Nuggets News: Thank You Houston

According to ESPN.com, the Houston Rockets have signed Bonzi Wells to a two-year deal for $5 million. This is a fantastic move by the Rockets, because it means he won't be playing for the Nuggets. Thank you Houston.

I just can't imagine that the Nuggets had any legitimate interest in this guy. He's everything Denver doesn't need. And I mean the city as a whole, not just the team. He's a bad character guy and a malcontent and he doesn't shoot threes. I never understood the attraction.

Now if we can just get some value for one of our big men. K-Mart has been talking like he wants to remain a Nugget and play hard this year. If he and Karl can patch things up, I'd be excited about him staying around. We do have a logjam at PF/C now though. Here's what the roster looks like right now:

Starters
PG - Andre Miller
SG - J.R. Smith
SF - Carmelo Anthony
PF - Kenyon Martin
C - Nene

Reserves
Earl Boykins - PG
Julius Hodge - G
DerMarr Johnson - G
Yakhouba Diawara - G/F
Eduardo Najera - F
Linus Kleiza - F
Reggie Evans - F
Joe Smith - F
Marcus Camby - C/F
Jamal Sampson - C

I just can't imagine what the Nuggets are planning to do about this. Someone's gotta go. But all the big names on our front line have proven they are unable to stay healthy, so it's a scary proposition to bank on any of them.

There's been a lot of rumors about K-Mart towards the end of the summer, and none of them sounded any good. The worst was the Zach Randolph for Martin deal. I hope to hear something better than that. And in case anyone was unaware of this, we still need perimeter shooting. For about the fourth consecutive season.
