Nuggets Trade for Renaldo Balkman

Credit the Denver Nugget’s front office for doing something right this off season. They went out and got Balkman for a bag of chips. Balkman came Denver’s way for a scrub backup point guard, barely used Bobby Jones, and a 2010 second round draft pick. It is baffling that the Knicks would trade him after […]
