I love Thrill's energy but he is not able to guard his position at all...he's a perfect 6 man for sparking the offense though. Will can't guard Lebron like Aminu can

you don't think he can get fouls called on him?
far as I've seen that's all that happens when anyone tries to d-up on the hair line
 
You know one name absent from all of this? Thomas Robinson. Come forward all of you who creamed their jeans over him for so long.



I'm waiting...

Love to see my nickname for him is sticking!

Since he's still a SOFTIE I like to shorten it up a bit and call him TT (my neice's nickname).

That Afflalo gambit continues to blow up in our face.

Hey, it was worth a shot. ;)

I don't care about people talking calculated gambles. Hindsight 20/20 we lost a 6th man/starter (now on a 3/$11M contract??!) and a first round pick for a guy that played like shit and left a half season later. Terrible, awful, trade on par with the Felton deal, and possibly worse.

Same thing as people saying Oden was the right pick. I don't care if 29/30 GMs would have picked Oden vs. Durant. You get props for being the 1/30, not for being the 29/30 that ultimate makes the decision that sets the franchise back.
 
As much as I like Plumlee, considering some of our front court redundancy, I'm not sure I like the RH-J trade that much either. With no Plumlee would Stotts be forced to play Meyers at center where he belongs? In defense of the Plumlee trade though, LaMarCooch and Lopez were as good as gone and we hadn't signed Davis yet. Ah well.

RHJ is a good player. Plumlee is a good player. RHJ is on a rookie deal. Plumlee has half of his rookie deal before he gets paid.

AGH.
 
Yeah I was pretty stoked to be able to get RHJ at No 23 (or whatever it was). That's good value.
 
I'm really happy for Will, he is a highlight reel machine in Denver. Gives the Nuggs some Iverson like energy. Last night he had an amazing shot in midair from a jump ball tip that I've never seen before in the NBA and another really amazing spin move with a no look over the shoulder chip shot in traffic. Will can create offense really well.
 
Will's playing great. LMA has settled in and is playing very well. Nic is playing well. I still can't believe we Blew up the roster.
 
Why are ppl so sad about Barton? Yea he's doing well ok but man if we miss him that much you guys know he's a FA this summer, we can always sign him to a big deal if we really want him..

I don't miss him as much as I am happy for him. I wouldn't go after him with free agency cash but would have been nice to see him with us this year with this team (however no way he would have done this well, the minutes wouldn't have been there). With that said, you are wrong, he isn't a free agent this summer. He signed a good deal (for DEN) this off-season.

For me it's more about we ended up losing assets for essentially nothing.

Barton was going to be a FA, how would he of been an asset last summer? Was he going to re-sign to sit behind CJ and Crabbe?

Didn't we give up a 1st round pick, or multiple 2nd rounders, along with him? That's the lost asset, not Barton himself.

Yep if we make the playoffs then that is definitely a lost asset for nothing.

Barton was RFA. Had we not traded him, we would have kept him.

But I think they made that decision when they traded him. They still had Wes and CJ and Crabbe. Even without Wes we all knew they had to make a decision between Will and Crabbe. And Crabbe was the right choice. Barton needed a chance to play somewhere. He was not going to be re-signed.

Crabbe plays a lot of 3. CJ plays plenty at 1. We weren't paying to keep Wes if Aldridge wasn't staying. Barton could easily have stayed and thrived.
