I like adding Atkins. He's a proven point guard with solid all around skills. Plus, he can hit the three consistently.

Camby will be staying in Denver unless something superb comes along for him. Kronke has said that he will pay the luxury tax if it means winning now. Getting rid of Camby would mean a downgrade at center and saving payroll. If Kroenke is telling teh truth, Camby will stay here unless we can get some great deal for him, which I doubt we will.

If he becomes D player of the year again, I'd expect a big trade in the offseason.

yah he wanted Blake but 6 mil a year would of been stupid.

And honestly I like this move, I like Atkins better then Blake and with this signing from what I heard will be around 3 mil which will still give us the opportunity to go sign another back up someone like Eddie Jones maybe.

I absolutely hate this signing. pairing Atkins and Iverson together is a defensive disaster.

but pairing Blake would of been better? Its not like Blake was a defensive stud. I understand Atkins isnt a defensive player but what else out there could we of got that would be better. When I said I liked this signing, it was based on what was out there and what we could of got. I didnt see a better option out there if I was missing someone that was available then maybe. But Atkins and the possibility of another signing over just Blake, yah id take that anyday.

Yes, blake was much better defensively. I was actually shocked with how good he was. Besides, he's also 6'3, so he can at least get in somebody's face. This means that we'll have somebody 6'0 or under guarding SG's at least 20 mpg.

this is official, btw.

I like Chucky for Denver. Off the bench however. He is just absolutely horrible at playing defense, but be can create some, and drain the 3. He shouldn't be starting next to A.I. Denver still needs a defensive wing. James Posey would be very good. How about Devin Brown? He's a bigger guy, and a decent defender.
