With or without Afflalo, Nuggets will be just fine...

PrintWith many Western Conference teams in a state of flux and confusion, the Nuggets will field a 2011-12 roster featuring many holdovers from last season plus new faces in place of some big egos. Get ready for a ninth-consecutive playoff appearance.
Arron Afflalo must be dying to get himself into Denver Nuggets training camp right now.
Thanks to the re-signing of Nene Hilario, the Nuggets now possess one of the Western Conference's most formidable front lines with the 6'11" Nene slotted to start at power forward alongside the 6'10" Danilo Gallinari at small forward and the 7'1" Timofey Mozgov at center. Backed up by Al Harrington, Chris Andersen, Kosta Koufos, Kenneth Faried and (possibly) DeMarre Carroll, this is probably the biggest Nuggets team in franchise history.
And with Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer joining Ty Lawson and Andre Miller in the Nuggets' back court, the Nuggets added much needed speed and length at shooting guard to compensate for Lawson's diminutive size and Miller's slowness at point guard. A third point guard might still be needed, and it's likely rookie Jordan Hamilton will spend some time in the D-League with the Nuggets' roster filling out quickly.
Longtime Denver Stiffs readers know I've always been a fan of Fernandez. He's an athletic gunslinger who's not afraid to take a big shot. Fernandez's exceptional performance against the "Redeem Team" in the 2008 Summer Olympics is how I'll always think of Rudy. 22 points on 7-13 shooting, 5-9 from three-point range and no fear going up against Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Unfortunately, his NBA career numbers have been nothing to cheer about, notably his field goal and three-point shooting that plummeted to 37% and 32.1% last season, respectively. Questions have also surfaced in the past about Fernandez's attitude, but he's a competitor who wants to win and be on the floor in clutch situations. Kind of like J.R. Smith, oddly, who the Spaniard is essentially replacing.
Conversely, I've never liked Brewer's game. A lanky 6'8" guard/small forward, Brewer doesn't seem to have one discernible skill to cling to and for the 7th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft (two slots ahead of his Florida teammate Joakim Noah), he has essentially been a bust. Brewer's game reminds me of DerMarr Johnson's, another lanky guard/small forward drafted too high (6th overall in 2000) and just never panned out. But for a backup-to-a-backup small forward/shooting guard, having Brewer on the roster doesn't hurt.
In regards to re-signing Nene for what could-be upwards of $67 million over five years, I'm thrilled from a basketball perspective and skeptical from a business perspective. Should Nene stay healthy and thrive at power forward, this will look like a good deal until the fourth and fifth seasons when my fellow Stiffs are griping about how we're grossly overpaying a 34 and then 35 year-old player. But committing $13ish million per season to Nene, plus another $8 or $9 million per season to Afflalo (which could very likely happen) will hamstring the Nuggets' ability to bring in big free agents next summer.
But with this recent spate of moves it's a fair question to ask whether or not the Nuggets really need Afflalo back. I say "yes" (for the right price, as always) as you can't trust Fernandez and his shaky shooting to start at two-guard, Brewer has no business starting, Hamilton isn't ready and I cringe to think of a Miller/Lawson two point guard back court. For all those reasons, we need Afflalo back but his return isn't essential for a postseason return.
Surveying the rest of the Western Conference, I foresee the Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks - as presently constructed - being the class of the conference with the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs just behind them. The Lakers in particular appear to be on the verge of total disarray with a new coach having to deal with Kobe's disgust over the Lamar Odom loss, Pau Gasol's (you know they're coming) emotional issues, Ron Artest's nuttiness, Derek Fisher's age and never-ending Dwight Howard talk. I almost feel bad for Mike Brown already, but I'm sure he knows what he signed up for.
Those remaining three Western Conference playoff spots (in no particular order) will go to our Nuggets, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Clippers, who just acquired Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets. For the Nuggets to vault themselves into the Western Conference's upper tier, Gallo, Moz and Lawson must become substantially better players this season.
(As an aside, what a joke this Paul deal is for the NBA. I'm still recovering from the shock of the NBA screwing the Lakers on trying to obtain Paul last week and now Paul gets to join Mo Williams, Chauncey Billups, Eric Bledsoe and Randy Foye on a point guard-jammed Clippers team. Although a starting five of Paul, Billups, Blake Griffin, Caron Butler and DeAndre Jordan should find itself into the postseason.)
The Nuggets did themselves good by re-signing Nene and pulling a heist job by snaring Fernandez and Brewer for a second round draft pick (and trade exemption). Let's see if they can swing an Afflalo re-signing next to round out a very exciting 2011-12 roster.

