(Chris Broussard Twitter) Rockets want Nene, Denver not interested

It's not happening for Jermaine, we would get picks/assets from another team.


These picks would probably be put on the table with our others for Nene.

 

That would make zero sense to trade an expiring contract for another expiring contract. Jermain Oneal is not getting traded for Battier. There is zero return in that trade.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Sources close to me are saying that the Denver Nuggets are willing to trade Nene to the Houston Rockets for K...Nah I'm just playin

 

This pretty much confirms with what the OP posted, Nene is staying a nugget.

With Nene wanting to stay in Denver and the Nuggets already looking to extend Nene, Its pretty much a done deal that his not being traded.

Its time to start looking at for a young center~! :grin:

 

How many of you have actually watched this guy? Please no. I've never seen a more clueless and stupid NBA player. You think Jordan Hill is bad and infuriating, just wait until you get a load of JaVale.

All he does his jump and wildly swat at shots, often resulting in goal tends. His help defense is pathetic for what it should be. Has no idea how to position himself and doesn't like contact. He's not a good post defender, because he gets backed down without hardly putting up a fight.

He also never learns seems to learn from his mistakes, and doesn't seem to have the desire to get much better. So many times I've seen the Wizards coaches just shake their head after another stupid play. Trust me, we don't want this guy. He's simply not a starting center on a winning team.

 

I thought Nene was.

 

cough cough brooks cough

 

Good. Nene is a good player but he's only going to extend this mediocre period for the Rockets.

The Rockets need to be doing everything to get a superstar player. Not more role players or borderline all-stars like Nene.

 

They'll change their tune by Thursday.

Not saying the deal will happen but I have a hard time believing a player on his level is essentially "untouchable".

 

Outside of Martin and Scola, the rockets have nothing of equal value for Nene. Plus they are about to have him sign an extension with them. So, game over buddy, the rockets are lottery bound! :grin:
