J.R. Smith headed to China?

but Chu Chu is most likely headed for the D league.

I think he’s only 19

I actually think that back court could work pretty well (dependent on matchups)

And just like he wanted Felton and Ty to work – that sucked too….

Because he will get China’s votes. That’s right ween, he knows what he is doing by going to China and will be an all-star for sure. The only problems is making the ballot.

Forbes can’t/couldn’t/never will tie JR’s shoes let along play as well as him…

The nuggets still have Gallo, Afflalo, Miller, Harrington, Hamilton and Forbes to play the wings

watching your favorite team and league disintegrate right before your eyes. i’m sad to see jr go but am also looking forward to (one day) seeing the rookies bring more consistency to the team

New favorite player probably isn’t even on the Nuggets yet….

Come on – that is ridiculous – Forbes played a lot of minutes and while he had a few decent games, he was pretty much non-existent. Hamilton? A rookie – I keep repeating that rookies don’t have good first years and rarely second years – if they can come out and average 10 a game and some rebounds, they are in the “rookie all-star game” – the exceptions to this are those few guys in the first 5 picks or so… reality is that the team has fallen apart with the bad timing of everything… another down period for we Nuggets fans as we wait for the next cycle of putting together a good team.

JR without George trashing him for a few months of ball… JR is GONNNNNNNNE!!!! You wanted him gone – I think this seals the deal – I want JR shootin’ holsters at George in a Bull’s uniform :)

/fingers crossed

Koufos got the ball back and dunked it. Koufos has 11 points

Koufos closes out on 3 point shooter. They shoot over him.

Mozgov 19points 5 rebounds 3 blocks
Koufos 15 points 3 rebounds 1 block 1 steal

both leading scorers

1. Casspi has almost no value. Cleveland would probably give those two away for a second round pick. Also, I like Koufos in our future. Athletic 7 footers are hard to find.

2. We can’t trade WC. He’s a restricted free agent. Also he’s in China. No one would trade for him if he was here. Also I’d rather have Nene then Lopez. And I think they’re gonna include Lopez in a trade for Howard. (yes, I’m guessing Howard will be traded, and to Nets not Lakers.)

and the last proposal was a 62 million flex cap. so with 2million to ham/faried. That puts us at30 million. Then about 16 million more for nene/afflalo puts us at 46million. That is 16 million under the cap. That’s more than enough to sign Baby Gasol. If there is amnesty, like in the last CBA, we could ditch harrington’s useless salary or find a way to trade him away, since he useless, and maybe bird too, to clear 6-12 million more. Leaving us space for Chandler’s 2012 return. Also Miller’s 8 million dollars will expire in 2012. Allowing us to give Gallo an extension and resigning Miller for cheap since he will be 36.

But JR will NEVER come back after tasting the freedom of “no-George”…

If we play a season next year. It could be the year of Gallo or the year of Ty. Gallo essentially missed his entire rookie year. This year was his second, and Mike Dantoni used Gallo essentially as 3rd option behind Amare and Felton. GK will use him as option 1. Remember that game against portland where Gallo put up 30. As Gallo gets used to denver, the offense and the team, that will become a common occurrence. After Ty became a starter, he skyrocketed to 18 points, 8 assists a game, splitting time with felton. He will only go up from here. Next, why the hate for Afflalo. When I look at him, I see the clutch in his eyes. I remember the Lakers game in Denver where everyone was burned of melo talk. AAA take over and had 20 points in the first half. They interviewed phil Jackson about what adjustments he would make. His answer was short and to the point. “We’ve got to stop Afflalo.” That’s when I had a realization that Afflalo may become more than a role player. Sure enough a month later, Afflalo took over a 4th quarter game scoring 18 points and single handedly destroyed Dallas. In our new past friendly system, the team is his for the taking.

Now there is a chance, that we lose too many free agents, essentually everyone except AAA. We’ll have a long season… but at least this 2012 draft is loaded. The top 5 are said to individually have been able to be the top pick in the top 5 drafts. There’s Andre Drummon 6ft 11 center, compared to Dwight. Anthony Davis 6ft 11 pg, compared to Timmy Duncan. James McAdoo, 6ft 10, compared to KG, Harrison Barnes “most complete swing player since Kobe” Add Jared sullinger = Kevin Love, Brad Beal = Ray Allen, Jeremy Lamb= Rip Hamilton, Austin Rivers= Stephan Curry. If we suck, I’m glad it’s this year with the best class since 2003. I hope we get Drummond.

Everyone was pessimistic after the melo trade, but then they went 18-6. If you go back and rewatch those games, It was widely Ty and Nene that lead that charge with a few big bursts from Gallo and overall strong team defense. I remember I went into the chatroom at ESPN during the Nuggets/Hornets game and said Ty would outplay CP3. Everyone thought I was nuts, but Denver won and Ty had a better stat line than Cp3. The man can beat everyone to the basket, and if you sag off him, he will make the open jumper. He’s got an excellent ft% and 3pt %. Ty often got hit going up for layups last year with no calls. Once the refs recognize him as an all star, he will get tons of free throws making him even more dangerous.He alone is worth your optimism.
