Golden Nuggets: Roster uncertainty looms over Nuggets training camp...

PrintThree days into the Denver Nuggets' truncated 2011 training camp, there's still no Nene Hilario, no Arron Afflalo and questions about what "Plan B" might be.
Our Denver Nuggets may be at the mercy of the NBA free agency trade winds, as our top two free agent priorities - Nene Hilario and Arron Afflalo - are second priorities for the other teams rumored to want their services.
In regards to Nene, the latest rumors had the New Jersey Nets, Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers seeking #31's services. But with the Pacers signing former New Orleans Hornet David West to a two-year, $20 million deal, you have to figure the Pacers are out of the Nene sweepstakes. The Rockets have cap room to sign Nene, as well, but they've made an offer to the Memphis Grizzlies' Marc Gasol (which will be matched by the Grizzlies), as well. And with the Nets in hot pursuit of Dwight Howard, anything between the Nets and Nene may have to wait until Howard's fate is determined.
Which makes one wonder: at what point does Nene start feeling "disrespected" by all these other franchises who are ostensibly making him a secondary priority, while the Nuggets have offered him a substantial five-year deal (a season longer than any other team can offer) that's just sitting on the table? Moreover, all of Nene's talk about playing for a contender hardly holds water when he's flirting with the Nets, Rockets and Pacers. (Granted, should the Nets get Howard to join Deron Williams and sign Nene, they'd be an instant contender in the Eastern Conference. But the Rockets and Pacers aren't contending for anything anytime soon.) In fact, the longer things take to shake out for Howard - who could still end up being a Los Angeles Laker - the better the chances might be that the Nuggets re-sign Nene.
As far as Afflalo's fate is concerned, we've heard nothing in days. Grantland's Bill Simmons claims it's going to take $50 million over just four years to re-sign Afflalo, a high price to pay for a guy who averages just over 12 points per game. But for whatever reason, Afflalo's name hasn't been mentioned in the latest free agent buzz and, at the end of the day, the Nuggets can match any Afflalo offer (as Afflalo is a restricted free agent). And why are the Pacers - as Simmons suggests - the best bet to overpay for Afflalo? Exactly how does overpaying Afflalo get the Pacers out of their perpetual state of mediocrity? It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
None of this, of course, helps the Nuggets current situation of having to fill out a training camp roster. Over the weekend the Nuggets took a shot at signing Milwaukee Bucks restricted free agent forward Luc Mbah a Moute, only to have the Bucks match the offer. And NBA.com's David Aldridge is reporting that the Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers could be talking about sending Marreese Speights to Denver. That's hardly a "Plan B" to get excited about. I guess when Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri pledged on numerous radio shows last week that the Nuggets weren't "going to do anything crazy" in free agency, he wasn't kidding.
And nor should they.
Now is not the time to grossly overpay for solid starting players nor hamstring the Nuggets' future just to compete in a squirrely 66-game season. But that doesn't change the fact that the Nuggets' roster remains murky with a regular season tipoff just weeks away.
On to the links...

quick update for ya
Rip Hamilton is expected to sign with Chicago, which is probably the team that fit him best.
Nuggets in Limbo
While the Clippers are about to have a very respectable “big three” of their own. Paul, Gordon and Blake will be fun to watch.
Question: Does the NBA really expect to be able to function in 12 days with so many disjointed teams.?
I think this favors the Thunder, who are one of the only teams coming back intact and ready to play.
I cannot believe Paul is a Clipper now. That just makes me laugh

That’s what I was thinking. Nene could tire of the Dwight Howard waiting game and come home.
Nuggets should look at Reggie Williams, who’s now unrestricted.
I know he's not much of a need
But if Chauncey clears amnesty waivers would Denver consider bringing him back?
is it summer yet?
Denver would, but I highly doubt Chauncey would.

Chauncey is pretty pissed right now
He wants to clear waivers and have a choice on where to play…which I presume is Miami.
I do not think the Nuggets are on his list.
And he wants to be a starter and leader
Not a veteran backup.

