Can Nuggets fans move past Igoudala? 

Post#1 » by NuggetsWY » Sun Jun 10, 2018 4:19 am

Yet another Nuggets sycophant has written an article bemoaning Igoudala's departure from the Nuggets. Do Nuggets fans really believe that if he had stayed, the Nuggets would have won ten championships in a row? He just isn't that good. He's a great fit for the Warriors as a bench player that might provide some offense and can provide some good defense. The Nuggets team he left was not ready to be a serious contender. Would we have been better if he had stayed? Perhaps, but he certainly wasn't a superstar and would not have carried us much further into the playoffs than we were going to go anyway. He'd probably have been good for one or two extra playoff wins.

But that's just my opinion and I've been wrong before.

He played just one single season in Denver, and he played on the same high-level just one and half season more, before dropping that level because aged badly. He leaves Nuggets on the ugly way, but we must confess now that he made very smart decision for himself.

Hypothetically speaking, he would fit very well to Nuggets despite he is not so a good player like he is used to be before 32nd birthday (he is 34 now). But that is because he is SF and he is an elite defenseman. In most of the other teams, his value would be much under his current 50/3 contract.

It’s the way he left. Praying with and giving gameplan info to the team you’re playing in the playoffs and then going and signing there after giving your input on draft strategy a week earlier. He can f.... all the way off

Iggy is a piece of crap, but it is not the fans that are pushing the story still. I hate to be the one to tell you guys but, it is our front office that needs to move past it. He represents the last time the Nuggets truly made a high risk move, and that was now 6 years ago. Since that time we have been rumored to go after some big names, but never pull the trigger with the excuse that the star didn't want to come here, and at the same time the front office has bent over backwards to help players and kiss ass even when they were leaving. Everybody talks about slow and steady rebuild, what they should be talking about is low risk and hope we develop everybody correctly for the big reward at some point down the road.

Guessing Nuggets fans aren't over their anger - which blinds intellectual understanding.

Forgiving and forgetting are two separate issues, the intellectual and the emotional. Usually two distinctly different parts to every issue.

He is good, team player, not 1 or 2 option. You can't win with him being that, but you can win if club and him agree on finding the best role for him. He is definitely passable player but a good asset for championship team. And also he doesn't fit well in every system out there.

Once again, what does it matter if Nuggets fans are over it? The beauty of being a fan is that we are allowed to be irrational, in a weird way it is what being a fanatic is all about. FAns are not the issue when it comes to Igoudala, especially when this team has done nothing to erase the crap from 2013.

In reality fans hold onto their hate for Igoudala because it is better than placing the blame where it really should be going. Igoudala pulling the crap he did was a big issue, but the fact is that was the last year before mediocrity became acceptable. Whether anybody wants to accept it or not, that is when the Kroenke's decided that being a 9th seed was acceptable, they fired the COY, they allowed our GM to back out of an agreement to take a higher paying job, and they stopped holding players responsible for their actions kissing their ass and refusing to trade them when they needed traded. The blame falls directly to Josh and Stan Kroenke, but no fan wants to blame the owner of the franchise so their anger falls to Igoudala.
