Thunder acquire guard Randy Foye from the Nuggets
Novak isn’t even a part of the rotation while Augustin has slowly been falling out of it in favor of rookie guard Cameron Payne.
The twenty-seven year old Hickson has spent the three season in Denver with the Nuggets franchise and is in the final year of his contract.
Of course, this is just one possibility that’s a long way off. But regardless of their future, two picks and a respectable player like Augustin is too much for Foye. They also get a trade exception worth about $3.8 million. Under coach George Karl he has returned to the top of the National Basketball Association in assists per game with an average of 11.9, which is the highest season average of his career.
Augustin is a solid addition for the Nuggets whom are need of a secondary point guard to back up Emmanuel Mudiay.
The Thunder acquired Randy Foye from the Nuggets, according to reports.
They’re dominating the rest of the league and are on pace to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ all-time single-season wins record.
“It’s pretty satisfying”, Curry told NBA.com’s Bob Baum about the team’s fast start to the season. Still, he’s in the past year of his contract (paying him almost $6 million this season), it’s not saving the Nuggets significant money to buy him out, the team is not in financial trouble, he’s not a malcontent, and he’s been productive when given playing time. After being selected seventh overall in the 2006 draft by the Boston Celtics, he was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, who, in turn, sent him to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Brandon Roy. The fact that all of these contracts are expiring means that this trade won’t have any negative financial effects for either team moving forward.
