    I don't think you win a Championship with Javale McGee at Center - either for the Nuggets or Blazers. He's a decent player, but not enough of a difference maker. He's not solid enough at rebounding and setting picks to get the team to win. Maybe he'll prove me wrong this year in Denver. Probably not.

    So, you guys still want Javale over Iggy?

    Yes but it has more to do with need and the price then who is better.

    No I don't. I don't want Koufos either. Hell I don't even want Faried. Maybe Mozgov but that's only because I have not seen him play.

    If they call Denver immediately this summer they should be asking about the smallest guy on the team. Not the biggest. Ty Lawson is a stud at 5'11". Guards win close games and he was the biggest factor all game long. I love watching him play.

    Went to the game last night.

    Don't get 10M/yr for McGee. He contributes more than his stats, but must hurt to have to pay him 10M and increasing each year.

    -sidenote: he might be a low IQ guy, but he is a good natured guy. He interacted with the fans in a good natured way and threw his headband at the person sitting next to me because the fan asked for it.

    Iggy looked good. I think he opts out of his huge 16M dollar salary and signs a multi-year deal for more money (just not more/yr).

    -if Denver wants to re-sign Iggy, they are going to have to do some reshuffling of their roster. And I'm no scout, but I think Denver is stuck with McGee.

    Mosgov is is a big boy. Can he play?

    Mosgov did well after that trade for Melo. I think he is more of a rebounding and position defender. You know, the guy that fills the lane and is hard to post up against?

    I don't think he is a good shot blocker (or paint intimidator)
