James "Flight" White

According to a houston website James Flight White is being traded to denver for axel herevell's rights(never coming down anyways). James White is probably the best dunker in the league and this is his last chance to stick in the nba.... what better chance? he needed a chance to fastbreak and he might get that chance w us. Just youtube his dunks they r crazy. The only downside of this is we probably won't sign anyone else now because this brings us 13 players..... i would rather have him then Coby or Brumbaugh.... heres my source http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6631489.html

i dunno..

i like the fact that he is extremly explosive and i hope that he does get a chance to stick in denver but does this mean that we are not going after Flip Murray?? beceause i hope we still do. in on the fence with this one..

Welllll...

I don’t know much about him, aside from the fact that he can dunk. How is his D? His 3pt % doesn’t wow me. Does he have any kind of bball IQ?

I just have a hard time of seeing why this is a good thing… I just think Coby would be such a good fit on this team, even if its on the practice squad. I’d also much rather see Murray or Szczerbiak than him.

I was at three of those summer league games that he played in and I don’t even remember him. Probably more a sign of my old age than his lack of talent, but just saying he definitely didn’t stand out above the crowd. Nuggets sent out an email confirming the trade around 3:00 this afternoon.

Pretty good Weems replacement . . .

For those of you worried that losing Sonny meant something, James White is a more than adequate substitute. We don’t know if he can/will play D. . outside shot improving but not yet NBA ready, but he can fly outta the gym . . and like height, you can’t coach those ups!

James White brings a Weems package...

Just bring in Brumbaugh and Coby Karl to fight for the 14th spot if Kroenke is willing to spend another bit of money for it (which he should)…

looks kinda skinny for 6'7" but

After a month or two with THE HESS I’m sure he can beast out like NeNe!

by InboundingLobPass on Sep 23, 2009 12:23 AM MDT reply actions  

plus look at his FT%

he has like a 90% free throw percentage…. so he’s got that going for him!

Does he have a contract?

Either way this is a good addition to the training camp roster which he should be on. Dontaye Draper played with summer Nugs and tweeted that he is in Denver gearing up for training camp. That should indicate Karl and Brumbaugh are likely to have been invited as well. Either way the season is finally taking shape go Nugs

Let's just invite Wally to training camp

The other people need more competition as incentive to work harder…

Doesnt make much sense.

Dude is a dunking legend. Thats a given. But if this means he’s on the roster then its highly unlikely that the FO is gonna sign anybody else which is very unfortunate. They want a wing but there is a reason he’s only know for his dunking. Probably no Flip now and I’m still secretly hoping (not secret anymore) for McCants.

If nothing else

The Nuggets will have proer representation in the 2010 Dunk Contest!

by Joelsopinion on Sep 23, 2009 9:21 AM MDT reply actions  

ok....

turns out his contract is non guaranteed according to the Denver Post…so extremely low risk with the the potential for a high reward. Makes more sense that way.

by GottaLoveMelo on Sep 23, 2009 9:22 AM MDT reply actions  

Hopefully, this is enough for Murray and Kurz to come here

I’d have both of the players mentioned above (not to mention possibly Coby Karl) over James White. Just because he can dunk doesn’t mean he’s a good baller. Just look at Gerald Green and Darvin Ham (or whatever the name of that guy in the ’90s who could power-dunk but do nothing else).

So White is like Darvin Ham...

Do we REALLY need him?

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
