Nuggets Tried To Get Hamitlon

An online story says the Denver Nuggets recently called the Detroit Pistons in an attempt to obtain Richard Hamilton in a trade.

The story, written by TNT analyst David Aldridge, was published Friday night on NBA.com.

"A league source said Denver had made a recent attempt to pry Detroit guard Rip Hamilton from the Pistons without success to show Anthony that the organization could still put talented players around him," Aldridge wrote.
The story did not elaborate on what the Nuggets might have offered the Pistons, who are thought to be willing to move Hamilton to help clear a logjam of players at shooting guard and small forward that includes Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince, Tracy McGrady, Austin Daye and others.

Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars told Pistons.com last week that he has had opportunities to make deals this summer but could not find one to his liking.

"We had opportunities to make trades this summer, but I thought they were deals that were going to make us regress or deals that were lateral, at best," Dumars said. "So I’m sure that would have satisfied the people who are asking, hey, let’s just do a deal. But that wouldn’t have made us better."

The Pistons open training camp Monday with media day and have their first practice Tuesday.

Probably involved K-Mart or Nene I'd assume.
Go Dumars!

actually nene and kmart probably werent the offer, even if it was jr and birdman we should have taken it. billups/rip/melo/kmart/nene is pretty damn solid but that sucks in three years lol. whatever dumars denied has me wondering. hes such a tool.
