RUMOR: Denver Nuggets trying to pry Andris Biedrins from Golden State Warriors

 Kenyon martin and JR smith would make next year a black hole. Everyone would just hafta go away and come back after their contracts expired.

Kenyon for Biedrins and Gadzuric or Radmonovic…
it doesn’t make complete sense for both sides, but I see the advantages for either team.
so is that a fair trade?

And they can consider things properly blowed up.

What if Biedrins just had an off year last season due to the injury? What if he’s still a double double machine? And he has great hands and knows how to finish! He and Steph would work well together after building some chemistry! And he’s still young! Are we willing to possibly give that up for an injured veteran? The only logical reason to make that trade is for the skrilla but talent-wise, I don’t see it.

Well as of lately the ones on this site have been true…

Carmelo or Billups for Biedrins would be a steal! Crazy notion and don’t believe that would happen unfortunately. But I think that a trade for Martin would be plain horrible. I don’t like Martin at all. I believe he’s way past his prime (kinda overrated), too old, too often injured (like we need another injured sub on the bench), and I don’t like his attitude which I think would be a cancer in the locker room.

  Yeah, I doubt they need much leverage, I was thinking they could probably pry him off with a piece of cooked spaghetti?

I say no simply on the fact that I don’t want to have to look at that ugly lip tattoo on his neck for 82 games.

We will not be trading Monta or Beans unless we get equal value in return. This team is being sold and just as Matt Steinmentz has stated the assets of this team are its players and giving our best players away is not going to be acceptable to new ownership. Not saying a trade is not possible. It will not be done to strip this team of its talent. The Maggette deal was done for a reason and was gonna happen regardless of the sale. Any major future deals will not happen just for the sake of dumping salary. We will get talent back. Now Monta and Beans for Carmelo? This is a strong possiblity. The news is that Denver will definitly trade him if he does not sign his 3 year $65M deal. But Beans for a malcontent and broken down KMart will NOT happen.

The Nuggets seem to be more interested in shoring up their frontcourt than backcourt (Billups + Afflalo), so it could look something like:

Biedrins, Randolph, Azubuike, Morrow or Turiaf for Carmelo

I’m unclear what Denver exactly wants, and I’m not sure how it works with Morrow’s contract. I suspect they would want Morrow more than Turiaf, but you never know. I don’t think they’re too interested in Monta, so it might take a Beans deal to make a Melo deal happen.

I don’t mind any combination that doesn’t involve Curry for Carmelo. If you have a chance to trade for a top 10 player, you pull the trigger even if it involves many of your good young players.

that Riley’s been talking about.

I wish the Warriors would target Caron Butler.

The experiment last year broke down in the Playoffs, Haywood is going elsewhere, and it looks like they’re trying to get rid of Damp. I think if we packaged Beans w/ someone we could make a play to get him off their hands. Maybe Reggie?

It doesn’t work on the trade machine because they didn’t update it. The BYC on Granger contract expired today. So we get Granger, the Pacers get Lawson, Wright, and Gadzuric, and the Nuggets get Biedrins. I think that’s a pretty fair deal. We get a guy we could really use, the Pacers get a point guard, power forward, and an expiring contract for next year, who have a boat load of money coming off the books next year. I think they would be close to 45 million off the boooks, and that doesn’t include guys that they will probably keep. The Nuggets get Biedrins, who they want, and only have to give up Lawson, who is good, but has not done much so far.

AB is 24 and has a reasonable(awesome if he comes back as we know him )contract playing a position where you can consider yourself very very lucky if you have a player like him for that money. I agree last season was not good but as we all know he played injured(or not 100 % at least). If anything there is no need to rush. We are allready at a fresh start(considering we have like 15 mil. $ of expiring contracts) and now if we trade we trade to improve not to even more weaken this allready weak team. Look at the contracts offered to second/third tier players. Everybody is going mad right now and we don’t have to panic since we are not a top player in this Lebron saga and stuff. But if a chance to land a very good players arise I’m all for it bu Kenyon Martin for AB just isn’t it. If it was Melo then we should listen. Other then him(maybe Nene) no thx.

Nope. He’s a top 10 center in the league, who gets double-doubles and scores efficiently when healthy.

Dumb trade idea, what would we do with Billups? He’s not a 2 guard and we a point guard.

I cannot understand why people on this blog act like Beidrins is some kind of albatross. I just don’t get it. Is it because he’s not an offensive force? He lacks a low post game? Beidrins is the least of our problems. He’s does too many things we need well.

Beans’ contract isn’t that bad when compared to other average to below average starting centers. Plus he is still young and people have been saying/hoping he can improve and become a legit starting center(like that one year), so he will continue to have suitors.

We shouldn’t pas up the chance to pair Curry with Melo. You can build a great team around those two.

We’ll need to convince Melo to stay. A new dynamic ownership group should be able to do that.
