BSN Nuggets Podcast: Randy Foye traded, J.J. Hickson buyout looms

Was the NBA’s trade deadline a dud? Harrison Wind and I go over the biggest deals of the day and what they mean for the teams that got busy. We also point to the deals that were not made and our biggest non-moves that include Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets and Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks.

With the Nuggets dealing Randy Foye to the Oklahoma City Thunder for D.J. Augustin, Steve Novak and two 2nd Round draft picks, we go over what the deal means for the team. Now that the deal is done, that leads us to wondering who will be on the roster ahead of the March 1st deadline for players to be released so they can be playoff eligible. Novak and J.J. Hickson look like buyout options, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein, so what could the Nuggets do to replace them?

With the addition of OKC’s 2016 2nd round pick and the Charlotte Hornets’ 2nd Round pick (protected 56-60), how many draft picks does that mean for the Nuggets? We answer that and another question on free agency from our Twitter listeners.

Denver will be back in action Friday, Feb. 19th, against our old friend George Karl and the Sacramento Kings. With 28 games remaining, the Nuggets will make their case for a playoff berth… or not. All Star Weekend is over, let the “second half” of the season begin.
