    Man I'm excited for the upcoming season. Altough I am a Mavericks fan I like the Nuggets. I bet they will make the playoffs if three things happens for them. First, sign Travis Best. Underrated point guard. Explosive. Can knock down threes and mid range jumpers. Best is a great penetrator. Second, a healthy Marcus Camby for the entire season. Camby to me is a true Center even tough a bit thin. Third, sign Juwan Howard as his contract has expired.
    This would be next years starting 5

    Travis Best
    Carmelo Anthony
    Juwan Howard
    Nene Hilario
    Marcus Camby

    Now that is a as talented starting 5 as any in the leauge. Perfect mix of youngsters and vets. Bring Junior Harrington off the bench, give Tsitiskvili minutes at the 3 and 4. Shammond Williams can play his natural position, the 2. And watch out as Chris Andersen will sneak up as a top rebounder. Playoffs, no doubt.

    Carmelo at 2 guard? Dont expect him to be doing much this season. Same with Nene, and Camby.

    Nuggets have no chance at the playoffs this year or for another 3 years...

    signing Travis Best would be a great idea. I dunno why the Bulls got rid of him. I've seen nothing but good things from him after he left.

    Travis Best isn't underrated, he just plain sucks. Carmelo will be playing SF, and you've got no other possible "bigger-name" FAs on that starting list, doing a couple more possibilities would be a good idea.

    I think the Nuggets have a pretty good team. So I think it's important to keep it together. And from what I've seen from Carmelo, it looks like he's got both the speed and the handle to play the 2. Injuries can Fukk even the best team up.
    Travis Best does not suck. He made a game winner earlier this year against the Knicks and he played very well early in the season, but then he got hurt and the heat fell out of the playoff race. Trust me, all the Nugs gotta do is to get Howard back, Sign Best and give Carmelo minutes and I think they will make the playoffs.

    They have a good frontcourt, but I don't even know about Juwan, and Camby. Melo at 2? Never.

    Get real man..nuggets have no chance at the playoffs...melo is not going to change that team much..they will be right near the bottom of the league once again...you seem to forget they play in the west....nuggets will be lucky to get 30 wins next season....they wouldn't even make the playoffs even the east..nevermind the tough west....

    then he doesn't realize what he's saying. Melo's a true SF. he could play SG if he had to, but that'd be a bit of a stretch

    yea...travis best sucks, him starting at your point would only hurt the team, he dribbles around too much and doesnt make anything happen, and hes a streaky shooter. juwan at the 3 spot would hurt you too, hes too big and slow to guard the 3 spot...and lets be honest, camby will get hurt again, hes like glass man from the movie 'unbreakable'

    if you guys sign gilbert youll be better off, but im with allnet, even with gilbert your still far from the playoffs

    on ESPNews they just said today that the nuggets are going to sign Corey maggette, which would lead me to believe that Andre Miller could be on his way to the nuggets in a same "package" deal that the lakers and nets have already used in getting malone/payton and mourning/kidd respectivley
