I get ya but I have to use buckner as an example. Based on that he started and got minutes with denver I say you would have had to consider him one of your top five guys by default like it or not. If say Jones comes in starts and plays big minutes.... it just further will illustrate the problems with denver's backcourt.
This is were the elson situation is different than the jones. They save Robert Horry for games that actually matter later on. In the playoffs we are going to be looking at Duncan, Horry, Bowen, M. Ginobili, and Parker when it counts
Or Stoudmire, Diaw, Marion, Bell, Nash. Now Camby, Nene, Melo, Jones, AI. or Camby Nene, Melo, AI, Atkins.
Its going to be the same story. The only way we get out of the first round is to win enough games not to go up against the top tier of the west. And if that happens (with Melo all year i probably can) we are likely screwed in the 2nd round.
You all proclaim your love for Najera, but moving him might be the key to contending in the west.