Fernandez from Dallas
I like the idea of getting Fernandez from Dallas (they are giving him away to clear cap space). He would be a great back-up SG if the Nuggets resign AAA. He can score off the bench. Brewer…not so much.
I Agree..... It also shows how being patient may work to the Nuggets' favor.
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Dallas is trying to move Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer to create more cap space, league sources tell Y!
He only makes $2.11 million a year too.
6’6" SG that can actually shoot and is cheap. Perfect.
Eh, didn't realize his 3P% was that low
BUt, I still think he can shoot. Remember, he was not happy with the Blazers last year. Their rotations sucked. I think if he finds 25 minutes a game, he will start to shoot again. Regalrdess, he can score and the Nuggets are sorely lacking in that dept for a very low risk player.
This
Never been impressed with Rudy. Could never figure out why Portland fans were so high on him.

Key word is the season hasn't started yet
If it started and we didn’t have a SG or PF then I would be mad too. Patience is key especially when there are tons of GMs out there who will throw max money at Sammy D. Wait out the stupidity so you can get AAA and Nene at lower values. As you can see no one is really courting AAA so I think we can name a reasonable price for him.

How on earth are the Nugs going to reach the salary floor if they don’t sign Nene and Afflalo?
We see a wonderful sun-soaked city nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Enos sees nickels and dimes.
The floor is irrelevant
If they are short of the floor, they just give the guys on the roster a bonus. That’s right, al harrington would get a bonus. They still have tons of time, till the trade deadline. They won’t give out bad contracts just to get to the floor.

… from not being offered a contract sooner. Hard to explain how he would hold out hope to sign a less lucrative contract with a worse team in the event someone that team says is better than Nene goes somewhere else.

If Billups knocks out MJ…would that be awesome?

will look attractive to CB now
almost a clipper
The league, which owns the Hornets, wants the Clippers to add Eric Bledsoe to a package that already includes guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota’s unprotected 2012 first-round pick.
The deal would be done if the league hadn’t asked for Bledsoe, according to one source close to the process.
Per a source who has been briefed on NO-LAC negotiations, the Hornets have to choose between the Minnesota pick and Gordon. Can’t have both.
you don't know that...
maybe with adelman, they’ll start winning. Off the top of my head, hornets, bobcats, cavs, raptors, orlando(minus Dwight) should def be worse than the wolves
Sammy D to the nuggs?
He’s still weighing options. Houston, NJ, Denver, Golden State among options. I would be shocked if he returns to Sac.
Take that stink to Houston
Sammy D’s overrated a$% belongs with the crazies in Houston. Let Morey give him a max contract because they are desperate for a big.

Actually GS’s starting SF who had the break-out year last year was Dorell Wright. He was the crazy 3-pt. bomber you’re talking about, I’m sure. Averaged 16ppg with 38% on threes. I wish we could grab Wright.

Was supposed to be a reply to NastyNessy asking if Reggie Williams was the starting SF for Golden State last year.

can never have too many

Lame.
Hopefully its a ploy, I hope that he gives decent time to rookies to enhance their learning curve. 10-15 is all Im asking.
Dumb
It’s just such a stupid, outdated mentality. The Nuggets have nothing to lose this year, are short-handed and will need all the extra possessions they can get. If guys can help, then you play them. It’s not really comparable to the NFL where throwing your rookies into the fire does as much harm as it does good. Sitting your rookie players at the end of the bench stunts their development and doesn’t do anyone any good. Real game time is needed.

this is actually very true
Pacers have a nice lookin roster
Vince Thomas: 4 all small markets whining. Pacers now have Hibbert, West, Mayo, Collinson, Granger, Psycho-T, George. That’s a SERIOUS 7. Do it the rt way
But it's the Pacers
West will hurt himself somehow, but they did improve Mayo>>>> Dunleavy
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
eh, even though they lost 4-1
they gave the bulls a good fight in the playoffs. and they’ve upgraded. i like their team
I don't buy "it's the Pacers"
They were very good in the 90’s and early 00’s. There is some tradition there. It is not like they are the Clippers or anything.
Got a question for Kenneth Faried...
He’ll answer them, click here: http://blogs.denverpost.com/nuggets/2011/12/10/nuggets-rookie-kenneth-faried-taking-questions-for-fan-mail/5692/

