    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"It's a great opportunity," Maggette said shortly before taking a plane to his hometown of Chicago. "They're trying to do big things in Denver. It was great meeting with Kiki (Vandeweghe, the general manager) and Jeff Weltman (assistant general manager who previously was with the Clippers) and the other guys. I love the facilities. I love everything about Denver."

    Maggette said the Nuggets are his top choice.

    "They said I'm their No. 1 point guard," Andre Miller said in a telephone interview from his home in Sacramento, Calif. </div>

    dammit. he was on my list of SF's the Bulls should go after. seems like everyone wants to play in Denver. they're all thinking they'll make the playoffs automatically. maybe they dont realize they're in the Western Conference

    How does this lineup sound?

    PG: Dre Miller (Perfect PG to mesh with all the talent, other than JKidd)
    SG: Maggette
    SF: Melo
    PF: Nene
    C: Camby

    and hell, there's a possibility the lineup can look even better than that...I think I'm going to be jumping on the Nugs bandwagon pretty soon, though I'm already halfway on it since they have Nene [​IMG]

    I don't think it is wise to sign two clippers players that were a part of a 24 win season this past year...get maggette..but sign arenas and not miller...

    I think it will be good especially since one of the Clippers they will sign (Maggette) was really the only bright spot. Also, Miller is an unselfish player, a Stockton type, who can fit in with any team he plays on. Those two wouldn't be bad to sign at all. Especially since it was the coaching, and player selfishness *cough* Brand and Kandi *cough* that put the Clips in a bad position.

    i agree. the clippers had a decent PG who could distribute the ball. there were 4 other talented starters. but they still only managed to get 24 wins. i'm not saying it's Miller's fault.. but half the Clippers roster shouldnt be heading over to Denver

    i think that Skita will play PF because they say he has gained weight so that puts Nene at C and Camby off the bench

    Putting Nene at C would be a mistake...they should use Skeeta as trade bait to give the team more depth because after that possible starting lineup they have squat...

    Corey Maggette & Carmelo Anthony on the same team looks good. I think Arenas is a better choice, too, but I really want the Warriors to keep him.
