of games a year just like he can re-aggravate his injury in the opening 30 seconds of this year's opener. The guy was unlucky...

Strange thing is they want Bonzi. But he's not a shooter or someone to rely on for jumpers either. Yet, Eddie House/Rush/Pargo/KVH/Ju. Jones are all out there still. From a Denver stand-point, they should split the MLE on two of those guys.
If we can get Camby for Bonzi - I'd be all over it .
Yes, Camby's 32, but the guy can still go, even if it's at 60-65 games a year. I'll take that for what he brings to both sides of the basketball. Camby/Artest would be an incredible force on defense and energy. Camby's decent offensively as well.

Did you miss the part where Nene is a center? Or the fact that he is younger? And they just committed loads of cash to him?
I responded to your "...having a Shooting Guard that can play. Or having one at all, for that matter." when I mentioned JR Smith. I never said he could shoot.
Bonzi Wells is your answer to Denver's "shooting problem?" That's like saying, "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

I am aware:
Nene will be in Denver far longer than Camby and thus the "PF" or "F" designation will go away. Elson was let go for this reason as well, I suspect.

He's a PF and a C! Either way he shares time with Camby and Kenyon Martin. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Bonzi isn't MY answer to Denver's shooting problem. Im not the freaking Denver Nuggets. THEY are interested in acquiring him. Not me. I look at it from a Kings standpoint. If they want something, I don't question why or how it would fit for them. That's their freaking problem. The freaking Celtics could wanna trade for another PG for all I care.
Bottom Line, they have a shooting problem and they want Bonzi Wells. They got no good Shooting Guards. Bonzi isnt a good shooter yet they still want him. And if you know SO much about the NBA, because like you said, I clearly don't, you think a guy that played 18 minutes a game for the HORNETS is the solution at shooting guard for a team hoping to contend like Denver? You said it so you must believe so. And if that's the case like it clearly seems to be, I don't think im the one that doesnt know what he's talking about between me and you...
Nice arguing with ya, I got other things to do. Take care.

I wasn't aware this was anything more than academic.
Fine. You haven't made that all too clear up until now.
I know.
Freaking!
Did you read what I wrote? I'll make it easy for you:
I never said he solved their "no good Shooting Guards" problem either. You may infer that JR Smith can play shooting guard and is currently employed by the Denver Nuggets from the statements I have made. And that is about all.
Clearly.
I'm glad it was good for one of us.
Have fun.

You're right, of course. This has devolved from a hypothetical salary cap deal to 'who would the Nuggets be more willing to give up?' Nature of the internet...

He had Jerry Reynolds on who said a sign and trade was highly unlikely. They'd have to get a real stud to even consider going over the luxury tax threshhold, and that most likely isn't gonna happen.
I don't see a sign and trade happening re: Bonzi. I think his agent is talking out of his rear end to be honest.

Exactly....and now especially, why trade anything for Bonzi if you can just sign him to the MLE?
Since no stud is coming to Sacramento in exchange for Bonzi his only chance is if Kings find a way to move Kenny and it will be combined with Bonzi's S&T in one deal.He had Jerry Reynolds on who said a sign and trade was highly unlikely.

That's pretty funny... and a burn on KT. On a side note, it sure is going to be difficult to be excited about KT on the Kings next year as most of us have taken turns bagging on him... oh well... I guess we should all root for him to do really well so Geoff can trade him.

No, he really, really can't. Not on offense, not on defense. Nene's best case scenario is to eventually develop into a player who puts up Kenny Thomas numbers. The extra height and bulk means squat considering the guy can't block a shot, and doesn't do anything special in defending the post. He's got no game away from the basket and picks up garbage points inside. He was a downright embarassment against SA in the playoffs last time he played, and I don't see why that's going to all of a sudden change now that he's coming off a major surgery. There are a dozen big men who would play for the league minimum who would put up the Nene numbers if they had similar minutes. The guy is a waste of space, just because it's A LOT of space doesn't make him worth coveting.
Where did you hear this?
I would let Bonzi walk a thousand times before I even remotely considered taking on Nene at $10M a year.