Someone ask what he did to Karl?
How did he enter JR’s doghouse. Does Karl need someone to be in that doghouse all the time??
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
So Now What Happens?
RT @MagicInsider: Dwight Howard softens stance. "This is the place I want to be but some things have to change"
I hear Howard and Smith don't get along
He wants Smith to make moves to make the Magic better but he keeps signing guys like JRich.
I don’t know how players think they can make personell decisions though. Sounds like an excuse IMO and he is trying to act nicer than Melo did.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
I think Howard is legitimatly nicer than Melo
Melo is just selfish. Does he really think that his current knicks roster is better than what the nuggets roster would look like this year….no. Is he gonna have a harder time in the east with the bulls, heat, and a soon to be strong Nets…yes.
Oh, I don't know
I don’t really think Melo is selfish, off the court. He seems to do a lot of good things. I think he just wanted to be a Knick. Heck, he gave ’Cuse a ton of money to build the Melo center after only a year at the school. ’Cuse #1 today …woohoo!
yeah I'd be a little more low key about Cuse
Who almost became the Penn State of college basketball and is not out of the woods yet. They may need some more Melo money to help pay settle lawsuits before this is all said and done.

"WooHoo" is pretty low key...at least in my world
My entire family lives in or near Syracuse so I know all about it and get almost daily updates from my brother. It is certainly f’d up (the entire situation, not just Bernie) but not near Penn State (IMHO) and I do not think it will get there. We’ll see.
Alright bear with me (if you don't like profanity don't read below)
Was up til 6 AM for finals and workin on 2 hours of sleep since then so im not the happiest person in Fort Collins right now. Anyways, this shit has got to end. Massai needs to get assertive and get some guys signed. We have a game in 2 weeks and right now have a roster full of a bunch of 21 year old kids and 3 starter plus Fat Al just to keep the cafateria open. This is bull shit. Offer AAA what you think he is worth and ifhe doesn’t sign then wait and sign him when he signs with someone else. Ifhe remains a FA into the season then so be it, his loss. I would also tell Nene you got til midnight to take the Nuggets offer or its off the table and adios. Im tired of reading about Nene’s feelings getting hurt. Fuck that hes a grown ass 7 foot man in line to make a shit ton of money and has already recieved 60 mil from the Nuggets org. Time to man up and say Nene we have paid you a lot of money and are the only team with a standing offer. You got til midnight or we are going a different routue so we can establish a team. If you don;t accept adios. If Nene wants to chance it and lose leverage with the Nuggets pulling their offer then fine let the dumb ass do that. Watch NJ end up with Dwight and some other big contract in a deal not being able to afford Nene and then he has to settle fr a 8 mil per deal somewhere else because he let these “big market teams” play him like a flute and never realized him as a centerpiece on their team in the first place or else he’d already by signed by now. Its just getting fuckin old reading Denver’s names assoiciated with either players i don’t know or players who have been career-long mediocre NBA players that shouldn’t start on any roster. Im also tired about these players and their damn feelings getting hurt. get over it you get paid to play a fucking game, grow up. Im tired of this shit and just want answers to i can not worry about the Nuggets starting fattington at the 4 and Corey Higgons at the 2 on the 26th.

Ujiri is not procrastinating
He is waiting for Nene. Smart GMs don’t make snap moves they wait it out and look at all the possibilities available.
I think the Stone pickup was a good one (better than AC I would assume), signing Bhuah a Moute shows that he is trying to be patient and savy and not jump at signing people just for the sake of it a la Chris Wallace,Isiah Thomas, and Kiki.
I trust he knows what he is doing and I like the media is being kept out of the loop so we don’t hurt players feelings a la Lamar Odom.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
it just needs to get done
he has little time to play with here you can only be so patient. And again im tired of these players feelings they need to grow up.

I think they are being smart.
You don’t make moves just to make moves. (of course I think I’m spoiled enjoying years of playoffs afters years of junk). They are waiting for the smoke to settle before they go after crap. Thank god you don’t have a GM and Owner that get antsy. Otherwise we would be a perennial lottery team.
im not saying make moves to make moves
im saying speed up the process and start taking control over these players. If they want to fiddle fuck around with what other teams are doing fine, let them but i wouldn’t let other teams dictate what I am going to do that shows I have a weakness. If i am a player i want an aggressive GM going after me. And again I don’t wnat Massai to sign players just to sign players. I want him to figure out Nene rather its an ultimatum or not and figure AAA out. If they still don’t know at this point move on to fll out the roster to make it presentable and competative. If there are no PF or SG that really interest the Nuggets then sign the one you value most for 1 year and start over next year. They wouldn;t really have to do this with AAA but with the PF position, back up SG position and all around 6th man position there are about 3 or 4 holes this team needs to fill by 2 weeks. I would prefer sooner rather than later so they can all get some run with eachother before playing in games.

