According to the Denver Post, should the Nuggets look to trade power forward Kenyon Martin, they may have some difficulty.  Martin has bad knees, a long contract, and was recently suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

That said, three high-level NBA executives said Wednesday that trading Martin was definitely possible. They agreed his knee is a big issue, as well as the money left on his contract. They were less concerned about the recent incident that led to his suspension.

"People are going to be nervous about his knee, contract and attitude," one Western Conference executive said. "People are very nervous about contracts that size. It's not impossible, but very difficult."

Carmelo Anthony wouldn't speculate on whether Martin would return next season.

"I don't know how that's going to hold up, that's all I can say," Anthony said. "I wish him the best. I hope they work it out."

"Why not for Zach Randolph?" one Eastern Conference executive said. "They owe him the same amount of money."

"Isiah Thomas might try to throw in Malik Rose or Maurice Taylor," the Eastern Conference executive said.
