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.

who in their right mind would want to play in hell-hole denver?

in all seriousness though your plan is VERY FAR FETCHED... first you need to get the #1 pick, then you need to lure Duncan away from the Spurs and Kidd away from the Nets..... come on now... you should be happy if you get the #1 pick but hoping to get Kidd or Duncan ALSO is going to be VERY VERY tough... getting both + James is near impossible

But if Tim did go to Denver (I'm trying not to laugh) then hopefully the Spurs can somehow sign Kobe, Ben Wallace, McGrady, then build a time machine and bring back and sign Wilt, Air Jordan, Bird, Gervin, Russell, David Robinson.... etc.

Because that will happen before Denver gets Lebron, Kidd and Duncan this offseason.

I never said it wasn't far fetched. It's definitely far fetched. However, it's not as ridiculous as you probably think, and it's certainly not impossible. Orlando got both Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady, two of the top free agents in one off season. Ducan would obviously be a tough sell, since the Spurs seem to really want him back, but Kidd's future isn't as clearcut. If Denver does land LeBron, and does get Kidd(and that scenario is quite possible), you'd have to think Duncan would at least consider going to the Nuggets.

Who would want to play in Denver? That's a silly question. Who would want to play in Minnesota? Or New Jersey? Sacremento's in California, but it's still more farmland than anything else.

Location means nothing. If such was the case, New York, L.A and Miami would have the best teams every year. What matters is the money, and the chance to win. If Denver wins the lottery(and they have a good chance of doing so), they instantly go from bottom barrell to promising.

Wildcats

Additionally, this isn't my "plan", just an interesting suggestion. I don't see why you think it's so funny. What could stop them? They can match any deal any other team makes, and they're in position to have a good shot at the first overall pick.

Perhaps before mocking me you should think about this.

Wildcats

Clearly you've allowed your loyalty to the Spurs to blind you.

HAWK23

what you need to remember when ORL got Hill and Mcgrady is that McGrady was NOT a prime time player at that point. McGrady + Hill is not/ would not be as crazy as the type of players your considering Duncan / Kidd.

With that said there are a few pluses to playing FOR Denver.... some players like small market teams in a small town JUST LIKE Tim Duncan. Tracy McGrady also said he liked Orlando because it was a small market place (not like NY or CHI).

He wasn't a prime time player, but he was looking for prime time money.

Think about the two individuals I suggested. Duncan and Kidd. Two guys who you know could easily coexist, as neither require 30 shots a game. Denver is also closer to(though not really "near") Kidd's hometown of Oakland than New Jersey is. Current Nuggets GM, Kiki Vandeweghe, is good friends with Kidd, as he was with the Phoenix Suns front office back when Kidd was a with them.

Kinda out of topic here, but Rodney White putting up a triple double last game is really impressive, and if the Nuggets are going to make a champion run, he could be the key.

Tactics

I highly doubt they will even make the playoffs next year

No, I use common sense.

You actually believe Tim would go to Denver when San Antonio could offer him the most money?!

His wife and him LOVE it in SA. They just recently built a 5 million dollar house in Northwest SA.

Did I mention he'd get MORE MONEY in SA where he's already a contender with a core group of young players.

Oh yeah, SA also has money to spend this offseason.

And finally, Cavs are most likely to get the first pick.

But hey, keep dreaming.

HAWK23

I dont think SA can offer more money can they?? SA and DEN can both offer the max...

but being realistic.

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
