PrintAt least the Nuggets front office is starting to lock down some of the future pieces of the team. Hopefully extending Balkman is a sign that we'll be seeing him some more on the court.
Balkman gets a three year extension, Afflalo's option locks him down for next year. So far I like what I have seen from AA, I just hope that he finds his shot soon, he'll be starting soon and is a pretty good upgrade over Dahntay Jones

Well, there just was a FanShot done on this, which made this post not that necessary...
But since most people here don’t look at the FanShots, then this is great.
BTW, how many of you don’t think that Chauncey is the best basketball player out of CU?

great move
this shows denver likes balkman and he feels the same way. afflalo can now worry about this season and not what will happen this year. both players will be major contributors this year and in the future,
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Agree completely.
I love that we can anticipate Balkman looking at legitimate minutes in the future now that Karl is going to be pressed to play a contract player. Same with Afflalo. I think Afflalo is less worried about his shot etc.. and more likely just out of synch because Karl keeps throwing him out in weird rotations.

Setting things up for a Big Trade at the Deadline?
The Balkman signing feels like the Nuggs are planning a big trade before the deadline that will involve Balk…I like him, and hope he gets more minutes soon…
well i think the reason they did this was...
next year balks salary is a lot lower…. so mayb they just wanted to save money… also they prob told karl not to play him this season for the beginning so he would think his value is low lol…
Great News
I love this because I love Balkman and I love Afflalo so far. But I can’t help to wonder, like Ace said, if this just sets things up for a trade. I really hope not.
