    LOL. How do you feel about re-signing with Denver now, Nene? Your wife's family is from there and all!

    Hopefully JaVale McGee will still be as incredibly stupid and entertaining on the Nuggets as he was for the Wizards.

    Why is Denver giving up on Nene so fast?

    I was right when I argued Nene was going to be overpaid by Houston at $15M+. Denver is dumping his ass and Houston didn't even want any part of it anymore.

    Really looking forward to the twin towers of Birdman and JaVale McGee. #Entertainment.

    Wow, incredible how fast the tides turned on Nene. I mean damn. Sure he's been disappointing but that's insane by Denver.

    Denver's ruthless. What a cold-blooded move.

    Maybe Denver wants to tank. They get rid of Nene's contract, and they can let McGee go after this season. Just a thought.

    I take it Nene has been sucking up a storm in Denver this year? Haven't really kept an eye on him.

    Maybe they think a new setting and George Karl can turn McGee around.

    Well this likely means Denver drops out of the playoff hunt this year. Good news for us (unless you still think we should tank even though we wouldn't get better than the 12th pick probably).

    13-7 at a cost of $13M...it pretty much had to happen. Now to see if they're just renting McGee or not.
