    He's a 3/4. Remember, he was Boki's backup at Benneton?

    The guy's ridiculously scrawny doesn't post up, doesn't rebound much, and likes to shoot from the perimeter. He's definitely not a 4/5.

    Isiah never made the Dream Team. He was snubbed. He was an selected for the 1980 Olympic team, but we boycotted.

    He's not a 3, 4 or 5. He's a stiff. Thank God that mistake is gone. Watching him miss LAYUPS last night.........just wow. End of an Error.

    As for the deal, I love it. Duh. I heard Dallas' 2007 pick or Philly's pick will be what we get. No matter. Najera takes up some cap space, but he's worth it. PAIN IN THE ASS. Sounds like Elson's days are done in Denver though.

    I can't believe someone traded for Skita. Wow.

    I believe Mullin feels like Bzdelik, Cooper and Karl did not allow Skita to grow. Those three coaches combined to slow Skita down. Skita could have been a Dirk Nowitzi or even Peja if he was witha better organization.

    Watch him blossom in GS ....no seriously ;)

    He snubbed Jordan first. It's more like karma.

    Sort of like how he's now cursed with a 'black thumb'

    Fegwu -
    Even if Mullin is right about Skita, it's not like GS had holes at SF & PF. Troy Murphy and Dunleavy Jr are pretty decent players. IMO, it's still a roll of the dice and they'd have been better upgrading to Mohammed and bringing Foyle off of the bench before obtaining a backup work in progress at 3/4.

    But I don't think it will be long before we see whether Mullin was right or not.

    There aren't enough rolling eyes icons for this post......no seriously. Skita was AWFUL. He didn't play in Europe. He caught the Euro craze at the right time. He had a great workout. Then he ignored the Nugs advice and didn't stay in Europe like Kiki (supposedly) wanted him to. Anyone who saw him in the last 7 minutes of the Celtics blowout two nights ago realized that it's not the organization that's holding Skita back.

    From the Denver Post:

    Denver obtained what was originally a Dallas draft pick that was acquired by Golden State and is available to be taken for the first time in 2007. It is protected that year if the pick is among the first seven.

    http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~90~2731479,00.html

    I also read somewhere else (can't remember where) that the pick is protected top 9 through 2008 and then is free in 2009.

    Gater, Nug

    Hey guys I was only being sarcastic. Obviously I was not clear enough or my attempt at sarcasm was weak.

    I was only trying to use the Dadakota argument for Boki "slow" growth in the NBA (since both were team mates at Treviso Benelton [sp] in Italy.

    You guy shouldn't be surprised by any move the Warriors did. That organization is jinxed! Almost every player they traded away plays better when left.

    BTW, they did give an extensive to Foyle, who they literally rolled out the red carpet when they signed him the first time. Red Carpet for Foyle? How many people have heard this guy?

    And Mike Dunleavy Jr. was supposed to be the next Larry Bird.

    Thank you GOD! I'm a little defensive because I've seen a few people already say that the Nugs made a mistake getting rid of Skita and he's gonna explode.

    THE MAN AIRBALLED A LAY-UP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