I agree with you
and would like a deal to get done. However we live in a time where everything other teams do dictate to how your team is shaped. I also would like them to get it done sooner seeing as how the season starts in…I don’t know 2 weeks!!! But this is also a time when teams get a “freebie” by amnestying players and are more easily engaged to trading players. Just cause we aren’t hearing it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
I agree with the practice time fact
Its not like Ujiri isn’t trying, he is doing what is best for the Nuggets (that is why he has Speights on line also).
Cmon man, it will happen, and if it doesn’t we are rebuilding. I will not be mad at Ujiri if that happens. A lot of people are saying that is the way we need to go anyway if we want to build a contender.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
fair enough
I guess we will wait and see. IfMassai can get Reggie Williams in here (now that I know who you guys were talking about) that would be a STEAL. That man could win 6th man of the year. Easily.

Paul trade is deadand do you know what is very, very weird
Last week, it was the “Hornets” involved in trades and making offers.
Now, in most articles, it is the “NBA” or “Stern” involved in trades and making (or killing) offers.
A league simply should not be in the business of negotiating against its teams. An incredible conflict of interest. The NBA is in such an odd (i.e. bad) place and is really not helping its brand right now. I expect the the NBA (read, Stern) to be at the top of the next stiff list.
Hornets are getting contracted
Thats the only possible explanation for keeping Chris Paul so they can be “fair.”
Does someone know how the Hornets players will be claimed after contraction? Is there anybody on that team we want? Maybe Carl Landry, but it seems we are getting loaded on bigs and need wing help (I am not a fan of Bellinelli, Reggie Williams is a way better fit).
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
I highly highly doubt that.
I think Stern is trying to make a statement. Sit your butt for the rest of your contract. Then in the offseason pick between a pay day in NO, a team with cap that’s not in a big market, or go where ever you want but not get paid. That’s my opinion he’s saying you can have cake, but you won’t eat it.
8 days...
Until our first preseason game. We need to get whoever we want on this team, to be in camp so everyone can be used to playing with each other. Especially, considering we had such a shortened training camp…
Player Development
That alone should be the goal for this season. Hope Karl’s on board.

Can we sign him on as a coach?
Kidding, but seriously he’ll be a great coach.
Assistant GM to Ujiri
If he retires because MJ is going to claim him off waivers I say offer him a part time GM position.
Also this is under the radar but Ryan Bowen and Patrick Mutombo are going to be new assistant coaches since that guy who had the best seats in the house to do nothing (AD) left.
I really think Ryan Bowen would make a great coach and practice player. I see John Welch getting torched by the players, at least Bowen will make them work harder.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
Part time GM, that made me laugh for this reason.
A Wednesday, Billups comes walking into the practice court and yells for Gallo. Gallo leaves the practice court and slams the door. Everyone is up in arms … reporters storm Billups and ask what just happened. “Traded his ass to the Timberwolves. See y’all in two weeks.”

One of “changes” Dwight Howard wants is signing of Chauncey. If DH12 stays, sources say he’ll urge Billups to spurn Heat and “anchor” Magic
or how vengeful would it be
for Chauncey to keep Howard in Orlando, allowing the nets to go ahead and steal Nene from us :(
What's CB1 going to do? Come off the bench for Nelson? Can't see that working out.

He's one of these born on third base

Well
Orlando could sign CP3 and then fip Jameer Nelson for Monte Ellis, someone Dwight has said he wanted in Orlando. GS would do it so they could moce Steph to the 2 and have a true PG running their team. Dwight is happy his team gets 2 players he wants. Chauncey is happy he gets to start for a contender and live in Orlando, a much nicer place IMO than Miami, and no one cares if Jameer or Monte are happy. Id imagine Monte would be and Jameer probably not so much.

If Melo were smart
I was thinking about this last night, but if Melo were smart he would have stayed in Denver and waited until this moment right now. Right now the Nuggets could ship Ty, Wilson Chandlers rights and multiple pics to NO for Cp3 and then sign and trade Nene plus picks to the Magic for Dwight. Then they could amnesty Fat Al and would be able to retain AAA. If the team still ended with Kenneth Faried even after they kept Melo the Nuggets roster would look like this:
Paul/Billups
AAA/Forbes
Melo/ who knows
Faried/who knows
Howard/ Birdman
Now that team right there is not only better than the trio of Melo, Amare and Chandler but could easily challenge the Lakers or the Heat. Stupid Melo.