Still smiling about Nene...
But I think getting Arron is crucial. Nugs need a good, consistent 2 guard, and he could be that guy for a while. He’s basically nothing but upside at this point in his career.
Won't Nene
be 32 and 33 during the last two years of his contract?
Indeed.
Andrew is an idiot sometimes. Case in point:
Those remaining three Western Conference playoff spots (in no particular order) will go to our Nuggets, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Clippers,
Yeah ok dude. Those Blazers are going to be awesome!…….WHY? Whatevs, ’drew.

Yeah R.I.P. City is correct
Blazers fans have wanted to rebuild since acquiring Miller and they finally get their chance. That team is in shambles. Roy and Oden are broken and the unfortunate news about Aldridge’s health makes an already thin roster look wafer thin. Depending on what happens with Aldridge I wouldn’t be surprised to see Portland on the bottom of the division. The front office is obviously willing to throw in the towel if the Gerald Wallace for picks rumor was true. It’s a two team race in the Northwest Division, bring on OKC!

Blazers lineup:
PG: Ray Felton / Patty Mills
SG: Wes Matthews / Jamal Crawford
SF: Gerald Wallace / Nic Batum / Luke Babbitt
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge / (?)
C: Marcus Camby / Greg Oden, eventually
A little thin, but that team should be able to get into the playoff hunt out West.

What's the word on Aldridge?

My fellow Aussie
Patty Mills signed with the same team K-Mart did in china. So no Patty for Portland this season.

Apparently we are high on Nolan Smith.
I don´t know what to think about that. Last year the Blazers were high on Armon Johson and Nate had to bench him almost the whole season. I would not be surprised if the Blazers play Jamal Crawford at point.
Afflalo's market getting soft?
I think all the silence on Afflalo is because Nuggets don’t want to bid against themselves and competition is dropping out. The only Afflalo rumors in the past two weeks have linked Bulls, Lakers, and Nets. Hyperactive NY media has the Nets going after every free agent. Bulls got Hamilton. Maybe Arron wants to go to the Lakers to start (do they have a starting shooting guard?). Maybe the Pacers want to reprise their overpayment of Dahnte.
LOL

I think you guys are missing the fact that.....
AAA will be perfect on the Clippers. They need a 2, he is an LA kid, they have cap space, and him and Chauncey are boys from their Detroit days. The reason Afflalo has not signed yet is because CB is pushing LAC GM Neil Olshey, and Sterling to take a long hard look at him, as I am also sure he is in Arron’s ear telling him to come home and be a part of something special. (CP3, AAA, Caron, BG and DeAndre is a squad) The guy would be solidify that team. I hope the Nugs don’t lose him. He brings so many things to the table. It would be a huge loss!! I too am a fan of Rudy, but he can fill JR’s role of giving them that offensive spark off the bench. I don’t think you want him to be your starting two just yet because of his liability on the defensive end.

A Team in Transition
Without a Star, without great Interior Defense, questionable rebounding….. I’m not sure how this team can get to the top.
I wonder if the West won't be even more balanced this year.
Only disagreement I’ll choose with Andrew’s stacking is that I suspect the Lakers are going to be just fine so I’ll flip them with Memphis, otherwise your thinking seems about right.
Nene is One of the Best Post Defenders in the League
And, Denver’s size on the front line will spell trouble for other teams. Agree that Chandler and Kmart were Great defenders, and will be missed, but this is a young talented team that Denver should be excited about.
by ACEIII on Dec 14, 2011 7:22 PM MST via mobile up reply actions 1 recs
We should be excited about this team, but
it’s ridiculous to say that Nene is “one of the best post defenders in the league.” He blocks one shot and has never averaged 8 rebounds per game. There were so many instances during that OKC series when I was screaming at Nene through the T.V. to at least TRY to play defense, put your hands up, do SOMETHING!

