Idiotic Nuggets Sign Bobby Jones’ Death Warrant, Trade Him To Knicks
Despair, Bobby Jones fans across the world. It appears the 2008-09 season will be another nomadic journey for the Odyssean small forward.
Jones was traded today to the black hole of basketball talent that is the New York Knicks.
Knicks get: Taurean Green, Bobby Jones, 2nd-round draft pick in 2010
Nuggets get: Renaldo Balkman, cash, eternal damnation
News of the Bobby Jones trade reaches Iraq
Already awash with guaranteed contracts, the Knicks are expected to waive Jones (and Green). Jones, who only needed to stay on the roster until August 15 to have his nearly $800k contract for next season guaranteed, was doomed after the Nuggets signed Dahntay Jones and Chris “The Birdman” Andersen to one-year deals.

Here’s an analysis of the trade from the Bleacher Report on this black day in NBA history.
