    The Denver Nuggets are in great shape heading into next year, and there's no telling how far they may go. One thing that is certain is that Denver's top seven players rank among the best, in my opinon anyway, but it could be up for debate between the likes of the Pistons, Kings or Mavericks.
    Still, from a rebuilding a team that drafted Carmelo Anthony just one year ago, the Nuggets find themselves in solid position after Receiving Kenyon Martin and resigning Marcus Camby.
    players:
    Carmelo Anthony 21ppg- after only rookie season
    Kenyon Martin- 16 ppg,9.5 rpg- an allstar in the '03-04 season
    Andre Miller- 14ppg,6apg- showed promise just 2 years ago
    Marcus Camby- 9ppg,10rpg- a good contributor when healthy
    Nene- 12ppg,6.5rpg- good contribuor after only 2 seasons
    Voshon Lenard- filled the extra scoring void for denver last season
    Earl Boykins- a candidate for sixth man award last season

    I dunno about that...

    Detroit

    Chauncey Billups
    Richard Hamilton
    Tayshaun Prince
    Rasheed Wallace
    Ben Wallace
    Antonio McDyess
    Corliss Williamson

    I gotta say those 7 are better...After all, they are the NBA Champions, (except for McDyess, who's an Olympian)

    Somehow.....

    Duncan, Nestrovic, Ginobili, Parker, Barry, Bowen, and [insert seventh player]
    Garnett, Cassell, Sprewell, Olowakandi, Hudson, Szczerbiak, and Johnson
    Wallace, Wallace, Prince, Billups, Hamilton, McDyess, and Williamson
    Miller, Stojakovic, Bibby, Christie, Webber, Divac, and Jackson

    All strike more fear into me.

    There is no denying that Denver could be potentially one of the better teams in the league though....

    I feel this is the most dominant best 7 in the league right now...and they all stress defense more than the others and can score on the break just like the others...it'll be interesting to see Denver play this season.....

    Nuggets don't have the best overall 7 man rotation in the NBA but they may well have the best frontline rotation. Martin, Camby and Nene is alot of talent, size and defense. Martin and Camby will be really hard to score against inside. Both can make, block and re-arrange shots in the paint. Nene is very tough to stop in the low post, one of the strongest forwards in the NBA, still very young and will continue to get better. How Jeff Bzdelik decides to play those 3 guys remains to be seen but It's certainly a great frontline to have. The Pistons of course will have Ben, Rasheed, Dice and Elden Campbell on the frontline which will be just as dangerous.

    I say the Kings are the better seven with miller, bibby, webber, christie, divac, jackson, peja. They are better because most they have a lot more chemistry than the nuggets, but that will change in a season or two when the nuggets start to know each other.

    Sacramento's 7 is the best in the NBA, no doubt.

    The Nuggets have a very underrated 7, though, and they could suprise.

    But how can you guys forget the Grizzlies? The best off the bench team in the NBA, most complete team in the NBA, 10 man rotation. They dont have the most talent, but they find a way to win with what they have.

    I also think Golden State has a nice 7. Even without Dampier, its Fisher, Richardson, Dunleavy, Murphy, Foyle, Van Exel, Pietrus, then theres Claxton, Robinson, and Biedrins.

    they look good on paper, but we'll see how they perform throughout the season before calling them the best 7 in the NBA.

    afterall, Shaq, Kobe, Malone, and Payton looked amazing on paper.

    Well 3 of those players are points, there isnt a legit goto guy, although J-Rich could be that one.

    Aren't some of you guys forgetting that Divac is with the Lakers now? And who knows how long Peja (or Webber) will stay in Sacremento.

    I have to agree with raps on this one. There is no lineup better than theres. It's a question of if there coach (who is reppin UMBC) can get them to play well together. It could either be amazing or disasterous, and I think it will be amazing.
