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.

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).
