The Rumor You Didn’t Hear About: A Big Man Headed to the Denver Nuggets?

 
With Carmelo Anthony now on the sidelines for at least a month, the Denver Nuggets must make a deal to continue improving their season. They are currently on a league-leading five-game winning streak, with a record of 25-12—second-best in the Western Conference. Newly-acquired center Johan Petro is a young talented player that could produce quite nicely behind Nene, if given heavy minutes. Rocky Mountain News says that head coach George Karl has specifically stated that the team needs another big body on the roster. With a very competitive Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets are seeking a big-name player that could step up for them and battle for a high-seed in the playoffs. Who could possibly be headed to Denver? I guess we will just have to wait and see. Check out LayupDrill.com for daily updates on the rumors that you haven’t heard about! (link)
