Those are the stages of grief. I'm not sure there are actually stages of insanity, but clinical researchers could use Clutchfans as a case study.
The best teammate Melo ever had was an Amare Stoudemire without knees. We're about to see what Melo can do when he's not the primary focus of the defense. He's probably 3rd in pecking order here. Having Melo as your 3rd best player is FREAKING AwESOME! With that being said I am cautiously optimistic at this point that we get him.
Amare without knees > Kenyon Martin, Chauncey Billups, Al Harrington, Ty Lawson, etc? Or all of those guys at once? http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/DEN/2011.html
Yeah I was exaggerating, I know that's not necessarily the best way to show it. It's still nothing like a CP3 or JH13. You could argue that at least Billups one a championship though.
Not sure AI was a good player in Denver. My memory is a little foggy on that, but wasn't he a pretty terrible fit there?
