Your Opinion Please

With a real pg the Nuggets would be an up & comer.

Question to you: Has Nick behaved himself since going to Denver?

"At one of these governors' conferences, George [W. Bush] turns to me and says: 'What are they talking about?' I said: 'I don't know.' He said: 'You don't know anything, do you?' And I said: 'Not one thing.' [Bush] said: 'Neither do I.' And we kind of high-fived."
--Republican Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico shares a verbal exchange that took place between he and George W. Bush.

I wouldnt predict doom and gloom, but playoffs are out of the picture this year. Van Exel and McDyess are obviously great players, but to succeed they are going to have to have LaFrentz step it up. Playing in the Midwest is no ride at Disneyland though. Spurs, Jazz, Wolve, Grizz, Mavs, Rockets are all going to be better next year. Well not the Jazz (thank GOD). I dont know if Denver is going to be able to keep up.

You think 39% is bad for your PG? Try having a 39%er of a PF. (Sorry, I had to take a quick shot Kenny Thomas.)

As for the Nuggets, I like their talent a lot. I'd love to have McDyess, Lafrentz, Clark, (BTW, do you think any of them will be traded? They are somewhat of a glut from my perspective.) Abdul-Wahad, or Posey on this team. I'm assuming the problem is chemistry, coaching, and/or not having a real center up front. Doom and gloom? I doubt it. But it's hard to see Denver make the playoffs this year. McDyess didn't have quite the season everyone was expecting, did he?

Shandon is underrated.

 

Denver has some very good players. I think they won less than they should have considering the talent on the roster. I always thought of the Nuggets as a milder form of the Grizzlies: a bad front office keeping the team down. I would predict gloom and doom for the team. They'll get better than they are now, but I don't see them being legitimate contenders with the leadership they've got.

Denver has some very nice pieces to the puzzle. I wouldn't say that they will definitely make the playoffs, but they have a chance I believe. You have a point guard in Van Exel who averages 16/9 and from what I saw last year is not the headcase he once was. He was a great floor general, lightning quick, and did many of the things I like in a PG. You have two excellent defensive minded swingmen in Abdul-Wahad and Posey who should offensively become better and have long careers. McDyess is a superstar who can do it all. Your problem area seems to be center, where you are playing Lafrentz out of position. It would be good I think if you could trade Lafrentz and/or Clark for a legitimate center, as Lafrentz, Dice, and Clark are all really natural PFs. But they do have a lot of talent, and so do the Nuggets as a whole. Right now I see 3 things wrong with the Nuggets:

1.Lack of Depth
2.Chemistry
3.Leadership

If they can get those 3 questions resolved, the Nuggets may indeed have a bright future.

Nuggets4, speaking of trading LaFrentz for a real center, have you heard anything on Cato-LaFrentz talks?

I think the nuggets are a good team.

McDyess just needs more help, but I do not think the playoffs are that far around the corner for them.
