the nugz aren't going to get duncan. however, they are going to be able to get some great players and turnaround their team.

say:

arenas
maggette
skita (white and harvey)
darko (or bosh) for example
nene

with good players off the bench.

i like that team. great offensive and defensive potential. this could also be a championship team down the road if things go (really) well.

This thread is useless. The Nuggets do not have enough cap room to sign both Duncan and Kidd.

They have almost $20,000,000 committed for the next season, Duncan will make near $13,000,000, Kidd about $12,000,000 and the first round pick about $3,000,000. So the Nuggets will need the salary cup to go up to $48,000,000 wich is impossible considering that it has been said lately that the salary cup won't go up and that it could even go down (now is slightly more than $40,000,000).

So stop dreaming.

If you are Tim Duncan, you are offered the same money
And one team is a play off contender, and one is near last in the league. Which one would you choose?

The only chance that Duncan would be going to the Nuggets is Duncan and Kidd reach a secret agreement and that they are both signing with the Nuggets

Remember McDyess in 98?

I would say that the probability for Denver to win a championship next season is extremely low, but I would not discard a turn around season. Remember the 89-90 Spurs and how they performed compared to the previous season? The explenation was simple: D Robison, S Elliot and T Cummings.

But talent is not everything. As Carayip cleverly mentioned in his post, you need chemistry, a good coaching job and a few other factors that are rarely achieved in the first year of a "to-be-a-contender" team.

Let's first wait and see what the front office does in the off season.

Hey, it's not as absurd as it sounds.

The Nuggets will have a ton of cap space after this season, more than several franchises combined. If they were to win the lottery, LeBron James(and a lot of cash) just might be the bait needed to lure big name free agents like Jason Kidd and Tim Duncan to Denver, who they could easily offer more than just about any other team.

Can you imagine a lineup with Kidd at the point, Lebron at the 2 or 3 and Duncan in the middle? Throw in super prospects like Nene Hilario and "Skita"(I won't attempt to spell his last name), with promising young players like Lorinzo Harrington, Vincent Yarbrough, Rodney White and Donnell Harvey(all of whom have played well in limited minutes) coming off the bench and you've got a dynasty. They can do what they please with Howard, Camby and Shammond Williams, maybe use the money to sign a big name coach.

Sounds like youve been doing to much puffing not enough passing. Just joking with you but your plan is a little out there

The OUTLAW · 03-26-2003, 07:15 AM

What you are talking about it players being put together and not a team. Players while talented do not win championships, teams win championships.

I've never heard of a team put together with 3-4 new main components that has been able to put it together in one season and win a championship. They have to play together for some time before they even know how each other play.

1. You need to get James. 25% chance.

2. You need James lives up to his potential. I give it 60% (maybe higher when he gets a game in the NBA).

3. You need Hilario's potential pan out. 60%.

4. You need Tskitishvili's potential pan out. 25% (he hasn't shown a thing yet).

5. You need Duncan to go there. I give it 10% (can't give higher especially considering Spurs may win the championship this year, why the man of the champions want to leave?).

6. You need Kidd to go there. I give it 75% if Duncan's already there.

7. You need the whole thing to work out. The starting 5 looks good (if all live up to potential) but winning ring is never easy, many things factor into it, e.g. chemistry (there may be ego problem), coaching (looks okay but not a proven championship coach), bench depth (which seems non-existant), experience (3 of starters have no playoffs experience and 1 of them is a rookie) etc etc. I give it 50%.

Concluson: the odds of Nugguts becoming 2004 champs = 0.084%.

that is the most absurd and messde up logic i have ever seen. im glad you are laughing cuz its a joke!

*sigh*

Some of you really need to relax. Being a tightass has to lose it's interest sometime.
