You should just stick to "gathering your thoughts".

Lol at both of you for forgetting about Marcus Camby. You guys make it too easy to prove you wrong.

No one forgot about Marcus Camby, but when that's you're only significant trade in 4 years, you don't have much to build upon.

You know what the best part of the KP era was? Being able to hear our names in rumors every deadline and then end up with nothing.

Oh sorry, Turkoglu.

Oops, I mean Miller.

Steve Blake is tough to watch.

Did he or did he not get a deal done? Yes? Ok, thanks.

You can stop posting now.

You're comparing 4 years of work to half a year.

Learn the game, then post.

The nine-player Nugs team is up 20 on the Gay-less Grizzlies at halftime. WTF. MEM clearly thought this would be easy.

It's never easy to win in Denver.

KP has made one significant trade in 4 years.

LOL, keep clinging to that though.

EDIT: Sorry, two. He traded Taurean Green for Von Wafer.

He also traded Randy Foye for Brandon Roy. And Tyrus Thomas for LaMarcus Aldridge. Traded Jack for Bayless which became a pick that could be good. Traded for Rudy. Traded for Batum. The guy made a slew of great trades.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Really?

You've never heard of Marcus Camby?

Marcus Camby is 37 years old and in the twilight of his career. Carl Landry is in his prime, so I'm going to ask again. When did KP trade spare parts for a really good player in his prime? Tick, tock, tick, tock ...

Is that a mental note for yourself?

When he traded!....for....?!

I mean when Jar...was...

I mean...

Wait, let me gather my thoughts again...

Can't even remember the Marcus Camby trade. lmao

This forum bores me

1. It's widely debated whether or not he really was responsible for Roy and LMA.

2. All of those were draft day trades. So when exactly has he acquired a good young player during the season? There were definitely reports of deals (Wallace, Butler etc.) but nothing ever materialized.

Ever heard of Von Wafer?

I'd rather have Camby(who doesn't look done at all) than Landry. On a contending team Landry is a nice player off the bench. After scoring he provides no defense, block shots or even rebounds. He's a scoring PF and that's it.

Camby is still one of the best rebounders in the NBA and is still good at blocking shots. His passing game with Aldridge is a big weapon. He looks like he can play at least another 2 years at a high level. He's a legitimate starter, Landry really isn't.

Keep downplaying it, though.

1. It's widely debated whether or not he really was responsible for Roy and LMA.

Then explain why Paul Allen came out after that draft and said KP was responsible for the trades. People have posted links saying as much.

As much as it might kill you to believe, KP was responsible for that draft. Sorry if that hurts.

Oh snap.

On a contending team, Landry was a very good defender and a decent rebounder. It was when he was given a larger role on a poor team that he became a one-dimensional scorer. In our lineup, alongside LA, he could return to the productive role-player he was two years ago.

He traded for Brandon Roy, who was the Rookie of the Year, and LMA, a future All-Star, when Paul Allen let him run a draft.

Cho so far has traded 14 PER player who had a 15 PER playoff for nothing of value this year.

I've never had a problem with his draft day trades, but trading for a draft pick isn't quite what we're talking about here.

Fair enough. The truth is that KP's roster, yet again decimated by injury, along with Nate's coaching, is still deep enough to be the 5th seed after 50-some games this season in a very deep Western Conference. I don't see why the guy still gets bashed for constructing a decent and deep roster. Cho has really done nothing but ride KP's coattails so far, but I don't blame him for it.

KLove goes for 20/17 in yet another loss.

Jon Brockman gets a career-high 14 rebounds in the win.

Spurs/Thunder in a tight one. If Thunder lose and we win, we're only 3.5 games out of the division lead and the 4 seed. Amazing, right?

If we beat the Lakers and Thunder lose they will be tied in the loss column.

If cows could fly, we wouldn't need airplanes.

Because we'd ride intercontinental cows? Unless this flight were powered by magic, it'd surprise me if cows had the energy for that. In addition, I'm not entirely sure people could really take a flight over an ocean, through storms, on the back of a cow.

But I do like the new turn of phrase.

Why do you have such low self-esteem? Was it not graduating from college? Or, even not even attending college?

Anyhow, I'm glad that you're you. Just another character on S2, and a fan of the red and blue.

Watching 24 Hours With on NBATV, it's Kevin Love in the spotlight. I really like what I see from Love, but did anybody notice that in the huddle after the game in the lockerroom where the TWovles actually won a game, Mike Beasley wasn't dressed for the game, and on the "We Won" break by Rambis, that Beaze just stood there chomping his gum? I noticed it.

All of it, Bilbo Baggins.

Denver is playing some fantastic team ball. This is reminiscent of our win vs. SAS.

 

[RoyToy]

Denver 2-0 since trading Melo

They're playing like a team and like they have something to prove.
