Carmelo Anthony married LALA Vasquez who wanted to live on the east coast. Carmelo wanting to make his wife happy decided he would play for the Knicks. It had nothing to do with boyhood dreams, otherwise he would signed the shorter contract like LeBron did after his rookie contract was due to expire. He also said he wanted to play for a Contender, he got to the Western Conference Finals in Denver and that isn't a being a Contender? No, instead we got "Melo drama" a high stakes game that the Denver Nuggets management pushed until near the deadline to get the most they could. They did get the most they could at a high price.
They lost a quality player in Chauncey Billups who playing here was his dream and now he has been burned twice by this organization. The Nuggets have burned Marcus Camby, Antonio McDyess, and now Chauncey Billups in the name of "business" we will go into more detail in another post. Denver has bad reputation for not hanging on to players. Nuggets also lost Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter, and Renandlo Blackman in this trade.
In return we got quality players, cash and some draft picks. The players are Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Timofey Mozgov and Kosta Koufos. Gallinari, Felton and Chandler can all play the others we have not seen yet as of this post. I thinking the overrated Birdman can give up some minutes to check out Mozgov he was a starter in NY.
The Nuggets lost a tough one to Portland in Portland. I think this team can be very good without a superstar. Although i'm thinking Gallinari is maybe one real soon. The knock on him is he don't play Defense. I haven't seen it with the Nuggets he has put some effort into "d" and has blocks rebounds to prove it.
Denver Nuggets fans look no further. Read from a fan to the fans.
