Neither

Petro is doing just fine and is uch better than either player. If you wanted to get on to replace tacos then ELy is more of a Petro type player and Cook is more of a Tacos player… Pick your poison but neither would get any run…

I remember Ely playing for the Hornets a few years ago.

He seemed to have decent size 6’10" 270? I think he’s gotta be about 30 years old. I do think that signing a player this late into the season is almost futile. I don’t think he’d play much and would be behind the curve trying to learn the "system.

Ely has had a history of overweightness, and although he has size he has nothing else whatsoever

We might as well sign Dan Issel.

I didn’t remember anything too special about his game. Just basically a big body.

Petro & Cook

Might have a good inside outside game if Cook can stay out of the paint he can be effective

All Cook can do is bromb threes

JR and Afflalo do that, but better.

It would be a cold day in hell

If Petro and Cook were on the Nuggets and on the court at the same time unless Denver was up by 30 points with 2 mnutes remaining in the 4th quarter…

If we sign Melvin Ely

Then we should also sign the corpse of Dan Issel, Allen Iverson, and my grandma.

Is your grandmama Larry Johnson?

If so, I’m down.

This was the era when all the kids had their teal and purple Charlotte Hornets jackets. Meanwhile I had my burgundy, blue and gold Nuggets gear. Those were lean years.

Heh

I always wondered why he was named GRAND-MA-MA!

Makes sense now.

Don't believe that team ever did anything noteworthy

but they were fun to wach with Grandmama, Zo, Mugsy Bogues and (wait for it…) Rex Chapman.

So Ely is bad

Apparently he failed to even make a CBA team. Yeah, the league that features Smush Parker, Stephon Marbury, and assorted other poor players…

by Uh on Mar 22, 2010 8:41 PM MDT reply actions  

Theoretically this should go in the FanShots section as a link

But I’m okay with it being here, as few people use FanShots.

Ely is big but nothing else. (to Uh) Didn’t the CBA fold?

Cole Aldrich is a bit better than Ostertag...

Which is like saying that horse poop tastes a bit better than dog poop.

Not that I’ve tasted it before; I’m just trying to make a bad analogy.

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.
