Nuggets add defensive minded DeMarre Carroll

Email
PrintThe Milwaukee Bucks matched the Nuggets offer on defensive ace Luc Mbah a Moute. Back to the drawing board, the Nuggets added a cheaper option, but a skilled defensive player in DeMarre Carroll out of Missouri (Josh Kroenke's Alma mater). After playing in 71 games as a rookie during the 2009-10 season, Carroll appeared in just 12 games last season with the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.
The Nuggets surely didn't add a major piece in the Carroll signing. He averaged just 2.9 points as a rookie, 1.4 points with the Grizz last season, and appeared in just some garbage time games with the Rockets where he averaged 0.0 points.
I can still recall Missouri's nice college run with Carroll, a record 31 win season in 2009, and the team's relentless defense. It should come as no surprise that Carroll's nickname is "Junkyard Dog" as he's a good defender and tireless rebounder. I don't expect a large role for Carroll with the Nuggets, but he should be a help in practice to drive the team forward and perhaps he can earn some court time.
You can follow Carroll on Twitter here: @DeMarreCarroll1 where he has recently tweeted:
Headin to Denver! Thought it was Utah but I got a better feelin about Denver!!!!!! We out.....
Just landed in Denver.. I havent seen snow since I left MIZZOU..This crazy!!!!
Just got finish gettin shots up wit the coaches. I feel like im back in my MIZZOU days, when i transferred from Vandy to MIZZOU!!!
Other NBA news:
No secret now, but Chauncey Billups was officially claimed by the Los Angeles Clippers. If Billups decides to retire rather than report, he'll lose out on $14.2 million.
Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post has a fun story up on Kenneth Faried and his "Manimal" nickname. The Nuggets now have a Junkyard Dog and a Manimal ... is that good? Faried has been tweeting often about "Manimal" and promoting his T-shirts, all summer.

With the Clips still shooting for the Paul trade (and after the addition of CB, the ability to ship Bledsoe in the deal), CB has got to be pissed. Bench, mentor role?
Also, with the Howard to NJ trade talk cooling, it’s looking bad for keeping Nene.
I wonder if anything of consequence for the Nugs will happen at all today.
If CP is at PG
CB can slide to SG. if he’s back-up for CP, I think yes, he’ll be pissed.
Will today be the day?
For something of consequence?
come on Masai, jump on OJ

as far as i’m concerned they will dump him if they find someone willing to take him off their hands
yeah we gotta get OJ
I’m sure we have someone comparable to Josh McRoberts on our roster to play backup PF/C for the Griz. Birdman I guess might be the closest? I’d hate to see him go, but for OJ i would do it.

George will be fielding another 2PG lineup in pressure situations
not sure why we’re suprised at this point http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_19537160
I don’t think it will be much different than what we did last year with Raymond Felton and Ty. They both deserve to be on the court, they’re both going to be on the court. Ty is the younger player so he needs to be involved maybe with more experiences and more situations — when we have leads, circumstances like that. But I think in the big-time games, Andre is going to be out there as much as Ty.
He forget to add..."especially, since at this point, there are no other options".
Apparently, Ray reported fat and out of shape…does he get the Shawn Kemp award for post-lockout eat myself out of a career award?
he was referring to andre miller
saying the lineup with will be similar to what they did last year with Ty and Felton together
gee didn't see this coming
he’s going to ruin Ty’s career. God GK sucks.

I don't think
Karl is scared to start him, I think Andre is going to be in there more at the end of games as kind of a closer. Which I think is going to screw with Ty’s confidence.
not to mention andre can't shoot
great PG but can’ t play off the ball. so that means Lawson’s gonna be playing off the ball. so that means this really ain’t his team.
exactly
cut to Miller pounding the rock for 15 seconds while Ty stands forlornly at the 3-point line down the stretch of close games. This is what I was scared of since the day we got miller.

according to the Denver Post
http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_19537160
The Nuggets have made forward DeMarre Carroll​ a nonguaranteed training camp invitee. The former Missouri standout is expected to practice today.
Next year's draft is hurting the value of Afflalo and it may even affect
the ultimate signing of Nene. In this whacky compressed season it’s easy to look ahead to one of the better draft years. This next draft has an abundance of PF’s, 4/5 guys and many very good wings.
Everybody respects Afflalo’s game but how much is it because of his team/system. Obviously he isn’t lighting a lot of fires out there. Ujiri is playing this just about right.
I agree
i 110% want AAA back but if he left i would like the Nuggets to bring back Forbes and sign Michael Redd. Maybe even try to trade for OJ

The Nets don't need Nene near as much as they did just two weeks ago.
The Nets needed some street cred. and they wanted to assure D-Will they would surround him with better talent. But in the last two weeks the Nets have gotten all the cred they will need. They’re a short season away from being out of NJ and into Brooklyn. D-Will isn’t going anywhere else, too much money lost.
Maybe the Nuggets standing offer reported to be 5yrs. @ $60 million will be good enough.

that's why the OJ mayo trade fell through
there’s no way he’s not available if they were willing to trade him for brandon rush….
Why do you say this?
All the reports I saw were for McRoberts, not Rush. The Pacers were pushing to include Rush to clear out his salary. I haven’t seen anything indicating Memphis had any interest in him.
But if Memphis didn’t even want Rush, then saying they were willing to trade OJ for Rush is simply inaccurate.

