A simple trade for complicated times

PrintYes we all want the likes of a Marc Gasol, Jeff Foster, or Brendan Haywood. Fact of the matter is, unless we are willing to depart with JR "my name is Earl, no wait its not" Smith we're not getting any of those three. So why not do something simple? Like this
Den- Sends a future protected first round Pick to NJ
NJ- Sends Josh Boone to Denver
Why Denver does it- We are all quite familiar with the fact that Denver is not adverse to dealing away draft picks, as they pretty much have for what, three years running now? We also have seen that Denver is capable of pulling a move on draft day to nab a prospect if the opportunity becomes available. Boone offers just what Denver needs, a 6'10 240lb banger who averages just under 14 rebs per 48 minutes. Boone is no superstar, so he'd only need around 10-20 mins a game. He only costs us an extra 2 million so with an exception (not sure how the rules work when it comes to dealing draft picks and exceptions, maybe Denver has to take back an NJ scrub or something to make it work but its doable)
Why NJ does it- As bright as NJ 2009-2010 playoff hopes are...I'm pretty sure departing with Boone is not something they are adverse too. In addition a first rounder is probably a little over priced for Boone so they're getting a good deal. The first rounder gives them another young player to bring in to help build for the future, someone you know who likes to pass the ball a lot and stand around and watch while the pretentious superstar diva who just came to town tries to single handedly win a championship with a bunch of scrubs who are no better then the team he was just on but Jay-z promised him a big shiny new brooklyn penthouse and all the NY ass he could get...plus two verses in an upcoming song on some album which will probably get cut or at best put on some sort of bonus special edition disc 2 "the songs from the vault...featuring Lebron" bs. Anyway where was I before that ridiculous run on tangent of a sentence, its a trade that gives NJ some future options, a good deal and doesn't impede upon their cap space for the offseason.
Why Denver doesn't do it- We've seen that first rounders can be quite effective in the rotation when given the chance. Plus again the extra money comes into play, but its only 4 mil after tax which I'm pretty sure Stan the man could afford.
Why NJ doesn't do it- Umm Josh Boone is a fan favorite? He won trade immunity in a high-stakes poker game with Kiki "Yes I really did give NJ three first rounders and Kmart a max contract" Vandeweghe ? Fact is, at least imo, if you can get a first rounder for Josh Boone, you take the deal

i dnt think we can offer a first...
and he isnt worth it… hes worth a second, if that prob could b had for just the TPE
Josh Boone?
Okay, the Nuggets don’t just need any big man who can rebound. They already have Johan Petro who is already seven foot and he barely gets in. You think George Karl is going to play a guy like Boone over Petro if he were brought in? Come on. Seriously, the Nuggets need a big man who can not only rebound and defend, but can also make the opposing team’s big men work and defend. Josh Boone or Johan Petro aren’t necessarily going to do that. Keep the ideas coming though, not trying to be negative in any way. I just don’t think Boone is going to help.
Yep, no 1st rounder this year
but we could trade 2011 pick, or if we can get away with a second we do have the clippers second rounder from the cheik samb trade
We actually only have the Clippers second round pick if the Nuggets FO deem it of value to swap picks with them. So just to clarify, we don’t have 2 2nd round picks this year but rather 1 with the option to swap it.
Well, not quite
Ok follow if you will. According to nbadraft.com Nuggets Trade Camby to Clippers for rights to swap this years upcoming 2 round pick. However, the right to swap picks was lost because the Nuggets traded their upcoming 2nd rounder to New York in the Renaldo Balkman deal (effectively getting zero return on the Camby deal). Later in the season the Nuggets traded Cheik Samb (thow in from chauncey deal) to the Clippers for their pick this upcoming draft’s second round. So to clarify, correct we do only have one pick, but we don’t have the option of swapping it, we have the clippers pick, New york has ours
