Denver Discussed Mozgov for Gerald Henderson Trade

[CarlosJ23]

Interesting.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Charlotte discussed Gerald Henderson for Timofey Mozgov (Denver) and J.J. Hickson (Portland) but talks gained no traction, sources tell Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA

No traction prob because port didnt really wanna move hickson

[BRAVE KID]

Just want we need another 2-guard..who isn't a 2 guard. I think he plays good defense though..so that's something. I wouldn't mind him...he wouldn't sniff the floor though unless we planned to package one of our other 2-guards..

[CarlosJ23]

If we managed to land Klay Thompson or Eric Gordon (Both are apparently on the market). Omg

[CarlosJ23]

But you are right, We do need a back up 2 guard. A great shooter.

[DJiC]

henderson's not a great shooter but he's a scorer and thats what he can bring to the bench like JR did...just go out there and score....so the bobcats valued henderson with mozgov and hickson? or did they just value him as either/or...cause if it was mozgov and a pick i have no idea why the nuggets didnt cum in their pants and accept

There were talks Denver rejected Brandon Roy and a first for Mozzy. Somewhere I heard Iggy for Gasol. But Denver said hell no.

Iggy for Gasol was just the ESPN guys pre-game BS - it was never an offer.

I don't see Klay Thompson going anywhere, him, Curry, and Lee are the future for GSW.

Mozgov acts like he can play. The guy needs to learn how to catch the ball and play like a big. He is too inconsistent. I wish we traded him for a pick.

agreed.

Theres no bynums left in the west and it seems nugget bigs (beside mosgov) can at least contain the better centers...

Mosgov only came in handy last year cuz bynum was wrecking koufos's @#$%. I guess he could be big insurance tho

[BRAVE KID]

depth finds a way to come up. Maybe Mozzy will get another shot..but Randolph is not making things any easier.

[Manimal]

Still might come in handy if the Lakers make the playoffs and somehow shock the Spurs.

We needed him against the Lakers and we meet them again, we will need Mozgov.

PS it was reportedly a Grizzlies pick, which would be along where our pick will turn out. Most likely back-to-back. Both of that combine wouldn't net us a lottery pick. It's a weak draft anyway. The only players that I do like i.e

Oladipo - this guy is made for Karl's system. Good perimeter defender, great energy and deadly on the break. Athletic freak too.

Carter-Williams - 6'6 point guard who can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. Good defender since he's just taller than most point guards.

Seriously though, if we could trade up for someone like Oladipo. That would be awesome.

Dwight Howard is nothing like Bynum of last year, COMPLETELY different players, not even comparable

The Lakers are nothing like the Lakers of last year

there is no team in the league that we would be better off facing with Mozgov over Koufos

and Koufos' detriment to the team last year is so overrated its ridiculous, i mean honestly, Farieds defense on Pau was worse than KKs defense on Bynum but he doesnt get have the flack for it, Bynum was an absolute beast offensively last year and none of our guys could guard him

Yeah I overall agree with your post. My main point was no bynums are really left in the west let alone the league even. Brook Lopez is really the only comparable center thanks to his offensive game in the post. Last year bynum vs koufos however was like shades of 2000 shaq.... koufos was responsible imo for the game 1 loss. Was his weakness in that series overrated? I say no .... even charles barkley was saying nuggets needed to bench koufos for the series.
