    Funny the Nuggets fired their coach. He's not the problem. Has anyone considered yet what a mistake it was for the Nuggets to give all that money to team chemistry cancer Kenyon Martin?? I mean, isn't all he's doing other than destroying the team chmistry is taking valueble shots and touches away from Carmello?? thats what it seems like to me. If u didnt have Kmart, the nuggets would be as good or better as they were last year

    I disagree, I don't think that KMart is a cancer. If you look he is shooting .469, averaging 15ppg 8 rpg, a block and 1.4 steals per game, and 3 assists per game. His performance really doesn't seem like that of a cancer player. He seems like a player that motivates teammates and hustles all the time.

    Its funny because we must have different definitions of a cancer.

    I believe you are not taking into consideration that Denver lost a very solid contributer and important component of last year's Nuggets (Lenard). I think Melo's ankle problems and early shooting slump also had an impact. Denver has struggled to replace Voshon.

    You guys' biggest problem is that you are missing Melo and he isn't playing like he usedto, Lenard is missing

    I have a quesiton for you. How many Nuggets' games have you actually watched? He has done nothing but improve the team chemistry because the Nuggets see him stick up for them and that doesnt do anytihng but help your chemistry. Also, he doesnt take shots away from Melo rarely do the Nuggets run a play to him. Just about all of his points come off the offensive board and from hustling. I dont tottally think you can blame the Nuggets problems so far their problems have been on the coaching. I mean Jeff was a great coach but it was time to let him go, and as far as chemistry goes, Jeff wasn't doing much to help out. And so what if Micheal Cooper hasn't gone 2-0. Hes just the interim coach and we played the lakers last night anyway and Kobe dropped 42 so what can you do.

    That's ridiculous to say Kmart is hurting the team, chemistry killer? Taking shots from Melo? Isn't Melo taking the same amount of shots as last season, and their's no way he's killing their chemistry, I can only think of him helping them.

    well to tell you the truth i did think k-mart might not be a good fit for the bugs, but when i actually watched one of there games in which they won i saw he was a good contributer.

    But mos def i think they needed a new coach and ithey definately need a shooter to spread the floor out for there team. the loss of lenard has hurt the nugs the most to me.

    Also i have heard that the nugs current caoch is not there definite coach. i believe he's just filling the role until they find a better coach or until they figure that this guys is definatly not the coach that they want.

    Haha, Allnet I remember those...

    Olskool was the biggest Kmart hater you would ever find...but he isn't the reason..try the regression of Carmelo, his immature attitude feeling like the world is against him, he just needs to shut up and play his game..hopefully marriage will help him mature as a person and eventually as a ball player...

    team cancer..? he is our MVP when Melo's out with injury. K-Mart is a winner, her's got no history whatsoever as a team cancer, he'll give up those shots for wins. We didn't have K-Mart, we're toast. Funny you're looking for our team's cancer when your Celts aren't doing any better (14-17). [​IMG]

    Sure he's doing good right? But really is he worth the MAX. I mean isn't that for franchise type players. Right now Martin is a good role player, he is IMO overpaid. But I know there was noone else the Nuggets could have gotten this summer, so it was a good choice for them.

    No, dont get rid of Nene. He's not the problem hes part of the solution. As much as I love Andre, he is not the right fit. He's a half-court point gaurd, we need a runner like JKidd.

    Well i agree sometihng needs to get done but you don't need a great SG to fill the roll of Vo Lenard. Think about it. What was Vos purpose on the team, and why are we missing now that he is gone? He stretched out the defense with his 3pt shooting. So if you get a 3pt shoot who could even come off the bench and just play him when the defense is collapsing on the middle problem solved.

    nah, i dont think, Redd is an all star caliber player and the Nuggets dont really have the players or cap space to trade for.