I wont lie I thought we would have signed AAA by now.
After Nene was wrapped up last night I thought for sure we would have AAA done within 24 hours.

Down by 1 or 2 with 3 seconds left without AAA who takes that shot?
AAA proved he could step up and make that shot. I don’t feel 100% about anyone currently on the roster to step up in that moment.

I think that shot goes to Gallo from here on out. They’re trying to make him the star.
Definitely Gallo.
How will we ever know his potential if he isn’t given the chance to shine in those big moments? AAA is a good spot up shooter, for sure, but he needs to get better at coming off screens or creating his own shot before being considered a “go-to” option.

I don't see the Clippers having the money to ink AAA.
Paul comes in at $16M and DeAndre at $10M. They need a backup big man IN THE WORST WAY. They have enough guards on the roster to scrap something together, but big man is their top priority.

Brewer
Corey Brewer didn’t pan out as a seventh pick, yet he does have some upside as a defender and intelligent role player. I liked NugNugz’s assessment of Brewer in yesterday’s thread on the Dallas trade:
Absolutely fantastic wing defender. He will crush the spirit of the man he is guarding. Stays in front of the ball, long arms, athletic as all get out. Underrated passer – he does not play PG (someone above said he does). But he does have nice vision when he penetrates and dish[es].
Maybe Brewer is the guy who takes long turns frustrating the Durants of the league. He can have a go at defending both shooting guards and small forwards. I’m glad we got him, especially since he came cheap.
No. More. Stickyball.
and i haven't ever heard anything about any character issues
or dis-satisfaction over role playing.

We need AAA badly
If we start AAA alongside Ty, with Moz, Nene & Gallo leading front court, we are big, fast, talented.
With no AAA, and with Karls lunacy in starting Miller, we become much shorter, much slower, much older. And, if we start Miller, we lose an off the bench point guard.
Neither AAA, Gallo, Nene, Ty or Moz are big stars but they have to be teamed together for max impact. If we knock one out and substitute with a weak link, we take a big step back. You know, a chain is only as strong….
Nuggets can compete with the Thunder if, 1) post trade was not a mirage, 2) our good players impact each other synergistically.
Finally, I cant resist. If the Lakers were screwed by the non-deal, well if you’ve been doing all the screwin’ for 40 years, it’s OK if you’re asked to turn around and lean over for a change, ya know what I’m saying?

Wow, that's freakin' awesome.
Based off of that comment, I don’t think JR will be coming back after his stint in China.
yeah, heard it on internet radio in nyc
great line
most important thing I take from it is that with Rudy, we still have a little off the bench pop
Next thing is that, without JR and, frankly, Ray Felton, we dont have to expend energy on discontent and EGO
Look, I know that NBAers have to have some ego and some confidence but JR was too polarizing, though talented and Ray played the game with one eye on his stats and his perceived value.
If Rudy gets miffed, we could just ignore him. If Miller gets obnoxious, well he’s kind of old anyway.
Our core seems content though next summer will bring questions. Are you ready for the Summer of Gallo?":)

I don't know how Memphis, SA, Dallas, or even the Lakers are ahead of Denver
Hey people we beat Memphis without Melo and all those trade assets/ they were hot and it was the same Memphis team that scared OKC.
We already own Dallas. SA is on the downfall, they may be ok but I think they are too old for this 66 game season.
Lakers are seriously worse than the Nuggets. The new Nuggets already beat them when they had Odom and Jackson. This team has Mike Brown who does not know how to coach an offense and Gasol is done in LA.
The only guys I see ahead of us are the Thunder and they are not that far away.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
Kind of optimism
But more from what I see, if I were an optimist we would be ahead of OKC lol
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
Agreed
OKC is better than us, but not to the point where we will be completely outclassed (I hope). Spurs? psh. Memphis did well and I think they will be a force. LAC should be a pretty good team and I can see them landing the 4th seed. The Lakers? Who knows, but if they don’t get Dwight, I think they will crumble. To me, Dallas is the only wild card in the bunch. I have no idea what to expect from them.
As for us, I am putting us at either the 3, 4, or 5th seed for the playoffs.

