    Other Bs players added but who cares. I cant believe someone that old got traded for someone that young with pretty nice potential. Toronto gets a steal.

    But toronto also gave up their only big man with a reliable low post game.

    Willis was playing those east centers, wait till he gets a beating here in the west.

    I thought Keon had a nice game. Of the top, I feel the Raptors got the better deal.

    A larger issue - what are the Nuggs doin' with 4 centers (LaFrentz, Willis, Radojevic, and Garth Joseph). Willis will give their second unit some low post presence, but for how long? Willis is in great shape, but he's 38 and only doing 8.8 with 6.4 bounds. Radojevic is 24 and listed at 7'3" but he and Joseph are both on the IL.

    Kevin Willis did a pretty good job against the West when he was here in Houston. I think it was a great trade for Denver, getting an established big man to help them win NOW, while Keon Clark really isn't showing anything. People are all over Cato, Clark isn't exactly doing a lot more.

    I bet Denver likes the veteran leadership not to mention toughness KDub brings.Clearly Denver is thinking playoffs with this move.I also think Radojevic has potential,he was a twelvth overall pick in '99 and you can't teach 7'3.
