Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post doesn't think so, saying there is no way the Nuggets will be able to win a title in the Western Conference with the Oklahoma City Thunder in their way.
According to Kiszla, the Nuggets should consider trading for Miami Heat's LeBron James this summer, as it's their only legitimate shot at winning an NBA title. However, is his proposed deal enough.
Kiszla believes that the Nuggets trading Arron Afflalo, Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson is enough to court the Heat to give their No. 1 player to. However, with common sense, he knows there's also a possibility it won't happen either.
"Of course, there's always the possibility Miami would scoff at trading James -- or Dwyane Wade, for that matter -- in return for Lawson, Gallinari and Afflalo. Then we would know the rest of the NBA doesn't hold Denver's talent in as high regard as the Nuggets do."
Kiszla also says that there is a very good chance that Pat Riley will hang up the phone right away on the offer.
I honestly don't know, but would the Nuggets even consider doing this? Or is this just Kiszla's cheap shot at getting some article views?
We'll see what the Heat will do this off-season, but trading LeBron is not one of their options.
