We have a solid roster and can go at least 8-9 deep into the bench.
Go Nuggs!

Money
I think not keeping Parker, Cleaves or Patterson comes down to money. Plus the key reason they would have kept Parker was his ability to apply full court pressure on the ball and I think they believe Dahntay Jones can fill that role for them. Ultimately I think they believe Parker, Cleaves and Patterson had skills that duplicated what other players already were capable of and keeping them would have been superfluous.

Have to disagree
If Smush and Patterson were free, we would have kept them. I thought Patterson was quite impressive this preseason; efficient and committed on D, by no means a duplication of anything else on our roster, and he can still score. He is probably the guy I would have kept if we could only keep one. But its probably not a terrible idea to keep a balls-to-the-wall-emergency guy like Juwan around. Bit disappointed, those guys played hard for us.

Glad you guys didn't drink the kool-aid
and try to defend Fazekas. Up here in Bismarck, both in the D-League and this preseason with the Nuggets, he’s looked terrible.
