JR Smith
I’m not getting excited about him scoring 60 points in a chinese league playoff game. Let’s see what he does in the NBA playoffs

Looked like a glorified practice.

But its still 60 points
and 14-18 from beyond the arc. Even if it is a glorified practice, those are great numbers. He has also been showing a much improved crossover in china

Wow. Sure wish Melo was still a Nugget!
He’s on top of the list!

Afflalo is Boss. But currently slumming in a high-level management position.

I am very interested in where JR ends up. Obviously with the team committed to Afflalo and Rudy bedding in reasonably well there doesn’t appear to be room here, but whichever team can put up with his headcasiness gets a guy who is pretty efficient, spaces the floor and can get his own shot.
i keep dancing on my own.
JR can create his shot (So can Wilson Chandler) Afflalo cannot.
I do wonder if Masai and Josh are looking into upgrading the SG position.
Atheist for Tim Tebow!
Wilson Chandler
With him coming back, we should maybe look to move Afflalo. I like the starting lineup of Ty, Chandler, Gallo, Nene, and Mozgov.

This would kick ass.

It is fine to have your SG be a spotup shooter
when your PG and SF can get their own shot like Gallo and Ty.
i keep dancing on my own.
Chandler
I’m for him starting at SG over Afflalo. I don’t think Chandler will be content with coming off the bench.

I think the Nuggets overpaid Afflalo
but the reality is they are committed to him now, and he’s not really worth that much in a trade anyway ATM, so he’ll be a Nugget and probably playing significant minutes for the foreseeable future. So with that there is just not a lot of room in the rotation for Wilson.
i keep dancing on my own.
True
but still very sad

I still don't get the Chandler thing
sure he’s a good player, but he was playing with one foot out the door in last years playoffs. What would make you think he’s even considering playing here again? I’m guessing he signs his QO to be a UFA in the summer, or we sign and trade him (what I’m hoping for)
Chandler
What could we get for him if we trade him?

maybe JB
but if he was signed here and got consistent minutes, he’d be fine. The trade was a shell shock for Will. I would guess and hope he’s over that esp after his experience playing in the People’s Republic
who's JB?

As I understand it
Will wanted to start. Gallo is intrenched in the starting lineup…
One thing people need to consider Karl didn’t play Chandler and Gallo together very much last season. I’m not sure Chandler would translate to the 2 spot in Karl’s view (not saying he wouldn’t do it if the Nuggets traded AAA…but it’s unlikely from what I’ve seen). So the Nuggets are a bit stuck with trying to convince Chandler to come off the bench.
He is a restricted free agent, but I think Chandlers value is greater in a trade than on the Nuggets roster right now.

Chandler is the perfect size for a small forward … not totally sure he could thrive at the two spot in Denver defending quicker and smaller guys. Maybe though?

I love the idea of Chandler coming back because
he has major physical talent and good skills.
And, if everything went well with AAA, Rudy and Al, then Will would not be needed but shit happens and Will could clean that up.
Exs? AAA has just not been right. Is he going to turn it around? Who knows.
Rudy has been up and down and, like AAA, there is always concern for his health.
Al has been great but I dont trust outside shooters who do little else because, if they are cold, they could be useless.
Afflalo
Maybe we package him and Chandler to New Orleans for Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman. It’s a crazy idea, but I wouldn’t be oposed to it.

Looks like Kmart is cleared to sign anywhere now...good for him
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
After China failed to respond to request for Letter of Clearance for Kenyon Martin, FIBA made surprising decision to grant it, sources say.

Belief was China wouldn’t issue OK to let KMart play in NBA until Chinese season was done; FIBA ruled it OK in last 24 hours, sources say.

surprising FIBA move
i wonder if there will be many season ending “injuries” for the China guys in the next couple of days, requiring them to return to the US.
Ugh. Well at least it's not the Lakers :(
or the Mavericks…I guess

I believe
the Magic also need either JR or Chandler. Their guards are NOT doing what they need to do. JR can shoot the 3 from a Howard kick out, and can get others open down there.
