Jones has never had a big payday. He would be nuts not to be all about the money.

[quote="The
Rebel"]I can understand the need for a guy like Jones, I just don't understand why a 4 yr deal for just under $3 million per. There were better options out there for just around the same money, or I would think Jones probably would be worth the LLE for 2 years, but those last 2 years are just killer.
[quote="8305"]

Agree to some extent here. Jones was not my first choice. I would have loved to see the Pacer persue Ramon Sessions. I don't see either Ford or Jack as a starting caliber pg on a very good team. Sessions has that potential and given all circumstances I think the MLE might be enough to get him. After signing Jones a move at Sessions is out of the question.

Last year everybody was writing off the Nuggets because they lost Camby for nothing, which actually did not hurt the nuggets as he was replaced with Birdman. The Clippers claimed they were contenders.

Nets fans were bragging all over the place when they paid najera his $12 million 4 year deal.

Bucks fans were all over the place when they Stole Boykins from us, while sending us an expiring in Blake and saving us from the luxury tax.

Dallas fans had Buckner as their starting Sg for the next 4 years when they stole him from us.

And now Jones gets a 4 year $11 million deal, and Pacers fans are claiming that they know more then we do about him, and it is a steal.

Over the last few years we have lost several players who played large roles in Denver only to watch them go fall on their face elsewhere. The funniest thing is we constantly hear how Melo does not make anybody better, and everybody on our team is overrated. When do they start to learn, Denver's role players only do one or two things well usually, and the team has a habit of finding their perfect roles, once they leave they cannot do anything else, and become busts. Meanwhile our top players are the ones that really make the team work.

nice post.

So will J.R. finally starting for you guys?!

That was the report coming off last season, before they even knew whether Dahntay would be back. Obviously right now there is a great chance of that happening, with Weems being the only other real option at the moment. If we bring in somebody else though, like Affalo for instance, things could change. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Affalo start and playing the exact same role Dahntay did. J.R. would still get his 30 minutes a night, but would just continue to be that huge spark off the bench. And at least Affalo isn't a liability on offense like Jones was too.

It's not officially a problem until you start losing money. You have at least a good 6 more months until you'll need counseling.

DJ had some monster dunks in the playoffs

I'd say its 50/50 that nuggets will regret not resigning him

Easily they won't. Some monster dunks did not make up for the negative effect he had on the team at both ends of the court.

So the dunks make the player? If that is the only way you judge players you have no clue.

Damn. I missed out on Dahntay Jones' Twitter account, apparently.

I don't owe u ni@%az nothing, shoot me 2 fingaz when u see a ni@%a stuntin.......- rick ross>>>>> the nuggets did me dirty

Apparently it was his cousin. Probably the same guy who keeps framing Melo for weed possession.

He then tries to cover up but tweeting multiple times about how much he loves Denver. Funny stuff.

someone must have reminded him where he would have been if the Nuggets would not have dug his sorry ass up off the scrap heap.

Just had to respond to this again. Denver definitely doesn't regret it now. They now have a much better player to replace DJ for half the price.

He's an unashamed dirty player...he's very valuable, in ways that stats don't show.

How do you figure that? The majority of players in the NBA hate the guy and have an extra motivation to torch his ass each and every time they play against him. Which is not exactly a good thing, considering how terribly untalented he is. Talking mad **** and getting under the skin of opposing players is only good if you're actually capable of backing it up....Dahntay is not.
