How about Batum?




Maybe the Denver Nuggets would want to get rid of Al Harrington. I'm sure I want to. How about this:

DEN trades:

Al Harrington

Raymond Felton

Wilson Chandler

Portland Trades:

Nicolas Batum

Chris Johnson

2 future second round picks.

Why Denver pulls the trigger:

Denver would do this because of many reasons. First, they get rid of the biggest blackhole on the team offensively and defensively. Next, We get Nicolas Batum. Batum in my opinion is a hardworking Wilson Chandler. He could come off the bench, play awesome defense and has a sweet shot from beyond the three-point arch. I know that most of you would think that losing Raymond Felton would be the problem but the draft is guard heavy and we could get some cheap, young, talented personnel to replace Felton. Chris Johnson wouldn't be bad also. Maybe the FO could think about replacing Chris Andersen with Amir Johnson or whoever, Johnson could easily plug the hole that the Birdman. 2 future second rounders wounldn't be bad either.

Why Portland does it:

First, they get some much needed depth in their frontcourt with Harrington. Plus he could be their good 5th option on offense. Then they get a much valuable asset in Felton. Felton would help ease up the load on Brandon Roy and could help offensively off the bench. Plus he could get this team on the break when they needed too and when they run they have some serious firepower. And last, they will get Wilson Chandler. Chandler could make an immediate impact on this team because it is a team that doesn't rely on one option only offensively.
