    you don't think he can get fouls called on him?
    far as I've seen that's all that happens when anyone tries to d-up on the hair line

    You know one name absent from all of this? Thomas Robinson. Come forward all of you who creamed their jeans over him for so long.



    I'm waiting...

    Love to see my nickname for him is sticking!

    Since he's still a SOFTIE I like to shorten it up a bit and call him TT (my neice's nickname).

    How long before Will Barton is every Nuggets fan's fave player?

    That Afflalo gambit continues to blow up in our face.

    Hey, it was worth a shot. ;)

    The worst thing about seeing Barton play so well is knowing that @Blazer4ever was right about him. It makes me doubt so much about myself...

    I don't care about people talking calculated gambles. Hindsight 20/20 we lost a 6th man/starter (now on a 3/$11M contract??!) and a first round pick for a guy that played like shit and left a half season later. Terrible, awful, trade on par with the Felton deal, and possibly worse.

    Same thing as people saying Oden was the right pick. I don't care if 29/30 GMs would have picked Oden vs. Durant. You get props for being the 1/30, not for being the 29/30 that ultimate makes the decision that sets the franchise back.

    As much as I like Plumlee, considering some of our front court redundancy, I'm not sure I like the RH-J trade that much either. With no Plumlee would Stotts be forced to play Meyers at center where he belongs? In defense of the Plumlee trade though, LaMarCooch and Lopez were as good as gone and we hadn't signed Davis yet. Ah well.

    RHJ is a good player. Plumlee is a good player. RHJ is on a rookie deal. Plumlee has half of his rookie deal before he gets paid.

    AGH.

    Yeah I was pretty stoked to be able to get RHJ at No 23 (or whatever it was). That's good value.

    I'm really happy for Will, he is a highlight reel machine in Denver. Gives the Nuggs some Iverson like energy. Last night he had an amazing shot in midair from a jump ball tip that I've never seen before in the NBA and another really amazing spin move with a no look over the shoulder chip shot in traffic. Will can create offense really well.

    Will's playing great. LMA has settled in and is playing very well. Nic is playing well. I still can't believe we Blew up the roster.

    We? I guess I missed the part where we told LMA to fuck off.

    I don't miss him as much as I am happy for him. I wouldn't go after him with free agency cash but would have been nice to see him with us this year with this team (however no way he would have done this well, the minutes wouldn't have been there). With that said, you are wrong, he isn't a free agent this summer. He signed a good deal (for DEN) this off-season.
