We should target one of the Bobcats Guards....

everything the nuggets do with the roster from this point on will be directly tied to the salary cap, tax and long terms deals. look at last year when dahntay jones was a D leaguer and chris andersen was out of the nba for 2 years due to suspension. denver wants to pay as little tax as possible. they go about it by a one year deal at the minimum salary. unless it is a major deal like last year when they did billups for iverson it ain’t going to happen. i like kmart and think he is worth every penny he is paid. he has 2 years and 30 million+ to go on his deal. the front office would like to unload his contract but i cannot see it happening this year. i think it is pretty simple from this point on. there are all kinds of players that can help denver. i cannot see the nugs doing a deal with carolina just so ai can get a roster spot with them.

We’d really miss K-Mart’s mean streak and defense, but Diaw is an underrated playmaker who can play all positions, and Vlad is a capable backup SF. However, it really just is one big-contract somewhat overpaid player for two smaller-contract somewhat overpaid players (Diaw isn’t THAT overpaid, but Vlad is).

the bobcats are for sale so they will not do anything that gives them added financial obligations. to move kmart 2 things must happen. a team will have to take his contract at 30 million for 2 years AND the nuggets get a starting center. nene becomes the starting power forward. not being able to get rid of kmart is a nice problem to have and a blessing in disguise UNLESS he gets hurt. the only upside to that is if an injury ends his career, insurance pays the money and the nba gives denver an injury waiver to the salary cap. look for the nuggets to bring in nick fazekas a 6’11" shooter. denver cut him in training camp last year and he played for boston in the summer league.
