Golden Nuggets: Look who's climbing up the standings...

About why New Yorks offer is worth than nothing. You said how could I possibly forecast 30 to 40 wins. The current team, with anthony, is on pace for somewhere between 40 and 50 wins. I think forecasting a drop off after an Anthony trade is very reasonable. The guys New York is offering are not top level guys.

In terms of why it is worse than nothing, I’ve already stated that it leaves the team in a never never land of not good enough to compete and not bad enough to get a top pick. Another reason not to do it is the new CBA. It is possible that a new CBA would restrict Anthony’s movement and that they would be able to get a better deal then. I think these odds aren’t fantastic, but they are better than New Yorks offer, which is garbage. Would you accept Birdman, J.R. and Forbes for Anthony? Is New Yorks offer any better than this?

but i was really shouting it from the rooftops an all that.

for the most part… I still don’t know what jerseys we were wearing during the Minnesota game because I wasn’t watching that game and I forgot which one we wore at the Kings game we lost (guess I shunned every memory I had of that game) other than that..

Nuggets are 1-1 away wearing their “home jerseys” that they did way early in the seasons (only the first two road games did we wear our home jerseys while the home team wore the away jersey)

Nuggets are 6-7 to my knowledge wearing the standard away baby blue jersey

and 1-4 wearing the Navy Blue Alts.

Both look amazing! The navy dark blues with gold trim is one of my favorite uni designs in all of sports.

those are so nasty… i love mine i always rock it around.

those are my fav

I found it here.

dumb mistake, my bad.

Problem is, we don’t really have assets, unless of course we want to give up future draft picks and/or Ty Lawson and I’d say “hell no” to that prospect.

Okafor isn’t leaving even if the Hornets are owned by the NBA

kaman is still injured and isnt worth much

the commission goes to his old agent.

Plus, he has no leverage/credibility. It’s one thing if Melo refuses to play for you, but a young player like Chandler, that’s a whole different story. We could always ask for Gallo instead. Either way, both of their refusals to play in Denver doesn’t matter. What you do is then find another team who wants to take on Chandler (i.e. the Clips) and trade him for a piece from that team (i.e. Chris Kaman).

nobody here knows anything about who is demanding what and why. its all made up

Posted this for you yesterday, but you didn’t bite. Since you’re back, here it is. And if you have any more secret insights from your FO, please do deign to inform us. Your connections must be way up high in Knicks Valhalla…

I thought we’d gotten rid of you the other day, but you’re back for more. Just want to make clear that plenty of us don’t hate the Knicks in the least. Some of us are indifferent, and others, like me, generally root for what’s good for the NBA—and having a more competitive Knicks team is, imho, good for the league. (I’m always for more parity…)

Your assertion that any particular Nuggets fan who doesn’t want to trade Melo to the Knicks holds that opinion due to hatred of the Knicks IS JUST PLAIN ILLOGICAL! Must say, though, that your persecution complex is perfectly understandable (and transparent) due to the fact that, well, you’re a Knicks fan!

Still, I doubt many fans with an ounce of empathy revel in how low your organization has fallen over the past decade. And just when the truly bizarre Thomas era was beginning to recede into nightmarish memory, Walsh had to go and hire Mike Fucking D’Antoni! Off the charts STUPID!!!

With the talent you have, the team won’t ever be in the shitter. And since you’re in the East, you’ll probably make the playoffs even if D’Antoni wakes from his latest stupor and declares defense to be tantamount to the plague. Maybe he already has! But you can’t even come close to winning it all with that guy at the helm.

Now that I’ve gotten all that off my chest, let me get to the point: Nuggets fans don’t particularly want a trade with the Knicks because we think the FO can do better elsewhere. Simple as that. If it has to happen to satisfy Melo, and it’s the very best thing for the organization because it takes care of all the other complications we don’t need to belabor here——it’ll happen.

I hate to break this bad news to such a troubled and fragile soul as you, Alleyhoopster, but ragging on Nuggets fans as a much-loathed troll won’t make it happen for you. Maybe you should take a look at our suggestion the other day to go create your own video game. NBA GM Fantasy Hero will keep you distracted for a while, not to mention out of our hair, though it won’t actually make a shit of difference for your team.

Speed, defense, and 3p shooting out of your starting backcourt. What more could you want?

Flip Fields and maybe some other players around for a good center. It’s about assets people, it’s about assets! If you don’t have them, you can’t maneuver in this league. Thats why trading Melo while we can, in my opinion is imperative. We get VALUE in return that we can then make whatever we want out if it. If we chose to keep that value, great it should help us win games; if we chose to trade that value, great that will help us wins games; if we chose to trade that value for draft picks, great that will help us win games. Letting Melo walk will not help us win games in the future!!!

JR is also likely gone, and they’ll move Bird and Harrington if they can. The lineup you describe might line up for one or two games. Don’t forget, you are advocating starting a guy who can’t even get off the bench in NY.

any roster that has birdman listed as a legit, reliable big is crazytown.

that has nothing to do with the amount of pay a player makes. Which is why places like Denver and inevitably OKC will lose star players.

This is partly a owners revenue sharing issue, but it’s mostly on David Stern. That is how he markets the NBA, and until he goes to a more team oriented focus in marketing, places like Denver will remain unattractive. Players think they can’t expand their brand in Denver, and they feel that the glamour of big markets will help that out.

Unfortunately it’s a fact of life. Oh, and before anyone brings up Kevin Durant, he signed essentially the same contract Melo did after his rookie year. Wait till that expires, then we will see what kind of “good guy” KD is.

Aurora has a large AA community too.

5 % seems low given the numbers of AA students at Manual, GW, Montbello and East. And even if it is only 5%, 5% of 600,000 is still 30,000, which is a good sized demographic.

DC, Detroit, Cleveland, LA. and anywhere in the south like Memphis, N.O. Atlanta Charlotte Orlando, Miami, Dallas, Houston.

Oh, and there are 30 teams.

where amazing happens

Feel better

The best to expect is to make it a no call if its an obvious flop attempt, and if it cost either team a made basket or possesion to decide a game then the players will stop doing it, but as long as it is coached and rewarded enough to use as a tactic. then we are stuck with it. Just like the “make up” call.

or a flop-bomb

sniper

that on a typical night Shelden couldn’t get the ball through the hoop if he was just above it. I like the guy, but maybe he needs to see an optometrist about his depth perception.

He is an improvement, plus he should use those fouls.

Let Jordan deal with Chandler

dont see wut tha big deal is.

still pisses me off that they couldn’t trade Kleiza for Artest 4 yrs ago…Linas was too “valuable”, I think they wanted JR also, which may have killed the deal.
