Agreed. However, I think the roster is full @ 15 including dre.

Miller's never been a problem?? He has a sh*tty attitude and has always bitched about playing time. The one time he gets benched for younger players and he decides to go **** towards the coach in front of the whole team?
If you're pissed off, you wait till you're in private and let the coach know. You don't act like a little b*tch and have a tantrum in front of all the young impressionable players on your team. You're the veteran of the team, act like it. Good f*cking riddance. They'd better not bring him back.

Yep, It's too bad the roster is full, remember Erick Green? I wonder how he's been playing in Europe. Now would be a good time to see if he's any good.

Nate Robinson may actually have torn his ACL now.

I really hope we do not bring Dre back, don't want to see him in a Nuggets uni again. It sucks, but if it opens up more minutes for Fournier and Quincy then it can be a good thing.

Had ACL surgery today according to Dempsey. He's done for the year too. What a **** season.

Whenever I hear sprained knee I think ACL. The fact that Nate had surgery today leads me to believe it wasn't a full ACL tear but it was enough to require surgery and put him out for the year.

Damn, certainly isn't our year, if only we had our own pick.

Looks like we will have our pick and be trading the Knicks pick to ORL

It's hard seeing the Nuggets doing anything relevant this year. I'm tired of the FO looking to see what this team has, like Gallinari is going to comeback and be our superstar and make us a contender.

I think it's time to start looking at trading some big pieces that will fit what Shaw is trying to build. I think Faried needs to go and we do whatever we can to get an extra 1st round pick in this draft.

Also go after John Henson, who will probably be shopped around during the deadline.

What do you think we would have to give up in order to get Henson?

Some thoughts:

Freaking Broncos.

Nate Rob's ACL injury makes Tim Connelly's signings 0 from 3 as a success rate for me. While Foye has been playing okay as of late, I just realized that his deal was 3 years (I thought it was 2), I would not be giving a 30 year old very average player a long term contract.

RRFB · Post #275 » by **RRFB** » Mon Feb 3, 2014 5:38 pm

I don't think you can fault Connelly for Nate's ACL. Up until this point, I think he's been a good signing. He's probably single-handedly won us at least 2 or 3 games. And the fact that he has a player option for next year almost guarantees he'll be back.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Foye's 3rd year is a team option. I still don't think we'd have too tough of a time trading him, but that certainly doesn't hurt.

Powder Blue · Post #276 » by **Powder Blue** » Mon Feb 3, 2014 8:28 pm

Freaking Broncos is right....

Na, TC can't be blamed for an ACL injury Nate suffered 6 months after he signed the guy. He can be blamed for Not moving Dre yet, I'm tellin ya the peanuts will be the same if/when he's moved

http://www.storytellerscontracts.info/resources/Denver.htm Say's Foye's deal is listed as 3 years all guaranteed RRFB.

I could pull up several links that show the 3rd year being guaranteed but it's not a big deal....

What's with the constant lack of execution at the end of games? JJ has held the ball too long on a couple of occasions. I don't know what you all see in him.... :wink:

If your talking about the final play of the game, with JJ holding it too long, the first option was to chandler under the basket, but JJ didn't make the pass cause he didn't want to risk it,

I'm not going to say Chandler was wide open but the chances that he gets the ball and makes a 5 footer are much higher than Foye hitting that deep 3....I'm certainly glad he hit the 3 though.
