One straight up for Kenyon Martin (2 risky years for 4) or in some kind of package deal for Larry Hughes (2 years for 3).
Still, hard to imagine.
Actually, I wonder if Denver would throw in their
Martin could fill in after Curry and provide that veteran presence...

You'd have to be real wary of Kmart's health and contract, but doesn't talk doesn't cost anything. But then again why would Denver want Francis when they have AI to hog the ball, score and turn it over? Only to save money and because they had no faith in KMart functioning well again. Caveat emptor.
I expect Denver to maybe win 1 against the Spurs (that's who they're slated to play, right?) Despite the winning streak I think they are a team ready to fall apart in the playoffs. I think they fouled their team up with AI, but he's certainly capable of winning (and losing) a playoff game by himself. We'll see ....
Denver has some parts we could use: Camby and Kleiza, maybe expensive Nene.
Yeah, KMart would be a continuation of the cycle we're all too familiar with which is trading for a guy we expect to deliver who shows up in bunny slippers and a suit. But all I'm saying is something we all suspect, Francis will be a tough sell.
Carmelo Anthony may be the real prize if the playoffs go sour.
I'd say there is an 90% chance Francis gets bought out. Who wants him other than in a trade for an even worse contract?
Well, I've been thinking about KMart and all the weaknesses of Curry you mentioned.
If we're paying anyway, would it make sense to trade for KMart, put him on the shelf for a few months getting healthy and come February or so let him tune up for the playoffs and simply use him like Alonzo is used in Miami?
He doesn't have to play fulltime. Just in spots and to add muscle here and there.
But, as Bo says, Camby could be a nice complement piece as well, though not for Francis per se.
Also, if KMart's contract is painful enough to Denver then maybe we could package deal Francis and JJ for, say, KMart and a pick or some change.
