Worst trade in Nuggets' history

WTF?!?!?!

Excuse me for my use of chat lingo, but I don't want to use vulgar language for this post.

The Nuggets traded center Marcus Camby to the Los Angeles Clippers for, get this, the option to exchange second-round draft picks in 2010.

Whoo! Yeah! Potentially better draft pick, wait, what?

We gave up our only defensive player for a chance to pick up an untested foreign player or an above-average college player?

It's like we just traded Camby for Marcus Liberty. Or Nicoloz Tskitishvili.

Couldn't we have picked up someone? Anyone? Hell, I would have settled for a first-round pick or our homegrown Nick Fazekas or even former Gonzaga standout Dan Dickau.

This is the worst trade in team history. Even worst than the Antonio McDyess to Phoenix trade back in '99.

Well, maybe it's best they didn't go for a first-round pick. Who was the last good pick that we've had this decade aside from Melo? Frank Williams? No. Mamadou N'Diaye? No.

Ugh.
