Because McGee is a lot younger than Scola. Because Young and McGee's contracts are expiring. Because the Nuggets probably think Karl can transform Young and McGee into quality players.
Oh wow, people in droves are defending today's trades.....so we got a late 1st rounder. What is that going to give us? Another Budinger? AWESOME! What's that? We'll have more money to spend this summer on FAs? On who? No one is coming here, what UFA can we throw a max offer at who wouldn't get it from somewhere else they'd rather play? I saw the trades and thought for sure this place would FINALLY have it's share of "what the hell is Morey doing?" threads, but 95% are defending this? Jesus kill me now.
