... Still i don´t get the reason why the nuggets trade youth for old?
The Nuggets traded a 29yr old who never lived up to his ratings (i remember the hours and hours of trade talks with the Suns a few seasons ago where i almost got him for the immortal Shawn Geiger, but if i remember correctly then his one single 34pt game killed the deal) for a 32yr old who is darn good. He averaged 21.5 ppg over the first 3 sims and played solid defense too.
So they traded (slightly older) production for a career backup. Not bad ...
