"I'm going to push myself to be Rookie of the Year," the former Morehead State star said. "That's my goal. I think it's an attainable goal. ... We're going to rebuild and get better. Guys are going to push each other -- I'm going to push others even though I'm a rookie. I'll do my best and play my part."

Regarding my next season, I know that the management in Denver wants for me a more important role. I am ready and I hope next season will be good for me and the team. It is a honour for me to be coached by George Karl. He is a winner. " -Danilo Gallinari

I don't like the nickname "Ill-Will".

I mean, really. It does not fit his personality in the slightest. He is tough, but reserved - almost stoic - not nasty or negative. Because he exudes silent strength and resolve, I propose Will Power.

Wilson Chandler = Will Power. What do y'all think? (I'm gonna use it anyway). Any other suggestions?

Hey guys, I am going to fly up to see the last Nuggets home game that is on a weekend. It is April 9th vs the T'Wolves. Any advice on getting tickets? I have checked Stubbhubb and such but thought I would ask a much trustworthy source. I want decent tickets, I have seen my fair share of Nugs games from the nose bleeds, and while its fun, I really want to see an NBA game from closer. Thanks in advance!

"Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo was pleased he was even in the conversation. Monday's deadline to sign him to a contract extension came and went without Afflalo signing, so he'll be a restricted free agent next summer. But the blossoming pro, in his fourth season, wasn't upset. 'I believe it's a privileged position to even be having the ability to have that conversation right now, with only two or three guys in my class even signing,' Afflalo said. 'So, from that standpoint, if my agent and management were talking, I definitely appreciate it. ... I put my best foot forward.' Afflalo is in the last year of his rookie contract. He was drafted in 2007 by the Detroit Pistons. The Nuggets have the ability to match any offer Afflalo receives during free agency. 'It's the nature of the business,' Afflalo said. 'I value this organization, and I hope they value me. We'll see what happens next summer.' "

Everyone has there own opinion. Its funny. It cracks me up.

When I know something< you guys will know something. #pointblankperiod

According to Newsday, the 6-9, 238-pound forward will end up with the Hornets, his fourth team in five seasons.

Newsday reports that once Amundson decides, the Pacers and Warriors will shift their focus on Earl Barron, the 7-footer who isn't expected to be brought back by the New York Knicks. Barron averaged 11.7 points, 11 rebounds and .6 blocks per game last season .</" target="new">

NBA Fun Fact Of The Day!

Since Michael Jordan retired in January 1999, every NBA Finals has included either Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal or Tim Duncan, and every Finals has been represented in the West by either L.A., San Antonio or Dallas. Parity? I think not.

In the NBA, you've got NO shot at winning a title unless your best player is a top-5 superstar who's also a future Hall-of-Famer. Keep that in mind Memphis Grizzlies, as you continue to bridge your future on Zach "just got busted again" Randolph.

Ty Lawson on Twitter: "Utah is dumb boring"

"We jumped on them (the Nuggets) early and that team doesn't play well behind. They're more of team that's when they're up, everything is going well,"

-Jared Dudley

Motivation anyone?