Chauncey wanted to go to a contender, not a young team or to be a mentor. But still, it is a very good fit for him and the clippers.

GS looks like they want to make moves…but can’t
Spurs will still be solid..but are past their prime
sounds like CB was a big bid, and clippers maynot be able to sign Jordan
so GS may actually get DeAndre Jordan
Dallas has improved their team from last year
Albeit they are older.
SPEAKING of which, what is the news on JJ Barea? I heard he hasn’t signed to a team yet? Since the Knicks signed Bibby, I’m guessing they don’t want Barea? Any news on him?

They will have to improve a ton and I don't think the Spaniard gets them there
Sacto actually has a pretty good (well, ok), if volatile, line-up.
Thank god it's not Miami
That would have pissed me off.
Now go to the Nets D12 so the Nuggets get Nene, and AAA.
I don’t know why Nene doesn’t realize the West is wide open. Does he have fears of Kendrick Perkins?
Moz can take care of Perkins.

Larry Brown...
he doesn’t like young guys. He wasn’t happy with any of them that year. The thing is, the young guys were right, they were better than the vets that got beat in those games.
Not Brown - 2008
From Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski to managing director Jerry Colangelo to NBA elders, the issue of James’ immaturity and downright disrespectfulness had become a consuming topic on the march to the Olympics. The course of history could’ve changed dramatically, because there was a real risk that James wouldn’t be brought to Beijing based on fears his monumental talents weren’t worth the daily grind of dealing with him.
After the NBA witnessed the behavior of James and his business manager Maverick Carter during the 2007 All-Star Weekend, the commissioner’s office sent word to USA Basketball the league wouldn’t force James on them for the Olympics. Before Team USA gathered for the 2007 Tournament of the Americas in Las Vegas, an unmistakable message had been delivered to James through Nike: Unless you change, we’re serious about leaving you home.

how often do you see an all star pg up for bids?
The minimum amnesty bid on Chauncey Billups deal had to be $1.3M. Says one GM: “I’m told there were multiple bids.” Clippers had highest.
no idea, but it was a big enough bid that the clippers had to amnesty mo
So although it has yet to be announced, it appears almost certain that the Clips amnestied Mo Williams.
that means their roster will be
pg-CB/bledsoe

Sf-Caron Butler/ Aminu
pf-Blake Griffin/ Kaman

Since nothing is actually happening at the moment...
I’ll go ahead and open up this can of worms: what is everyone’s opinion on Carmelo Anthony now? It’s been like 6 months now since he left, do people still hold it against him? Or just remember the good 7 years he gave to this franchise?
I personally am over feeling bitter for him leaving. At the end of the day, when Melo arrived in Denver the nuggets were In a complete mess. He helped turn us around and set us up for years to come. I like to think of the good times rather then the last season he spent with us and the whole “Melodrama” thing. Does he not have the right to play else where? If a regular person was unhappy working in a particular office or company, don’t they have the right to leave? Melo tried his hardest the majority of the time and I for one will wish him good luck with the Knicks. Wishing him bad, or injury is just stupid.

Especially when our team has never been there…LeBron getting that team to the Finals was like Elway getting the Broncos to the Super Bowl in the 80’s.

f-melo. i hated him when he was here
the team didn’t get enough credit for those 7 years. he was a huge d-liability and o-ball stopper.
i loathe any and all "stars" that my city is not good enough for. if only there was a hard cap like the nfl. you never hear people complain about plaing in g.b.

and don't forget,
we have the knicks pick this season in a deep draft. i personally hope for a NON LIFE THREATENNING injury for melo. i am not afraid to say it. he has good doctors, he is a multimillionaire, and he frankly is due.

Nuggets have been their own worst when it comes to keeping stars
They traded away Alex English, let Mutombo walk for nothing, traded McDyess away twice, didn’t follow up a WC Finals appearance and add any pieces that could have helped take the next step. Melo could have done more himself for sure but even if he did, not sure if it would have made the Nuggets any better than they have been.

