Well, you just keep getting more wrong. Denver's best defensive player was and is Kenyon. They added Balkman who is a better defender than Najera. Camby, for all of his pretty stats (blocks and rebounds) hurt the team defense.
Yi has a mid range game and can handle the ball well enough to create his own shot and shots for others. He is not a spot up shooter. He is a face up 4.
I view what I see at 82games.com with perspective, but if you look up what Najera did for the Nuggets, it's so stark that you have to be impressed. Out of all the acquisitions the Nets made, he is the one the most teams could use and the one that will probably most affect the win column.
I'll give you the short version of my many rants He doesn't rotate which leaves the rest of the team scrambling to pick up shooters because he wants to stay near the basket to pick up blocks. One of the reasons the Lakers killed the Nuggets is because they would work inside out and rotate the ball to an open shooter. He is a horrid man defender. Because he gambles for weak side blocks, he gives up a lot of basket to his man by leaving him wide open.
Lebron on any team is a top 4 team in the east. Lebron goes as far as his cast can take him. With Mo Williams to take the ball handling and scoring pressure off him as a true PG, it will help Lebron. I think they're bigs will be their downfall. With Varejao, Wallace and Z as the 3 with experience, they need a mobile guy that can finish and none of those 3 are that. Without even going out and sniffing the FA market armed with an MLE, doesn't really bode well for LBJ sticking with the Cavs after his deal is done.
at the very least he can bring it up the floor and make the easy pass as well as hit 3's and create his own shot. running the offense remains to be seen.
It's Mo Williams' ability to shoot, and not his passing that will help Lebron. We'll have to see if everything else about him will hurt the Cavs though.
