He's better than the lot we have. We need all the talent we can get.

And maybe he can help Nic flourish even more by being his support system sorta like how Patty helped Rudy.
 
My draft night board:

first round: Faried

second round: I. Thomas

And Larry Miller goes for Smith and Diebler?

The faster he is fired the better for this team. He's on the tier of John Nash.

Faried is averaging 8 and 6 in 18 mpg in February.

Everyone on the board saw this coming. Yet we still end up with Nolan Smith.

Ahem... (originally posted on 06-24-2011 in the "Grade this years draft" thread:

We got worse at starting PG and did not address the glaring need for a back-up power forward. We could have easily fixed both those problems by simply keeping Andre Miller and drafting Faried at 21. Instead, we thought it would be better to get younger, but worse, and make Denver better in the process. An F for who we drafted becomes an F- for making Denver better in the process. It's bad enough that we didn't get better, but making a division rival better is just plain dumb. But, that what you get when you don't have a real GM running things on draft day. Congrats Paul Allen, you just fucked yourself on draft day for the second year in a row. Good job!

It really is amazing how quickly this team went from being so deep and stacked with talent that posters here were saying we desperately needed a consolidation trade, to a team with an extremely shallow, shitty bench. That's what wiffing on draft day two years in a row and giving away talent for no apparent reason will do for you.

I don't regret not taking Faried. He's only starting because of all their injuries, and they're not doing very well with him. He's another Jerome Williams/Pops Mensah-Bonsu type. I think the real mistake was not drafting Mirotic.
 
Talking of Denver: on the most recent boxscores I've seen it says that Rudy is DNP-CD. Is that right, or is he injured? If he isn't, what did he do to get in the doghouse?

That's the thing, they're really injured, which is why they're losing. He's producing a 21 PER though. Say what you will, but at the very least, he's a serviceable player.

You gotta compare him to who we picked instead, 4.79 PER Nolan Smith who's gotten plenty of significant minutes.
 
Looks like Joe Johnson won't play in the all star game, hopefully they'll finally get it right and select Josh Smith to replace him.
 
Do it! Trade him so he makes the all star team!
 
Anyone watching this Denver/LAC game?

Nuggets are competing against the Clippers without Lawson, Gallo, Nene, and Rudy. Hamilton and Faried look great while Miller is leading them and throwing lobs. We could have had all three of those guys....
 
^Thats what happens when you play your first 20 games at home!
 
Nuggets gonna be 18-17 after tonight. That's a big game for us next wed... Clinch season series and get up 2 games in a very tight race.
 
Lots of reports on Twitter that the Magic are going after Nash and keeping Howard.

I hope they give up Ryan anderson a 1st, AND take bad a bad deal. Then, Nash and howard iwll both leave in the offseason, and they'll be saddled with another crap deal(Childress, Frye?) along with all the other crap deals Otis Smith has given out, and they will lose out on another young talent in Anderson. Ironically enough, to PHX, where they also moved Gortat to. To get Hedo back, lol. How some of these people keep jobs is beyond me.
 
The Magic would be absolute fools not to trade Howard to the L*kers if they are offering up Vagynum.
