Re: Trade Rumor

Not a rumor anymore:

ESPN

The Bucks needed a scorer with all the injuries, but Boykins? And the Nuggets need a point guard, not yet another shooter, but Blake?

hmm.

Re: Trade Rumor

Blake who? I cant think of any good/decent players named Blake. They traded Boykins and somebody else for who???Why would they trade Boykins?



Wait....tell me its not Steve Blake.

Re: Trade Rumor

solid trade for both teams. The nuggets are about to be cash strapped with all those players making significant salaries from boykins, smith, iverson, and carmelo. And with the addition of iverson they needed to trade somebody to free up time and you cant have two undersized scoring guards on your team especially in the west. So now they traded for a pass first point guard who can knock down the three. Great trade for nuggets i like it. Blake and Smith can hang around the perimeter and hit the open shot while iverson and carmelo carry the scoring load. Watch out West Coast. Buckes get a proven scoreer who can help them until they recover from injuries and have an great scorer off the bench. Hodge will probable get cut

Re: Trade Rumor

I think they gave up 2 soon Julius Hodge he never got a chance 2 play wit all the times he got hurt and getting shot of all things, I'm also a UNC fan I saw him play us 4 years he can play and he has DEFENSE thats why they drafted him. As for Steve Blake Earl can shoot the 3 just as good so in my mind they gave up 2 better players than what they got back in just Steve Blake now if they would have gotten David Noel also it would be a lil bit better trade.

Re: Trade Rumor

They trade Earl Boykins AND Julius Hodge for.........Steve Blake?



Now, I'll admit I haven't been keeping up with the NBA as much as I used to, but since when did Steve Blake become a commodity?

Re: Trade Rumor

This has to be one of the dumbest, senseless trades I have ever heard of. What are the Nuggets expecting out of this, trading 2 players who are both better than Blake?

Re: Trade Rumor

I'm loving this deal for the Bucks. I gotta tip my hat to Larry Harris on this one.

The Bucks scored 77pts last night with Redd, Williams and Charlie V. out.

Re: Trade Rumor

Earl Boynkins is awesome. It's a shame he being moved to a team where he will essentially become the invisible man.

If I were Earl, I'd be pissed as hell about being traded to the Bucks. I have no idea who Steve Blake is, and I'm remotely familiar with Hodge.

This can't be a move Nuggets fans will like. Boynkins is a great player and people love him. To send him off to Milwaukee is disrespectful to say the least.

Re: Trade Rumor

Think poorman's (times ten) Kirk Hinrich. Blake is nowhere near the value of Earl, so it's obvious this was move was financial from the Nuggets perspective. Even with that said, this move is baffling.

Re: Trade Rumor

He had like 8 or 9 20 plus point games in his last ten. He and AI were clicking. I don't know.

From the article:
The Denver Nuggets need some breathing space from luxury-tax territory. The Milwaukee Bucks need backcourt scoring to counter their injury crisis.

Re: Trade Rumor

Blake is a solid player, but for Boykins and Hodge? Awful.

Great deal for the Bucks.

[Pointguard]

Re: Trade Rumor

Blake is shooting something like 37% from the field, and 22% from the 3. Ehhh

I think this MIGHT have made some sense for the Nuggets (in terms of getting cap relief) in a few weeks once they get Carmelo back and dont need Boykins scoring, but until then, they should have kept Boykins and had his scoring. They need it. I think the Bucks would still make this trade in a week or two.
