@blazerbanter: Thomas Robinson was not made available to the media tonight.

I hope TRob doesn't let the door hit him on the way out.

How about Will or Victor?

 

[riverman]

I wish TRob well! Hope he lands where there is ample opportunity to grow as a player. He was treated well here and earned my respect for his unselfish energy. Just not a great fit. Coaching mismatch. TRob needs a simple playbook like Orlando or Detroit uses to utilize his style of play. I feel the same about Barton. Two east coast guys. They would both play minutes on a lot of eastern conference teams.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He needs to be in a situation where he can get consistent playing time, and a coach who'll let him play through his mistakes.

Unfortunately I don't think Denver is that place with Faried/Hickson at PF and Nurkic emerging. Not to mention McGee is finally back.

I hope we keep Vic, I've always had a soft spot for him. being behind one of the best power forwardsin LA and Batum who never takes a break is hard for development

I'm still surprised Brian Shaw has a job. I predicted he'd be the first fired coach this season. Denver is now the bus station of the NBA

Victor is a photo negative of TRob as a player. High hoops IQ but will never make a highlight reel.

Please, lets get Afflalo!!

What's with you

Please, lets get Afflalo!!

I like him too. And hope that they can get him. Love the fact he creates his own shot and he is def an adequate replacement if Wes leaves. Which I dont see happening

Once I heard we had a chance to get Afflalo, I don't even want chandler. That wouldn't be a good get knowing what we could have if we can get them to bite on it. I have always liked Afflalos' game, and think he just needs to be in the right situation, which I think we can offer.

I do too. And I always thought he was a better defender than some in this forum was crediting him for. At least with what I can remember under George Karl.

You're shooting 0% from the field, and yet you judge Jamal?

To the best of my knowledge, you've never pulled down 10 rebounds in an NBA game and yet you bash Aldridge all the time.

 

[KingSpeed]

Afflalo is a borderline All Star.

I remember the The Starters guys thinking he should've made the All Star team last year. Then again, the last borderline East All Star we got was Raymond Felton.

Actually i think he was an allstar a few years ago...

Fez, you keep bringing up Jurkic, but according to multiple sources he is the only "untouchable" on Denver.

Jokic not Nurkic.