After the trade
we danced thru the West, and the East, North and South, for that matter.
We lost to OKC because half of our team was injured. If we have 2 – 3 guys injured for 1st round, I expect a loss again.
As for the West, it is wide open. There is one very stable team and that is OKC. The other teams, including Denver, have lots of question marks. But, judging from how we played after the trade, in the regular season, didnt we look a bit more set than everyone else including the Mavs.
by sgiustra on Dec 14, 2011 10:21 PM MST up reply actions 1 recs
WE also lost to OKC
because stubborn George played small— Felton and Lawson, too often during the series. Anxious to see Moz and Nene starting together and HOPE that George gives Faried some decent minutes, not just garbage time because he’s a rook.
not to spoil the fun
but I think Memphis was on a b2b.
Definitely not a b2b
Because it was right after the all-star game.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
A little premature
You are counting a single game against Memphis to say The Nugs have a better team.
And that was the first game without either teams starting SF.
The nuggets seem pumped at home, while the Grizzlies seem to have no fire in them.
I though Memphis was going to drop out of the playoffs, because the lost gay. It seem they recovered and started to play great ball.
The Nuggets are not the same Nuggets as last year, they are missing 3 of those players, and also you seem to give too much imoprtance to a single win the previous year during the regular season.
K-mart was the best big man defender the NUgs had, and he is gone. Playing against any of those teams you mention he contained tehir biggest threat, now he won’t be available.
Respectfully disagree
We are gaining a, hopefully evolving Center, moving Nene to his more natural position, have Gallo from the jump, should get AAA (our heart and soul) healthy, I like the 2 role players we picked up just to fill in
I wish we had Chandler back but given what I outlined above, I believe that our gains more than compensate for our losses.
my 1st post and Stiffs today.
I miss anything nuggs related? I already know about Paul and RIp. Also anyway to watch Nene’s media conference?
Also I would assume Hamilton is better than Brewer already
He may go to D-league cuz Karl hates rookies, but I hope he gets burn because I think he can make a huge impact.
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'

Obviously
We’re a better team with AAA than without him. That’s without question.
However, I think I agree with this article (well, the title at least) in that AAA isn’t the player that makes or breaks us. Without AAA though, or options come down to this:
1. Sign or trade for an SG we can start.
2. Throw J-Ham straight into it and start him.
3. 2-PG lineup with Andre.
4. Start Rudy.
Another possible option might be go big with Brewer but I’d say that’s the least possible option. It sure shakes things up not having AAA come back, but it’s better that it gets done now if it’s going to happen.

I could see us have an unexpected (to us) disappointing season
I’d be delighted if we missed the playoffs as I feel this is a good year to miss if you’re going to miss.
I haven't mentioned it yet
But I’m a big fan of the Rudy Fernandez signing.
I really like that guy. Still think we need AAA. I’ve been saying, even with Afflalo back, Denver would need some help on the wing.
Let’s get this done.
No disrespect to Andrew, as I agree the Nuggets are fine without Afflalo, but I don’t want Denver to be fine, I want them to contend for a championship. And having a lockdown defender with a monster work ethic and someone who can score 20 ppg in the flow of the game and hit clutch shots is pretty effing important in taking that step.

I know the cliche "it isn't about the money"
But man, after watching Nene’s press conference, I really believe him. Add in the fact that he probably could have gotten more money out of the Nuggets and its pretty amazing. Guy seems genuinely happy to be here and was excited to stay with the Nuggets. When you think of everything he’s gone through – numerous injuries, cancer, etc. It’s incredible.

Hmm I'm going to start hating Howard too, poor Magic fans, it's like Melo all over.
The Lakers continue to be an option for Howard, however Pingalore’s sources confirm that the Lakers’ center, Andrew Bynum, may not be as attractive, because the Magic have learned Bynum’s knees are not healthy
http://www.netsdaily.com/2011/12/14/2637264/dwight-howard-thought-it-was-a-done-deal#857569 (they are so funny, not intentionally)
We all know Bynum has bad knees but maybe the Magic learned of newer issues, surely they know of his past injury history.

