Nuggets Send Boykins to the Bucks
The Denver Nuggets need some space from from the luxury tax. The Milwaukee bucks needed some scoring.
The Denver Nuggets have agreed to send Early Boykins to the Bucks.
The Nuggets are now 10 games into the deal with Allen Iverson, with Carmelo Anthony a few games out from coming back and Denver has agreed to send Boykins and hardly seen guard Julius Hodge to the Bucks for Steve Blake.
The little-guy Boykins has scored 20 points or more in eight of his 10 games since Iverson joined the team, but his time on the court was going to drop when Carmelo Anthony returns from suspension on Jan. 22.
This definately helps the Nuggets and their luxuray tax problem while giving the Bucks some much needed back-court scoring.
Boykins’ coming to Milwaukee definately meets a desperate need for the Bucks, who have lost leading scorers Michael Redd from his knee and Mo Williams due to his shoulder in the past week.
Redd is expected to miss at least a month, and Williams will be sidelined 2 - 3 weeks. Charlie Villanueva is also out indefinitely and Simmons hasn’t played a game this season and has needed 2 surgeries.
