I'm not sure why DEN wants 4 first round picks. This is one of the weakest draft classes in decades. For example, North Carolina supposedly has 3 first round picks... And they're barely ranked in the top 25!
Favors is 19. Who knows how he will mature. I seriously doubt he's Derrick Coleman though. One can argue that RIGHT NOW Mozgov is the better player. One can argue that Mozgov will be the better player in 5 years.
What else is NJ offering? Harris? OK. Fine. He's good, although he really hasn't grown much since he was traded to NJ. But he could be flipped to another team. PLUS, DEN has a PG in Lawson... So what worth does Harris really have if DEN keeps him.
This is what's crazy. This rookie GM is a scouting geek. LOVES draft picks. OVER VALUES THEM. I venture to get this upcoming draft will have ZERO future all-stars. Who cares if you have 10 first round picks. I bet not one player will be better than Gallinari in 5 years.
So, getting Corey Brewer, Felton, Gallo, Chandler and a first round pick, and dump Balkman's salary. This isn't enough? They want Mozgov too?
LOL! Screw DENVER.