Because he is not doing much here.
Nice! Hope you had a good time
Where to start?
1. Nuggets seem inclined to matching Gary Forbes offer sheet. Good move or bad move?
2. What’s holding up the Afflalo, Nene deals?
3. Can the Nuggets quire OJ mayo, any interest? Pacer might say he’s off the table, but they were trying to trade him for Brandon Rush, before the trade broke down because Pacers sign Jamal Crawford. My thoughts are the nuggets TPE and a 2nd round pick or two could do it.
4. Teams are allowed by the new CBA to help pay up to 500k to buy out players in China. Since only Denver and Pheonix have players up there, will/should we attempt to free Chandler?
5. What do you think about camp invitees Julyan Stone( actually on contract, Corry Higgins, Demarr Carrol?
6. Since we’ve now moved on from the thuggets era, what should the new era be called? The dreaded Nuggets (all the nuggs with dreads?), Young Nuggs. Masai’s Nuggs? etc.
Thanks for the breakdown tylawsome!
I don’t think much of the carrol, higgins and stone invites because they most likely won’t make much impact…but you never know

what about this?
If the Nets resign Kris Humphries in an attempt to make a package for Howard, what do you guys think of this scenario:
Nets get: Howard and Turkoglu’s awful contract
Magic get: Nene, Lopez, Morrow, + rid of Hedo’s contract
Nuggets get: Humphries and Redick
Nene would sign in Denver before the trade too. Obviously there would be some other pieces that need to go into place (Denver may have to give up more than Nene), but it doesn’t seem too bad to start off with, right? Redick has shown some pretty good signs recently and I’m not seeing much in terms of SGs on our Roster.

All he wants to do is play
Can’t say I blame him. He would be a star in spain if he stayed there.
they'd rather dump him then pay $ to buy him out
and he won’t be expensive to take off their hands prbly a 2nd round pick
We should do it just because
it means we traded an expiring Felton and 2nd rounder for Andre, Hamilton and Fernandez. Not a bad haul.

Background on why Rondo is available in trade
After game two in the playoffs against the heat last year.
According to multiple sources, Rondo’s errors were being pointed out when he arose and began discussing the mistakes of his teammates. Loudly. Using harsh language.
Coach Doc Rivers got up and fired back, and Rondo threw a bottle that shattered the video screen. He bolted from the practice facility and was prevented from returning when he tried later.

that makes little sense
given rebounding hustle and defense are what translate the easiest into the NBA. but who knows what’s gonna happen with Karl controlling minutes
of course but i have a feeling
with the transition from first to second team units, we will be looking for scoring. Faried provides little of that. but unlimited hustle. It becomes a pick your poison sort of thing, because we know Karl will not play them at the same time.
i dunno
i think with Karl playing his obvious 2PG lineup. if AAA returns plus new vets like rudy and corey brewer, i think it’s jordan hamilton that loses the most minutes. I just envision him sulking at the end of the bench. at least faried will probably get some run when our bigs inevitably go down with injuries.
Pretty cheap
I think Fernandez id $6 million over three years..or something like that.
I can’t imagine that Bewer’s amountsto much at all (in NBA terms).
favorable
Rudy with one year left: 2,180,443 and a QO of 3,187,807 nex tyear
Brewer with two years left: 3,059,00 this year and 3,243,00 next year
so if Rudy does well then another RFA for us...
adds depth, gives flexibility, and is in his contract year. Pretty good trade.

it is a nice haul
but like we’ve seen before. having this much depth is nice, but it’s not easy keeping everyone happy with minutes. karl doesn’t seem too concerned with feelings and has a history of jerking guys around minutes wise. Fernandez is already a known malcontent and Jordan Hamilton has all the makings of one. This could get ugly.
Hopefully we can eventually turn all these ‘dime’ and ‘nickel’ players into some 50cent pieces and $1 bills.
I'm hoping
this is part of the rebuilding process, and the plan is to just spread minutes among all the young players over the 66-games, and get everyone valuable game time experience. Can’t really see GK doing that though.
"J.R. SMITH! WITH NO REGARD FOR COMMON SENSE!" - Future Kevin Harlan Quote
"They're two-deep at the crazy position!" - Kenny "The Jet" Smith.
It might be difficult to keep everyone happy
But on the other hand it is a message to Afflalo and Nene that we are trying to bring in players that can help the team. I think this means Gary Forbes is not matched as well. Afflalo, Fernandez, Gallinari, Hamilton, Brewer at the 2/3 spots isn’t that bad. Hamilton will probably get the fewest minutes anyways.
I worry more about getting them all minutes if Karl plays Andre and Ty a lot of minutes together.
Biggest hole is still power forward. Karl doesn’t seem to think Faried will contribute a ton right away, and Harrington/Koufus might be our best backups after that.
he's going to play Andre and Ty together
he’s said that directly in the article above. so those guys are gonna struggle to play assuming Gallo plays primarily at 3.
not sure what’s gonna happen with PF. haven’t heard anything about carl landry. he can provide some nice scoring ability. pretty poor rebounder/defender though. Nene would be perfect but we’re still waiting for the divas to get traded.