It's candid.
Even if J.R. is “crazy” (I actually think he could be bipolar) it’s still a nasty habit that makes GK look petty. Maybe he’d be better served to just not say always what he thinks. I think it doesn’t really engender good will towards other players that might think of coming here.

Happen to be cruising on Nets Daily Sunday while listening to Dave & Bob

I disagree
I think people are driven nuts by the media, as Fly is, but especially the national media. I know that’s what drove me nuts when he was in Florida. I think the religious aspect is overblown, many NFL players are just as religious but Tebow gets more press for it(and does a lot of good with it). I’m atheist and have never felt like he was pressing his religious views on me, even his anti-abortion ad in the SB was quite tame. I am still annoyed by the national media myself, or at least when it was week 7 and a Broncos-Dolphins crapfest was the second highlight of SportsCenter, behind the WS.

Well Kevin, a few of Tebow's passes
have been Hail Marys, at least in spirit, no?
i don't disagree, but where the fringe comes in
is that his followers DO puch their agenda despite the fact many of them couldn’t care less about football, just champion his christianity, and on the other side, equally disinterested athiests start literally hating the man and his followers because of the loud and large fringe element.
i’m personally agnostic and a huge tebow fan, but because i see so much potential in him as a football player. i just wish that was where the majority of the conversation on him was.

Good points Andrew
Unless Brewer really improves his game significantly, he may just warm the bench in George’s tight rotation. Sign AAA. We love him, and the infectious mental strength he brings every night.

I know next to nothing about Brewer
Just excited about Fernandez. Seems like a steal to me for just a second round pick.
"No one likes a beggar slightly overdressed"
The reason Brewer is still in the league
is he is one of the top 10 perimeter defenders in the NBA, that is his bread and butter, I saw a few games from him last year.. he makes it tough for penetrating guards.
Atheist for Tebow!
Good point. George loves elite defenders and that is Brewer’s gig. He’ll get on the floor for that reason alone.

I see general agreement - sign AAA
Yes, Andrew, we’ll be good w/o him, too. But he contributes efficiently at both ends and in the locker room so I think we need him – even at 8 million.
One bone to pick: some stiffs seem to think Hamilton is a SG, but he really looks like a SF to me. He’s not quick enough to cover AAA (for instance) much less Monte Ellis or Kobe. Should be able to put up some points after a stint in the D League, though.
Other bone to pick: why has the NBA League Pass greatly increased in price this year for a shorter season? Gimme a break !
Go Nuggets!
I had the same issue with the NFL Sunday Ticket.
I get it every year, cause I live in Las Vegas. But this year they pushed it out of my price range. Then they turned around and gave it to new customers for free.

That is hilarious
I read that like six times trying to figure out this new slang.
"No one likes a beggar slightly overdressed"
Rudy is a much better player than his trade value for a reason.
He lost a lot of money from offers he had in Europe when he went to Portland with a rookie contract. They promised him he would have an important role in that team. Paul Allen himself traveled to Spain to talk with Rudy, because Rudy was worried about McMillan. Because Mcillan basketball ideas and because he was not an easy coach to deal with. Rudy knew abou McMillan because fellow Spaniard Sergio Rodriguez played there, and was aware of coache´s rigid ideas and reputation as a tough guy, one who was nicknamed “The Sargent”.
In Portland he found out that Nate McMillan style of play was, as Rudy expected, not suited at all for his skills. McMillan just wanted Rudy to “do a Portland” and not much more. That´s how the Blazers, fans and even players, call to just stay in the three point line and shoot the three. Rudy had disagreements with Nate, but he was a good soldier and that first year he set NBA rookie records for number of three-point field goals made (159), hitting a three-point field goal in 33 consecutive games, and making a three-pointer in his first 20 career NBA games, despite the fact that he could not play 11 games because of injuries.
The second problem Rudy had was playing behind Brandon Roy, who also dictaded a slow paced iso game with the ball in Roy´s hands most of the time.
In march of 2009, during that first season, Fernández was taken off the court in a stretcher after being fouled hard by Laker Trevor Ariza. In December 2009, Fernandez underwent microdiscectomy surgery for a herniated disc because he was having a lot of pain in his back. At that time he thought about all the money he was losing, the risk of having a career ending injury and why he was not having the opportunity to succeed in Portland, after a summer having had Durantesque stats in the World Championship. Rudy would have been named World MVP if Spain had won that championship. Rudy started to lose his patience and talked with McMillan. In short McMillan told Rudy: “Your problem is that you´re a star in Europe and just an average player in the NBA”. Rudy got mad at Nate, said, according to some sources in Spain, “this guy is not going to f*** me”, and inmediately asked for a trade. But Paul Allen vetoed a trade and Rudy made everything possible to kill his trade value and get out of Portland.
I think he will be the most improved player in 2011-2012 and one of the best SGs in the NBA this season. And I´m not the only one. Karl´s still of play has nothing to do with McMillan´s, his communication skills are much much better and Rudy is in a contract year. Nugget fans, get ready for Rudy Fernández .

