Renaldo Balkman to Leave The Nicks For The Nuggets


The Denver Nuggets have acquired forward Renaldo Balkman from the New York Knicks in exchange for guard Taurean Green, forward Bobby Jones and a second-round draft pick in 2010. The Nuggets also get cash in the deal, announced Monday by Mark Warkentien, Denver's vice president of basketball operations. The 6-foot-8 Balkman averaged 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 65 games for the Knicks last season. He has averaged 4.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in two seasons with the Knicks, shooting .499 from the field. Green averaged 1.1 points in nine appearances with Denver last season. Jones averaged 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in two stints with the Nuggets during the 2007-08 season. Was this a smart choice for the Nuggets to give up guard Taurean Green, forward Bobby Jones and a second-round draft pick in 2010 for forward Renaldo Balkman? We'll know when the season starts up to see if he lets the Nuggets down, hopefully not.
