Always thought he'd be a good fit, but I don't know if I'd give him the MLE. I'm still holding out hope for Mike Miller.

if nothing else pops up, we could find a use for him..

screw dallas, they have too many talented players as it is. as hard as they try they fail, plus with rick carlisle as their head coach, they can keep dreaming.

boston is old, but they were always old and still won it once, and came back to the finals in two years.

i hope he chooses denver, although it seems there's little chance, this is the first time i'm hearing about this.

If everyone is offering the same contract, I bet Denver is 3rd on his list.

I'ld imagine he would probably be a starter here next to Nene which has got to be a major reason he would want to come here. He couldn't run that well with the second group and Kenyon would probably be a better fit with lawson, smith, graham, and bird. It gives us a bit more size to match up against the Lakers and probably improves our post defense. The big question is the length of the contract because he is a 14 year vet at the age of 31 and has had injury problems. Even if we did pick him up, we would still need a decent fifth forward for depth with the potential for injury. I wouldn't be to opposed to giving him a 2 or 3 year deal for the full MLE. Anything more than that is a bit much.

I think Denver has the advantage to Boston because in Denver he'll prob start at PF in the beginning of the year and then become the third big off the bench... moving bird to fourth... I hope he doesn't go to Boston b/c he'll be starting at center until at least December and he'll look like ****

Denver you don't want JO, trust me. He has no gas left in the tank.. his next injury could be his last

Just watch how he played for Miami in the playoffs and ask yourself if that's the kind of center you want

Upgrade over K-mart. Both are injured player and not who they used to be. Who was better in there prime O'neal or Martin is the same answer today.

If both players were healthy, Kenyon is definitely better. The problem is Kenyon isn't healthy, wont be healthy for at least another six months, and no one knows if he'll ever be able to get back to the level he was at even just last season.

I know I'm operating under the impression that Kenyon wont be contributing anything next year, which is probably the way the FO is looking at it too. I don't know why so many Nuggets fans are thinking he is going to be an everyday guy, and give us the same production he did last year...it's just not going to happen.

K Mart has a heart but his knee won't allow it no kidding.

Point is FO got to get the next big to fill in, JO, DAMP, Haywood are nice selections. Anything allows Nene to slide down to his position will help dramatically. Please don't call me greedy but i want Mike Miller or AP. Now that would be a real good season.

Well Boston probably isnt going after Brad Miller anymore, wonder what our interest is there

houston wants brad miller?

Damn our options are looking bad. I guess they better pull a decent trade off somehow, and I don't mean Jefferson's no defense stat stuffing.

i hope our summer didnt depend on JON. hes good but he wasnt going to make or break us.

if he was the missing piece then we were pretty far to begin with.

I am sure it did not depend on him, but what else is out there? Brad Miller or an ancient Shaq? Anybody we get will have to come through trade, and then how do you replace the guys who you trade?
