I think melo will go off here soon, hes already becoming a monster on the boards lately, and i believe he will just catch fire soon, and it will lead to a big second half of the year.

Once Kenyon gets 35 Minutes a game, he'll be contributing with 16 points and 8 boards and more importantly his stellar defense.

the last thing the Nuggets need is a pg who dribbles the ball more than AI, is smaller, is an even bigger defensive liability, who also can't really hit 3s and has the biggest tendency to just jack up shots of anyone I can remember watching play basketball since antwoine walker.

The last thing the Nuggets need is an injured Chucky Atkins when he was slated to be the starting pg. For energy, Boykins would be an upgrade - despite all his faults at least the guy could get up and down the court.
But that's not really a call to get Boykins back - I'm just saying they need to infuse some energy into the rotations.
Obviously, anyone will take Bobby Jones if we're just talking about energy.

You have officially lost all credibility.

Saying Boykins is an upgrade in getting up and down the court over an injured player is a loss of credibility?

WOW You now have officially lost all credibility.
I would rather give J.R./Yak/Kleiza the minutes. You have obviously never seen Boykins play (maybe one or two times). He will pound the rock for 20 seconds and will either force up a shot or pass it to someone with only a couple seconds left on the shot clock and then they have to force up a shot. His defense, well let's not go he can stay in front of his man fine but anyone can shoot over him. We would get stomped by the elite teams if we ever played AI/Boykins backcourt at any point in the game and since AI plays about 40 minutes a game he wouldn't get any playing time.
There was a reason he was traded last year.

Reading comprehension, figure it out.
Boykins an uninjured player is an upgrade over a player who needs a hernia operation at getting up and down the court.
Now.. replace Boykins with any uninjured player, and the same will still be true.
Do you follow now? No one is saying they want Boykins on the team. No one is saying he would be better than Yak/JR/McCoy, whomever.
So next time you want to jump all over someone, take a moment to understand what they are saying first. You'll look less foolish that way.

We could hide him in a trenchcoat and put Mike Wilks on his shoulders?

Really any other player would do - I just know Karl would actually use a Boykins over any other player. But we really don't want to do it because he is Boykins.
I don't like it when any player dribbles or holds the ball in the post for 20 seconds. By the 15th second or so you know that possession's gone.
AI does it quite a bit and if it wasn't for his finishing abilities....I don't know where he'd be...
