Nate talks trade aftermath on WCWP Sports radio

I hope Chauncey likes it in the big Apples.

Come home soon, buddy.

if this is getting melo’d (getting pretty much the knicks’ roster before the trade) i say it beats getting bron’d and bosh’d

Good to see hear on the radio representing Nuggets Nation and Denver Stiffs. I like what you you said about Nene. Who he is as a player doesn’t make him any less valuable to a winning team and I really hope Denver keeps him.

Sadly, I agree with all the stuff about the Nuggets draft history. Although Denver is a much, much better organization now. Having Dean Oliver behind the scenes, plus Masai’s scouting background, Josh Kroenke’s experience as a college player and even Breat Bearup’s connection – there is reason to have faith in this teams ability to draft. Kiki is gone now, out of the whole NBA thank God.

Fantastic interview Nate

Good job, Nate. And I’m glad to hear that NY radio is an equal opportunity employer; what with not discriminating about learning disabilities and speech impediments as long as the host is suitably myopic. And I say this having lived in NYC, Jersey City, and in L.A. now. These clowns ain’t too be taken none too serious.

however, I feel that Antoni’s offensive playbook is far more creative than George Karl’s, So that will take some adjusting to get to for the new players.

After reading GK’s interview with Chris Thomasson, I am worried about the fragile chemistry that any team with 5 new players (and the loss of its captains) is going to have. In his interview, Karl rambled on about Gallo being the starter at SF, JR’s bad play, and publicly proclaimed Ty the “starter”. All of George’s comments may be honest, interesting, and revealing, but I think our coach needs take a step back from his usual free flow thought process with the media and give this team some time to gel. I am worried about Ray feeling slighted for not starting (the guy was a starter and had better stats than Ty). I am worried about WC’s attitude with all of the attention going to Gallo being the starter at SF because he “plays the right way”. I am worried about JR imploding without Billups and Melo around to mediate his relationship with Karl. After coming off perhaps his best and most important contribution of the season against Memphis, Karl should have praised JR for helping the Nuggets snag a big win with his effort, energy and production. Instead, Karl made public attention of a couple of bad JR shots.

Please George, get to know your new guys and your new team, before playing talking head with the media. Your honest ramblings to the press is a formula for losing your team mentally and assuring the Nuggs of missing the playoffs. I would prefer GK say he still evaluating his team and lineups and its not clear who will ultimately replace Melo and Billups in the starting lineup. And, if JR is not going to be traded, how about laying off him in the media, particularly with his big brothers CB and Melo gone.

The Clippers would give up a likely top-10 lottery pick to make the savings happen. “That just shows you how much we hate this draft,” one Clippers source told ESPN.com.
