(Boulder-CO) Thanks to Tymes Rhymes, a long time Nugg Doctor reader, for pointing out a rumor that Nene allegedly wants to be traded. I think that it is fair to say that the Nuggets management is not afraid to shake things up. We have already seen the maneuver to land AI, shake-ups that sent Earl and Julius Hodge to the Bucks just mere days after beating Milwaukee, and the all of the moves this summer. So, if Denver does trade Nene what is to be expected in return is a hot topic right now.
The rumor stems from this link and is said to have come from Peter Vescey:

I personally do not think that anyone will want to roll the dice on a player like Nene at this stage of the game. I would love it, but let’s be honest… He has a 60 million dollar contract, is out of shape, and is nothing but a huge question mark right now when his knee is concerned. If there is a team willing to throw their fate in the wind we should see if they want to take Kenyon Martin too! The Nuggets could sure use some draft picks, or young talent at center. Marcus Camby isn’t going to be able to play forever and it would appear that center is our most shallow position.

Stumbleweed,
I really like your ideas about Sampson and would have to agree. I think that he is only shy the playing the time that it would take for him to come into his own. He has two good knees, a start for the Nuggets, and is realitively young. What do we have to lose by giving him a shot?

I also kind of found it interesting that Nene would say that he is embarrassed with himself and then say such a thing.
Maybe he figures that the food in downtown Denver is just too good and he will never be able to get down to fighting weight while he is in the Mile High City.
I don't know how else to take it.
Thanks for reading,
