Most over rated player in college basketball IMO. Saw him play this weekend at TCU and he looked bad. Against a terrible team he went 6-16 shooting (and an airball) with 6 TO's. The only reason his game was alright was because he got NBA superstar calls to go to the free throw line 9 times.
Also, when the Nuggs get Felton/Devin Harris, they'll probably move them on immediately too. I'd take Felton off their hands for a Felton/Lowry backcourt.
George Karl said to want NY package to remain in the playoffs [hunt]. [rquoter]As the Carmelo Anthony(notes) negotiations dragged on another day, Denver Nuggets coach George Karl is pushing team officials to make the trade with the New York Knicks because it would better position the Nuggets to still contend for a playoff spot this season, league sources with knowledge of the talks told Yahoo! Sports. Nuggets president Josh Kroenke and general manager Masai Ujiri would prefer to send Anthony to the New Jersey Nets in return for a package that includes rookie forward Derrick Favors(notes) and four first-round picks, but Anthony hasn’t committed to signing a three-year, $65 million contract extension with the Nets. Karl doesn’t have a contract for next season, so it’s uncertain how much influence he has in the negotiations.[/rquoter]
This whole MeloDrama with all its permutations is the craziest ongoing soap opera I can ever recall in major team sports. It needs to be sorted with enough time left-over to allow these MeloDealing teams and all others opportunity to do their biz. Knixies deal = Nugs still think they are competitive; Nets and it's a blow-up. Which way will it go down? Oh, yeah - to the N.Y.Zekes.
Steve Kyler: Nuggets may send pieces to Nets and Houston in separate deal.. Nets like Danillo and Chandler... Nuggets could get additional picks. 3 minutes ago
Nene- A Center of limited ability, limited stamina, limited playing life with injury. Not a Championship Center, not a franchise players in the mold of the traditional Rockets Center. I opt to trade any player on our roster for De Marcus Cousins. Starting with Cousins we build a new Rockets Championship Team!
I love the way JR Smith plays basketball, but the guy's such a head case off the court that we may shy away from any deal involving him. However, we did trade for Ron Artest a few years back so, who knows it could still happen. I like Nene too, he's a solid center, but I really don't think he wants to be in Houston and he really isn't a franchise center. He's more of a band-aid for a team thats greatly in search of height.
How this ramifies over ensuing 60-odd hours will be (hopeful and) interesting. I am counting on a great result by DM the GM.
Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard Houston wants Nene bad but sources say Denver unlikely to trade Nene or JR Smith before deadline.
Exactly it was always BS! The NBA is just a big media market show these players don't really want to compete really hard. New York will have the next big 3 Amare/Melo/Chris Paul. This is all set up Houston fans don't get your hopes high this was already set up.
