Kiszla wrote a piece about letting Nene go and it's a decent read. Nene disappears in big games and while he's a darn good player at 29 he's in his prime and he's not a max player. He eludes to Denver going after Marc Gasol (who is three years younger). While I'd love to have Gasol it'd also cost a pretty penny to pry him away from Memphis.
FO has a lot of money to spend come Dec. 9th....Hopefully they make smart choices.
t's widely assumed throughout the league that Denver won't dare let Nene walk. Of course, it was also generally believed Kroenke and Ujiri would get taken to the cleaners when they were forced to trade all-star forward Carmelo Anthony.
If the Nuggets want to be a threat to the rising power that is Oklahoma City in the Western Conference, out-of- the-box thinking is required. Who's to say a frontcourt rotation of Timofey Mozgov, Chris Andersen and an underrated performer such as Landry couldn't be as effective for Denver as paying too much for Nene, whose popularity with paying customers took a big hit with his ghost act in the playoffs?
