Lol. This I know. If it's any consolation my left arm is in a sling with two screws in it and I'm on 12 percosets a day.

Fun times. Needed to be said at the moment. Last I will mention it, already regret when less drugged. Next dose at 10 PM. Edited previous post prior to dosing.

Apologies...the hilarious responses were much needed for an old man post surgery.

Prevale is that a combination of JaVale and Pierre with a little dyslexia thrown in the mix?

Personally, I'm more interested in Post-Vale. So far, so good.

I think this trade is a win-win for both teams.

McGee was going nowhere at Washington, and really Nene has never been able to stop Bynum before or has ever beasted in a playoffs game.

On the otherhand, Nene should help the Wizards push for a playoffs spot next year.

Re-sign him. I dare you.

Javale's post scoring looked good. He had a great game at both ends of the floor.

16 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 2 assists, 1 turnover. McGee finished a game-high +30.

The thing he really did was hang in there against Bynum. At times, Javale got tossed around like a rag doll. He got hammered and thrown to the ground, yet McGee kept coming back at Bynum. He outpaced Bynum, and McGee did his damage in 28 minutes, as opposed to 41 for Bynum.

I was really happy to see Javale do well. I think the Nuggets have cracked the code on how to beat LAL. They can slow Bynum by running a double team at him.

All this means is that McGee is going to cost more in free agency. Instead of being an expensive disappointment, he's going to be a really expensive disappointment.

Keep hating, nate. I think McGee will get 10M per year and be worth every penny of it. He's going to have a nice career.

Denver's future lies in racing the ball up court, and with Lawson hitting Faried and McGee for dunks.

What the Nuggets need against the Lakers is somebody with PF/C size and perimeter skills to put in the frontcourt with McGee and Faried. Danilo Galinari doesn't look healthy and he's not quite big or strong enough to be a factor inside. The Nuggets need to draft somebody like Arnett Moultrie and they will be set. As scrappy as Faried is playing PF, I think he will be much more effective at SF.

McGee will get massively overpaid this offseason, and the team that does overpay him will likely be disappointed for their return. I used to be in the same boat as you CCJ, but McGee has done this before. He had dominant games with us too, but he was very inconsistent, and even finished many games with us on the bench. There's a reason why Denver benched him in favor of Kousta Koufos.

McGee is going to get $10M+ a year and put up great counting stats, but he won't be worth every penny. I predict Denver will never have much success with McGee as a starting center.

JaVale is all of 24 y/o, we all know how -long it takes big men to develop. I am placing my bets on JaVale reaching his potential under a superior basketball organization.

This series against the Lakers, McGee has been one of Denver's top-3 players. Faried has been their most effective. Bynum really has destroyed Koufas.

If I were a GM I would fire George Karl for sitting McGee this series should he do so and cause them to lose. Karl is a lot like Flip was at Minnesota. Almost NEVER gets out of the first round.

I agree that McGee is really going to turn the corner . The fact that McGee was quoted as saying he was really going to focus on his outside shooting this summer really shows that he understands where his deficiencies are, and that he has matured as a person and a player.

Or, you guys are nuts. McGee is McGee. He will have some big games and some spectacular highlights. Mcgee had plenty of big games in Washington. So did Blatche, but to a lease degree. McGee's stats in Denver were roughly the same or worse than they were in Washington, and McGee doesn't have the mental makeup to ever justify a huge contract.

McGee looks and acts different. Most people are visual. A lot of people are haters, I think because of the way McGee looks when he makes blunders.

I am glad the way the Wizards are playing now with Nene. I am also hopeful McGee can have a whole lot more games like yesterday. Faried is a rookie and together with McGee, the two gathered 30 rebounds against Pau Gasol and with Andrew Bynum playing 41 minutes.

One thing few haters realize is that McGee is a far better rebounder than Nene or Seraphin.

McGee as a Denver Nugget has averaged 18.0 points and 10 rebounds per-36 minutes, on .612 eFG%

His Denver PER is 20.5.


Trust me when I say this: Denver is very, very happy with the trade.