I wonder if Cutler was a bit upset nobody even cared about him yesterday. Obviously he was not playing but nobody even really cared to boo him when he walked into the tunnel and out. He had his usual grumpy look on him but that’s just the Cutler stare

I'm standing tall with Team Ujiri/Kronke
We’ve got essentially two potentially good players to build around and that’s it.
Given that Josh and Masai just took the helm, this is THE time to figure out how to make the Nuggets into a contender to some day win it all. This is not the same forlorn franchise of yesteryear…. we should point for the stars.
While the draft is still a crap shoot, this would be a good year to be shooting. While the cream seems to rise near the top of the draft, with these young kids, especially this year, many won’t blossom until after they’re into their NBA careers.
If we can keep Nene for a reasonable cost, great, otherwise let’s move on.
So what I’m getting from this is, I’m driving the Tank?

Groupie has its upsides though
although not if you are a guy hehe. I was in Brussels over Fall break visiting a friend, and one of her best friends got with the drummer of Foster the People and went with them to London the next day. But I found the bar they were at(with 3000 beer choices) more impressive than them.

that is very impressive! The only other cool story i have is my girl friends sister in law grew up with Ryan Miller, dated his brother who is on the Red Wings (God help her and him) and he gives her signed shit all the time. My girl’s dad has a Game worn USA jersey signed by him. Apparently next time Buffalo is in town my girl’s sister in law said shed take me and introduce me to him haha.

i'd like to see higgins stick
i could see him being an effective backup earlier than hamilton. just doesn’t have the high ceiling that jordan has.

I came across the 2012 draft projections and Sullinger is number 6
maybe he would have been wise to enter last year and maybe be the 1. But I do applaud his decision.

this is the one and only draft projection to watch
been checking it out for several years now. they have roberson from cu as a lottery pick in 2013

You know, I saw “145 new comments” and thought something cool happened, ya know?! Some news for once, but I’m just getting a rant about “Epic”, “fail”, and Facebook. For Gods sake, someone better give me a cute kitty cat gif right now or I’m going to go beserk.

How the world will end in 2012: George of the Roses builds a Machine that Pommels everyone with La Violencia during Whiteouts.
If they haven't signed him can they actually trade him?

Why do you think all the draftees are traded on draft night
None of them are signed yet
AHHH
The Purdue Power Forward thing is more annoying than “Epic” and Facebook put together!
Atheist for Tebow!
At least it gets some posts
Plus none of you ever say him play
Will stop being annoying

It's reported now that the Nets will make decision(s) by the end of the week
Some speculated that might have been Nene’s doing. Either which way it means this drags on
for a few more days if it follows this script.
OT: I'm laughing at the local late news weather report
He says it’s clear outside, while rain is pelting my window. Uh….what?

Really Earl Clark?
Earl Clark wants to re-sign with the Magic, but the Dwight Howard drama has held things up. Clark also has an offer from the Nuggets.
MOZGOD Member #35
Clark was a lottery pick a couple of 2 years ago
I don’t see any harm in this low risk high reward gamble.
Clark would be a good pickup
Tons of talent, already a good defender, but needs a coach who will push him and hold him responsible.
He's still real young and skipped College to the NBA
I’m hoping he fills out and gets mature… It’s just another sign that Nene is gone.
MOZGOD Member #35
Marc Gasol tweeting he'll remain a Grizzly
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
kwame brown just signed for 7million!
with golden state. if he’s worth that much then I guess Nene really is worth the max
what in the f#$%
is GS doing?

I'd rather have Earl Clark
Asssuming he is making much less than $7 million.
Still, signing all these filler bigs is not a good sign that Nene will be coming back.
Also, who is going to shoot the ball…let’s go AAA, sign up.
While not counting on it, the Nets haven't ruled out the possibly
of getting both Howard and Nene. As for Howard….
Chris Broussard: There r only 4 teams Dwight Howard would sign longterm with – Orl, NJ, LAL, Dal – source says. Rules out a possible DRose-D12 duo in CHI
come on Jersey
only chance to get Nene back in blue.
Formerly KS and CS
by ThrowItDownBigManThrowItDown on Dec 13, 2011 10:18 AM MST up reply actions
Given the changing landscape and settling of time
One has to wonder what teams are still willing to pay? Nets could easily decide while they still like Nene maybe now at only 4yr. @ $50 million. Who knows?
