Joakim Noah pads his resume...

by Andrew Feinstein on May 28, 2008 1:05 PM MDT

It takes a lot of hard work to get on Nuggets' "GM" Mark Warkentien's radar. You have to rape your nanny, get caught with a loaded gun, participate in dog fighting, tear a girl's dress at a night club, hang out frequently at strip clubs, and so on. The Chicago Bull's Joakim Noah - whom I've advocated the Nuggets trade aging center Marcus Camby for - isn't quite there yet, but he's giving a yeoman's effort.

In addition to getting caught with possession of marijuana the other day, Noah forgot to put on his seat belt while speeding (if speeding is his thing, he'll fit right in with Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith).

That's all kiddie stuff compared to what Warkentien's Blazers and Nuggets players have been up to over the years, but if Noah keeps it up, he just might find his way onto the Nuggets roster after all.

Joakim Noah was my favorite college player while he was at Florida. I guess he could become a good inside/low post player with time, and if the Nuggets do some way trade Marcus Camby for Noah, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. As long as he stays away from Gainesville.

Noah needs a stiff dose of reality before he even enters anywhere near Camby's level of play. Maybe if CHI hires Bzdelik, he'll run him off like he did half the CU roster.

Noah rebounds, blocks shots, and plays real defense such as boxing out and getting and keeping in front of his man instead of letting an offensive player drive around him so he can block it from the side just like Camby does.

Offensively? His needs work but no question he's a superior and much higher IQ offensive player than Camby.

I'd trade Camby for Noah 10 out of 10 times... any day.

You left off a very noticeable Jailblazer. Damon Stoudomire at the airport, weed wrapped in tinfoil. Dumbest NBA arrest I can remember.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER

With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
