but maybe hornets send 2 2nd round draft picks, get the center for this season so we can work out our vibes, pay out jonas contract next season and trade for or sing a prime time center with the available cap space. Denver would want this to lower the cap just a little or even accumulate free draft assets or buy out Pat C now and make room for bigger trade involving their team option contracts. they could just keep Pat C at the 3 or 2 and play him as a sharp shooting 2 or 3rd unit guy behind braun brown and cam johnson and let him float through lineups and then play julian strawther at the back up pg/6man spot. That what i would do if i was nuggets except i would find a way to accumulate more draft assets.
