    Balkman to Nuggets: One Knick had some trade value, after all

    The Knicks just announced that a 2010 second-round draft choice, guard Taurean Green and guard/forward Bobby Jones have been acquired from Denver for forward Renaldo Balkman and cash considerations.

    Somebody explain this to me.

    It doesn't seem plausible that the Knicks feared what Balkman, a versatile, energetic reserve, would demand from the Knicks once his contract was up in 2011. Perhaps the Knicks see more in Green and Jones — two sub-mediocre NBAers — than I do. Perhaps the 2010 second rounder will turn into a Nick Van Exel steal.

    Somebody explain this to me.
