The Knicks and Nuggets are discussing a trade that would send 2006 first-round pick Renaldo Balkman to Denver for point guard Taurean Green and small forward Bobby Jones, an NBA front-office source told Newsday last night.

The deal would mark the end of Balkman's mostly confusing tenure with the Knicks, who selected him with the 20th pick two years ago when Isiah Thomas said Phoenix would've swiped him if he hadn't. That scenario appears even more dubious now that the former coach of the Suns, Mike D'Antoni, is ready to ship Balkman out for little more than roster fodder.

Love it.  Absolutely love it.  He fills the Najera role off of the bench perfectly.  I'd like it if he were a little bigger because I'm not convinced he can do too much post defense, but I know he absolutely terrorized Melo whenever we played the Knicks.

I was hoping Bobby Jones would work out with the Nugs, but with us signing Dahntay Jones, it was pretty obvious Bobby was on the way out.  Now I hope that Chris Lofton picks up his play because we really need a young PG prospect to start working on.
