    Any chance of us landing Mcdyess via trade in the offseason? I thought I read somewhere that he is from Houston and even considered coming to Houston when he was a free agent or something like that. My thinking was that he will be doing anything he can to get the hell out of Denver now that Kiki has destroyed the team. (sorry Nugzfan...just my opinion).

    Plus, the fact that now that Kiki has packed it in, there is a good chance Mcdyess wont risk coming back too soon and rest the whole season if he wasnt planning on doing that already. Judging by what the Nugs took for Raef and Nick, we may be able to get Dice for some young talent, guys with 1 yr left on their deals and a draft pick which will be a high one this year.

    I dont wanna hear Nugzfan and Nuggets4 bashing any more of our deals. Juwon Howard and Tim Hardaway! :D LOL

    We call Kiki up and tell him, Moochie and and our pick for McDyess straight up! McDyess is definitely gone this offseason. :)

    I realize he was trying to clear cap space (i believe howards contract is a team option after next year or maybe even this year) but does he really think anyone is going to want to play for Denver along side of james Posey and Zendon Hamilton? Gimmie a break!

    But most of the star players can be offered the most by staying on their current team - and Denver won't be the only one with cap space anyway.

    In essence, what, aside from being able to offer the player slightly less than he could get by staying where he is, or the same as he could get for another team, can Denver offer? Last time Denver was a big player they got two seemingly great players - Van Exel and McDyess, and even managed to surround them with some decent talent, but went nowhere. Will they keep going in circles.

    I'd rather have Moochie and Kenny anyday over $105,000,000 Juwon and Old Man Hardaway.

    If anyone on this board would have suggested Juwan and Hardaway for LaFrentz, VanExel and Avery you and Nugs4 would have laughed and called that the 1000th reason why people on this board should not make fantasy trades. There have been plenty of trade suggestions for LaFrentz that was basically just cap space (someone like Williams + other expiring contracts) and a draft pick that you laughed at. The fact is you don't have a clue as to what a realistic trade is.

    NugzFan and Nuggets4 know what a realistic trade is... their problem is that Kiki does not know.

    ah so true. i admit. but at the time i thought maybe we could just dump nve and go from there. impossible apparently. so with this being the 2nd option, i am ready to accept it and once kiki decided this is the way to go (completely rebuild) moves dont get any better than this.

    the raef for cap space deals are GARBAGE. they were and are. dont be stupid.

    crash; i remember you and i dont like you. same ole crash crap you like to spew.

    Kiki knows kaka. Sorry but my cousin is a Nugs fan and he tore up half of his house trying to find the least valuable Nugs jersey he had. Dude just needed a hug so I slapped him and told him he is a Rockets fan deep down inside, which led to a big ol' rasslin match. In summary even diehard Nugs fans like Nugzfan had the feeling that Cuban just stuck a big ol 3 mile long dildo up their collective asses:eek: They just aren't admitting it.

    kiki actually got the OK from dice before doing the trade. he knows and hes accepted the direction. of course he can still leave and theres no guarantee he stays but its not as bad as you guys actually think it is.

    um...you couldnt be more wrong. you could try.

    you would fail.

    i like how you take the opinion of one nuggets fan and assume that i feel the same way. how pathetic. honestly i would expect more from you SF.

    you just havent gotten past the nve/raef for howard/hardaway stats part of it. soon you will and then you will understand at least the potential of the trade.
