Writing is on the Wall- Salmons Flustrated with Coaches

[pickIBL]

Is it overpaying? In one sense it is and in another it is not. If Kleiza had another year on his deal would I have suggested it? Nope. But since I think he'll be gone this summer and Salmons would still be around a couple of years I decided it was worth it to bring in Salmons. Plus you could replace Kleiza indirectly by dealing Petro's expiring deal to bring in Warrick. Bet Melo would like that.

I am sure you think that giving up a potential top 5 pick is not overpaying, .

When does that Bobcat's pick become unprotected? Believe it is 2014. Thats 5 years off. If the Clippers can have a good season then so can the Bobcats. Who knows how good or bad the Cats will be 5 years from now. What if its the 12th pick in a draft with no depth? Well you get the idea.

If you add John Salmons, use the MLE, and use the trade exception to acquire a big that team is a contender next year. I've watched the Nuggets since Alex English and ya know what I'd like to finally see them win a title.

I doubt the FO would use the trade exception if they have Salmon's contract putting them over the lux tax this season.

acquiring Salmons via trade does not put the Nuggets in the luxury tax

John Salmons will never be the "piece" to a contending club that puts them over the top and helps them win a championship. I don't know what John Salmons did in the league to make you think that he's the next best thing since MJ...but he's not all that and a bag of chips.

and unless you get Kobe or his son Coby to get to play SG...there aren't many in the league GK would start over his new man-crush this year Dahntay Jones.

Honestly, I think we need a back-up 4/5 or back up PG before we think about a SG... and I just don't see Salmons helping the Nuggets. Not to mention that his true position is SF...I think the Nuggets have a pretty good SF... just my opinion on that one...

SMGM23,

My theory is John Salmons plus one. One example i tossed out was Salmons before the deadline and Rasheed Wallace in the summer.
