Balkman signs 3 year contract extension
Nugs also pick up Afflalo's option for next year. Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted the extension is for 3 years and $5.2 million, with bonuses for wins and minutes played. That's a bargain and a good sign Naldo will play more in the future.

BALKMAN IS THE NEW EDDIE NAJERA
1.7 mil per…As long as Balkman doesn’t do drugs or face a career-ending injury, that’s a bargain.
If they didn’t pick up AA’s option, I would have put Wark on the ballot for 2009-2010 worst GM of the year. Of course, nobody will beat the Wallace/Heisley combo at sucking at running a team. If the Suns give away Stoudemire, then Keer/Parson(?) will get close.

Why would bal;kman sign
Why would he sign an extension and continue to play for a coach who doesn’t appreciate/value his skillset if the last year or so is any indication. Sounds like career suicide! He can go and be some team’s Najera.

This a question I have for many nba types...
Are you just looking to get paid/security or are you want to excel in your craft as a professional. The money is not all that extravagant starting at $1.67M. Maybe front office made a promise to him ? He could also grow bitter and disappointed about not playin and negative attitude to the team.
Maybe GK has a secret plan to use him that we not privy to?

His playing time has been a major concern for fans since his arrival.
Anytime you get an offer of secure money for X amount of years in the NBA … you gotta take it, especially if you are a bench guy like Balkman.
Security is very important …
I hope he can somehow get into the rotation, but I just don’t know if it’s going to happen in a Denver uniform.
