"In retrospect, did the Nuggets make one of the great star trades?"


  

          


I'm watching the 2K release party stream from the 40/40 that's going on tonight, and they open it with a Rockets @ Nuggets clip. Definitely a lot of my hype is also wrapped up in the video game potential, but this squad is really looking like my favorite top to bottom lineup of the season.

PG: Lawson / Miller
SG: Iguodala/(Fournier/Corey Brewer)
SF: (Galinari/Chandler) / Iggy / Brewer
PF: Faried / Anthony Randolph
C: Mozgov / McGee / Koufos


They're not title contenders on paper, but this team is going to be fun as hell to watch, their only real weakness is depth at the 4, but they could go small with their speed and be a real fucking nuisance. If the stars align (the Lakers are one injury to Nash/Kobe/Howard at the wrong time away from being a low seed) for them they could go on a Pacers-like run and conceivably hit the conference finals.

I think more accurately James Dolan made one of the worst
Sep 27th 2012
8
they both improved..Felton-billups was a wash. Knicks weren't
Sep 27th 2012
11
      but as we've covered, Dolan negotiated against himself into a worse deal
Sep 27th 2012
15
           i understand and addressed that
Sep 27th 2012
17
...but didn't the NYK improve and the DEN get worse...
Sep 27th 2012
13
wow i always had you bunched with the illogical philly haters so this
Sep 27th 2012
14
but consider recent A+ star departures and how their former teams did
Sep 27th 2012
16
...WOW! Exaggerate much?
Sep 27th 2012
18
      exactly
Sep 27th 2012
19
      get your facts straight: Bosh + Bron were traded to Miami
Sep 27th 2012
20
           sign + trades, while technically right, not much of a difference
Sep 27th 2012
23
           b/c Denver's mgmt had the same shitty hand, played it much, much better
Sep 27th 2012
28
                why was denver's hand shitty? they had a young all star that more
Sep 27th 2012
30
                they had an A-List star they couldn't keep a la D12, Bosh, Shaq et. al.
Sep 27th 2012
32
                     and...
Sep 27th 2012
36
                          I knew Bosh was leaving Toronto in like '03, how did they NOT??
Sep 27th 2012
38
                          don't know what toronto was doing so sure they messed that up on
Sep 27th 2012
39
                               this D12 summer = identical to Denver's last Melo summer
Sep 27th 2012
42
                                    this year, what possible trade destinations were there for 12?
Sep 27th 2012
43
                                         well we'll never know, will we? cuz they did the deal now, not later
Sep 27th 2012
45
                                              lol no...they waited tooo long to do the deal and that's why the
Sep 27th 2012
47
                                                   exactly, they had a better deal from Jersey all year than what they got
Sep 28th 2012
67
                          I would also like to add some revisions to the MEM post Pau perception
Sep 27th 2012
40
                               yeah. the Lakers 'won' that trade
Sep 27th 2012
46
                you lost me, sounded like you were agreeing with me
Sep 27th 2012
33
           lol @ calling bosh and lebron 'trades'...if those were real 'trades'
Sep 27th 2012
25
It wasn't a rental trade, it was a long-haul move
Sep 28th 2012

Being that the Knicks should be battling for the 2 seed in the East
Sep 27th 2012

24
      he's saying that the knicks willl be battling for the #2 seed thisyear
Sep 27th 2012
26
           and he's laughably, hilariously wrong per usual in regards to the Knicks
Sep 27th 2012
27
                agreed.
Sep 27th 2012
31
                Explain what team in the East (besides Miami) is obviously better?
Sep 27th 2012

                Celtics. Nets. Pacers.
Sep 27th 2012

                     Celtics. Nets. Pacers....not scared of any of them.

'Retrospect?' They KILLED that trade, man, set the new standard
Sep 28th 2012

They didn't get much out of the trade itself.
