I wouldn't trade much for him but would be interested if they'd give him up for peanuts. Chauncey Billups looked like an absolute scrub when he was 23... PGs sometimes need more seasoning than other positions

I saw early on that D was going to be an issue with him...was always surprised at how he drifted so much as a defender.

Really depends on what we'd have to give up for him, but I find it stunning that Denver has given up on him so soon...and that is hardly a good recommendation for his ability as a player.

But he's a cheap bum and young, so worth the gamble- we need to lose for a few season, so he'd be a low risk, high reward move (as long as we didn't give up anything of value)

Not cheap enough. He has the Larry brown curse.

We don't need him.

D.williams and m.beasley dominated in college and underwhelmed in pros

This guy was a sales job. Don't be surprised he underwhelmed in pros

There's nothing there worth risking the time and opportunity and certainly not a pick

Much prefer baker and randle at this point

No stone should be left unturned, but the Nuggets would likely get the same trade return waiting to deal him as they would if they dealt him right now. So to them, it's worth it to have him as depth, and see if he can't develop a little more.

Sometimes a player does just need a change of scenery, but the Knicks should honestly concentrate on guys with strong fundamentals first and foremost. High level tools that you hope might translate would be useful for a team in a different situation than the Knicks. A team like the Warriors can bet on tools a little more on a flier type player, but the Knicks just need guys who can play actual team ball.
