 Renaldo's style of play is similar to that of Ronny Turiaf; a high energy-high emotional player who makes up for his lack of size (6'8") with intensity, hustle, and unbelievable passion. Balkman replaces the hole left by defective Nuggets and current New Jersey F Eduardo Najera and will be an active member of the rebuilding phase in Denver, with his contract valid until 2010. A surprisingly good move by Nuggets President Mark Warkentien in effort to lower player personnel costs and still provide quality talent. Balkman’s salary is $1.28 million and Green and Jones salaries combined are worth roughly $2 million. Also Denver obtained a bonus $1-2 million as part of the deal. The Nuggets frontcourt now looks like this: PF/C Chris Andersen SF/PF Renaldo Balkman PF/C Nene PF Kenyon Martin The newly acquired Balkman's best performance came against the Portland Trail Blazers in which he had a season high 11 points, 10 rebounds (7 offensive), and 2 blocks.
