    Sorry, I'd rather have a younger player like Patterson.

    If you're interesting in anyone else for Patterson or any of your younger players let me know, I'll trade anyone but Kemba or Biyombo.

    Sorry man, didn't mean to keep you hanging. Since I got Maynor, I don't need temple. But thanks for remembering.

    Anyone on my roster you interested in?

    One of your big men, preferably Jeff Green, although I'd take any for the right price.

    If anybody wants to accquire any veteran talent from me for picks or young players or cap relief, post me a trade offer before 10:00 EST (I believe that's 9:00 CST and 6 am GMT).

    I am especially interested in a young power forward or young center, but I'll also take a young SF.

    Original team:Ray Felton, Wesley Matthews, Gerald Wallace, LaMarcus Aldridge, Marcus Camby; Patty Mills, Luke Babbit, Nolan Smith, Brandon Roy, Nic Batum, Greg Oden, Earl Barron, Armon Johnson - 64.72M

    Current Team: Tony Parker, Jason Terry, Wesley Matthews, Jeff Green, Brendan Haywood, Eric Maynor, Dejuan Blair, Danny Green, Corey Brewer, Tiago Splitter, Nick Collison - 52.7M

    Salary savings of 12M
    Salary Cap: 56.1 (UNDER by 3.4M)

    The Playoff contending level went up with the opportunity to have starter quality players dispell regular starters.
    Parker - more Playoff experience and leads team better
    Jason Terry -more playoff experience and will force post players to entertain penetration.
    Wesley - More offense/less defense than Wallace
    Green - Less dominant big, but solid PF for perimeter focused team
    Haywood - More minutes/less injury history than Camby or Oden

    Eric Maynor (can play along with Terry with playoff inexperence because Terry can bring up the ball)
    Blair-more playoff experience than Luke Babbit coming off of the bench
    Danny Green-playing overseas and producing like a starter
    Brewer can play Peremeter Defense
    Collison can backup either 4/5 position. And will play a full season.

    More Draft Picks
    2-Current 1st, Boston's Current 1st

    2-Current 2nd, Spurs' current 2nd

    2-Future 1st, Boston's 2013 1st

    1-Future 2nd

    Conclusion - not only does Portland pose difficulty for top ranked Western teams, but in the championship round, Portland's depth will keep starters fresh to win in a 7-game series.

    Well I guess I'll do a write up. Started with the nuggets, Lawson, Afflalo, Chandler, Martin, Nene.

    Made the blockbuster trade to bring in Wade. Acquired Okafor for Afflalo and then swung him for Patterson.

    Ended up with

    PG Andre Miller / Goran Dragic
    SG Dwayne Wade / Jordan Hamilton
    SF Danilo Gallinari / Gary Forbes
    PF Patrick Patterson / Kenyon Martin / Udonis Haslem
    C Hasheem Thabeet / Kosta Koufos

    Martin, Miller, Koufos, Dragic and Thabeet's contracts will be off the books next year. That give me enormous cap space with a core of Wade, Gallinari and Patterson and hopefully Hamilton and Forbes will develop into solid role players.

    Obviously, the team as it is now is a playoff team, with Wade leading the show. But the real goal for the Nuggets is to make a major play in the 2012 free agent market. The two players the Nuggets will be targeting most aggressively will be Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. Dwayne has already proven the ability to bring in 2 superstars to his team, so that's what the Nuggets are counting on.

    The Nuggets will have the cap space to sign both Paul and Howard in 2012. And we will do it. Setting up this lineup:

    PG Paul / Dragic
    SG Wade / Hamilton
    SF Gallinari / Forbes
    PF Patterson / Haslem
    C Howard

    Book your championship tickets in Denver from 2012 - 2017, folks.

    Did basically nothing to my team -

    PG Mike Conley Greivis Vasquez Ishmael Smith
    SG Tony Allen Xavier Henry
    SF Rudy Gay Shane Battier Sam Young
    PF Zach Randolph Darrell Arthur Leon Powe
    C Marc Gasol Hamed Haddadi

    Additions - Josh McBob and 1st round pick in 2012
    Subtractions - OJ Mayo

    Trade Reason - OJ Mayo was being a locker room idiot last year and while it worked out, the team looked it could combust. The team needed some frontcourt depth and work so we took in Josh McRoberts who is still cheap. We also got the Pacers first round pick for an epic draft next year (this pick could EASILY be a lottery pick.)


    Overall Team - We must extend Marc Gasol which is project number 1. After that we can continue to build a young team with Z-Bo as the only real veteran in the core of the team. The team will have a great youth/experience balance as well.

    We will look to trade the first round pick of the Pacers, the Grizzlies first round pick, Battier's expiring contract and others.

    Possible trade option - STEVE NASH. 2 first round picks, Mike Conley and a pig man to get Steve Nash/CP3.


    So the Grizzlies will have two paths. Midseason trade for a star/superstar/backcourt depth. Or the use of picks in next years awesome draft to make this young team even better.
