    So, according to the logic expressed in the Von thread, this means that not one (NOT ONE!) NBA team wanted Kleiza. He must suck.

    MY LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER! THANK YOU JEEBUS!

    And to steal a quote from the other thread:

    You spelled some words wrong. You misspelled "never returns to the NBA" with "comes back next year". I'm so glad I don't have to see that prick on my TV anymore.

    I was under the impression you were ok with Kleiza and that you didnt want to see him traded because the Nuggets had invested the time and money to develop him over here. Maybe I got your opinion confused with what the team wanted to do.


    and Good Lord thats a lot of money for a player of Kleiza's talent thats like 1/2 million more than the MLE money. :eek:

    Wow. If Linus can get 12 million, how much could Lebron or Kobe get?

    Before last season, I was ok with him getting MLE money from the team. Then he didn't get his contract, sulked, played worse defense than ever before (and that's saying something) and did nothing but jack up horrible 3's. Now I hope I never have to see the SOB play a game of basketball ever again.

    The Nugs are a better team with Balkman getting his minutes. I'd love to see us grab a 2/3 who can shoot the 3 a little to provide depth, but we got better by letting him leave.

    Wow. They should definitely contend with that group.

    I thought the Euroleagues had a limit on foreign players on the roster. Am I thinking of a different league?