I agree he will...
But don’t think he will start both of them or anything. He’ll have them play together for probably ten minutes per game and then get another 15 mins or so, as rest for Ty. At least that’s what I’m hoping.
Playing two point guards long minutes together is fools gold. It will work against the bad to mediocre teams, but will be worthless against top tier teams.
he wont start to them together
but i bet they’re both in at the end of games. pretty much exactly what we saw with last year’s lineups
Like this news a lot more than the Fernandez/Brewer move.
I’m for giving any young player a chance, and any 2nd-year player who actually made a name for himself playing defense as a rookie has a chance to make it in the NBA.
Could definitely make some noise in a similar way that AAA did in his first year here (when everyone couldn’t believe we got him for a 2nd round pick) and Forbes did last year.
YOUTH MOVEMENT + DEFENSE! (I think that might be my new sig).

Salary dump the obvious answer, but it’s also worth noting that Dallas in one of three teams that Howard said he’d resign/extend with.
They've already got a really deep roster.
Kidd/Beaubois/Rautins
Vince/Terry/Jones
Marion
Nowitzki/Odom/Cardinal/Wright
Haywood/Mahinmi
(Obviously Odom can play SF as well)
And this is before they gave us Rudy and Brewer. And recall they have a high payroll and the maximum players you can have on a roster is 15.

He would either play 20 min in a game and produce decent results then be planted on the bench for the next 3, get a chance to play, royally suck, get benched again, get another shot have a decent game so on and so on. Just a waist of money and roster space but seeing im the one who keeps bitching about not having a roster when we are 2 games away from the regular season so idk. Just not happy with this trade.

until i saw that he’s only 32. Remember when Grant Hill was done? And then what happened? I’d chance that at a vet min over waisting two roster sopts on Dalla’s tacos players

No to Redd.
He has little to no potential left and we’re not in a position to contend.
But I sort of agree, if not to such an extreme extent. Both players would be decent guys off the bench for playoff teams, but still not that good.

I usually agree with you
..but can’t on this one. Redd is done.
I thought that's what I said?
Unless you were replying to Garrett.

Go to NY or Sac stay out of Portland!
Source says Jamal Crawford is now considering offers from New York, Portland and Sacramento.
Yeah, I hope so too.
For all his flaws, I think Crawford would make the Blazers a better team. Would be interesting to see him in NY though, and I want him nowhere near the Kings.

Because I actually think they have a future.
And I don’t want to see that screwed up lol.
You forgot to mention Salmons as well btw.

It's not that I think Jimmer will be awful
(although I don’t think he’ll be very good), it’s just that they didn’t NEED him. Tyreke, Thornton, and Udrih were decent enough, and there were plenty of guards going to be available in FA.
I would’ve much rather seen them keep the pick and take a chance on Biyombo (or even Brandon Knight and Kemba are better picks than Jimmer imo) or if they really wanted Salmons in a trade (or to get rid of Beno or something) someone like Kawhi Leonard would’ve been a great pick for them.

The Knicks will need to play with 3 balls to make everyone happy if that goes down

Lol "Cubes"
Cubes has amnesty in his back pocket that he can use next summer to clear out another $8M (Marion/H’wood). Could easily have $20-25M in room
with this trade
the Mavs are just barely over the cap. And they have Vince carter’s $18.3 million coming off the books after this year.

Whoa! Didn't know he could do that.
I also didn’t know he is 6’9". Pretty tall, skinny, dude.
Someone had a editted GIF
that put David Stern’s head on Brewer and CP3s on Fisher’s.

Really?
When I think of players who’s shown very little growth since coming to the league, Brewer’s pretty high up there.

Darko Milicic is also playing in Minnesota.

its cause they had a jam at forward
Love, Weasley, jonson, webster, hayward, randolph, and they had a lotto pick coming up with a ton of forwards available
Still, he's at the bottom of that list.

Btw if anyone plays 2k12
Some of the rookies are in, includes our rookies. I can’t seem to stop dominating with Faried LOL. He draws fouls like it’s nobody’s business.

Cuban has lavish lockerooms so he probably has good food choices for the players too

The Nuggets are Seriously Dialed into the FUTURE not the present
Expecting Afflalo back, Nene probably NOT
This just some window dressing, a tryout for a couple of players. You just never know in this Bis. No harm, no foul.
The FUTURE is next summer’s draft picks, FA’s and trades.
Im already in first class
if not the conductor (ill give that honor to you sun valley or maybe nate)

is that brewer going against carroll in the pic above?
by InboundingLobPass on Dec 13, 2011 6:03 PM MST via mobile reply actions
im pretty sure it is
So what a coincidence that the “other guy” in the photo ends up on the team too. That NEVER HAPPENS. This means something people….. the stars have alligned…. well probably doesn’t mean anything actually but I thought it was interesting
