Balkman Sent Packing to the Mile High City

The Knicks traded forward Renaldo Balkman to the Nuggets today for a 2010 second-round draft choice, guard Taurean Green and guard/forward Bobby Jones.  It is highly likely the Knicks will waive both players.

This is a solid deal for the Knicks.  They get out of Balkmans contract for this year, weren’t going to re-sign him anyways, and got a draft pick.  Not too shabby.  Especially for a guy who hasn’t shown too much yet in the NBA.  But then again, he was playing for the Knicks…Maybe a change of scenery will help.  Nonetheless, a good move for the Knicks.