Not my only mistake but you know that "Karl´s still of play" was meant to say "Karl´s style of play".
I´m trying to learn some English, but still always making mistakes :(
your English is fine
and thanks for the info about this new Nugget.
George Karl likes to run, and I think that will fit Rudy’s personality as a player. If the Nuggets re-sign Afflalo, Rudy may end up as 6th man, soI hope he is OK with that.
I appreciate some more back story on Rudy
Always liked his style before. Not that I know he was held back somewhat, I can’t wait to have him as a contributor to the Nuggets. I imagine him an Miller coming off the benching being an absolutely killer backcourt.
"No one likes a beggar slightly overdressed"
Remember though that Nate is one of Karl's
Best coaching buds. Karl coached Nate for years in Seattle and was a key person in his development as a coach.
If Rudy Fernandez is MIP I would be so happy
I have a really hard time seeing this happen if Afflalo is re-signed. I just dont think he will get enough play time as he can be streaky.
Thanks amimart
That was a very informative post on Rudy
I will say that the little I’ve seen of Rudy, I have not been really impressed because there seem to be long patches of inconsistency.
But I’ve also noted really good skills and good physical ability if you discount strength.
I’m happy with this pick up and with Brewer because they deepen our bench. Also, I get a sense that they both have potential that may not be realized but that we should take a gamble on.
I bet that at some point in this season, we will need both Brewer and Rudy to step up because, 1) AAA may not sign with us (shudder the thought!), 2)injuries, slumps
Look at how deep the Mavericks had to go. Look at how the Heat’s lack of depth hurt them when one of their stars gagged. Depth, like height, speed and strength are good in the NBA and Rudy and Brewer give us depth
Thanks, amlmart1
Your post may help me to be more accepting of Rudy. Way to fill in the gaps on Rudy’s NBA and world career. I may actually come around on this guy.

Rudy has a chance to excel under a looser offensive approach. In fact, Karl NEEDS players like Rudy who can be creative and get hot in a more up-tempo style. Looking forward to it!

Wow
To think we could add Wilson Chandler to this roster
A baseball park is the one place where a man's wife doesn't mind his getting excited over somebody else's curves
Yep
Will is really important to us. Him and AAA are sorely needed for their toughness, their defense, and in the case of AAA, his leadership and high basketball IQ
Now, now Rox
I was only pointing out positives
But I dont think Will is dumb at all. Its just that he doesnt seem to use his intelligence to enhance his productivity.
Also, it was OK for Kenyon at his age to go sign in China but not smart of Will and even JR to sign up in China.
Nuggets offered a guaranteed contract to james white
strange italian article http://www.sportando.net/eng/italy/serie-a/33379/denver_nuggets_offered_a_guaranteed_contract_to_james_white.html
Denver Nuggets asked to Scavolini Siviglia Pesaro James White. The SF, best scorer in Serie A last season with Sassari, won’t move from Pesaro because his contract doesn’t have buyout or escape.
His agent, Marco Damiani, confirmed to La Gazzetta dello Sport the proposal: “Nuggets were interested in James. The offered him an important role, the main SF of the lineip. White will stay with Pesaro”.
Sports director of Pesaro confirmed as well the proposal: “James had an important offer from Nuggets. A guaranteed one. But his contract doesn’t have buyout. We won’t shop him”
Article kind of sounds like bullshit. But apparently this guy was briefly a nugget and couldn’t beat out Joey Graham for a roster spot.
