    Jackson for Faried maybe, sounds fair for both teams.

    Why does that make any sense for Denver?

    To be fair, nothing has made any sense for anything that the Nuggets do.

    EDIT: Forgot about Waiters. Time for bed.

    Probably makes the most sense. Can backup both 3/4

    I said "Fair" in terms of the players/asset traded. how the hell i know why Denver wants Jackson when they still have Lawson on the team. they could very well trade Lawson for whatever need as well.

    I just hope OKC doesn't fleece Denver in this trade.

    I expect OKC prefers Chandler, but wouldn't be surprised if Denver was aiming to give up Faried which resulted in the trade falling apart.

    What are the chances that Denver aims to do a complete rebuild/firesale? Lawson/Chandler/Faried could/should net you a pretty nice haul, especially considering the arms race in the West.

    Denver have several 'decent' big men, OKC doesn't.

    * Denver PF/C: Hickson, Arthur, McGee, Faried and Nurkic.
    * OKC PF/C: Ibaka, Perkins, Collison, Adams, McGary and Jarret.

    So basically OKC has Ibaka, Adams and Collison. With playing Durant and Jones some minutes at the 4.
    Denver can also play Chandler and Gallinari at the 4.

    If Jackson goes to Denver, there is a big guy (maybe 2, depending on the package) going to OKC.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=oa2abvu is possible with draft picks exchange off course ...

    Just in theory, Pat Bev and Dmo for Reggie? Would you do that and how hilarious would it be for Pat Bev to end up on the team with Westbrook.

    Gotta be for Afflalo. The Waiters experiment has been underwhelming

    Nothing OKC is doing this year is making sense. Waiters is an ok player but is also very immature witch can be a cancer for a team trying to win championships. Also moving Jackson for possibly Ty Lawson i guess is ok but Jackson is obviously the better player with the highest upside, and right now OKC needs the best players they can get

    If it's for Wilson Chandler, I rather OKC have him than Portland. Is that weird? Lol

    Beverly >>>> Jackson

    I don't know where the idea that Jackson is special came from... He isn't.

    In what universe is Jackson a better player than Lawson?

    Are you a Thunder fan? Do we owe them for the Harden mistake?
