The trade involves Steve Blake and Julius Hodge going to Denver for Earl Boykins. If I was Denver I'd gladly do the trade to get Hodge. Good trade for both teams. Milwaukee might actually be able to win a few games now.

Hodge is actually going to the Bucks. So that makes it Hodge/Boykins for Blake. I've never been a Blake fan, so it seems like a steal for the Bucks to me.

Oops, well then. It sounds like getting Julius Hodge AND Earl Boykins is a huge steal.

Since all three players involved in the trade will be free-agents at the end of the season(Boykins has one more year, but he'll likely opt out), that's not a big steal for Bucks. Nuggets saved $ 6.4 million after this trade, which is the main target for them.

i'm disapointed that little Earl got traded b/c i enjoyed watching him play and I won't be able to see him play on TV anytime soon while he is in Milwaukee

bad trade for denver. they lost a scoring PG in boykins, even though they don't need one with AI, and gave up hodge. all they could get back was steve blake? blake is the jake voskuhl of point guards. no real weaknesses, but no strengths either. not good for the nuggets
