I think any productive change has to start with firing Karl. Not that there aren't other serious problems on the team, but it is kinda hard to play well without any direction or responsibility.

I'd rather see them play hard 48 minutes, every game. Then the wins will take care of themselves.

I love Eddie Hustle...but in all honesty, he's the big asset the Nuggs have at this point.

He's a glue guy that fits well on any team, and he doesnt' need the ball to be productive. He's a FA after this year, so that makes him more valuable, as well.

I think he needs to move. I hate to see him go, but in the quest for a championship, something needs to happen.

They were talking on TNT the other night saying Denver is a 2 star team (AI and Melo), but most serious contenders are 3 star teams. Ergo, Denver needs to pick up that 3rd star.

I was thinking today that there are a few names that could help us out that would be nice to see out here, who could be either rented for this season or maybe sewn up with some "creative finances."

First of all, Salmons would be a good pickup for Denver, but he's hardly a star. Is there any way of Denver acquiring Monta Ellis from Golden STate? Young'un can play, and he could be that spark they need. Big wing man who can light it up and play defense.

Doubt he's available...but I'd like to see Richard Jefferson in a Nuggets uni. If the Nets collapse, he'd POSSIBLY be available for the right price.

Corey Maggette...this guy would shine in Denver's system. THe defense COULD NOT afford to double him, and he'd be open to nail 3's and drive the lane. Of the three mentioned here, he's probably the most available depsite leading the Clipps in PT's scored this year.

It's obvious that even though Denver still has yet to see their full team on the court, they need to make some change to get their team to the next "power stage" in the NBA. Right now they are dangerous, but not serious contenders. If the Nuggs could pick up any of the above, that move might be enough to seriously put us on the echelon of the SUns, Spurs, and Celtics THIS YEAR.

Will it happen? Maybe. If the Nuggs don't do anything this year, we could very seriously be looking at a one and done plyaoffs again.

Oh yeah, and if Karl goes, I wouldn't miss him. He has no fire in his belly anymore...too many Krispy Kreme's reside in his gullet as it is. I'd like to see us re-hire Jeff Bzdelik to take the helm.

FAce it...the dude can coach!

Of course...Mr. Van Gundy is still available...

god, jvg would be awful. The man has no offense skills whatsoever. and why suggest two small fowards?

They need a tall PG more than anything, but how many of them are there?

AI doesnt like John Salmons. When they were Sixers a game against the Hawks Salmons took the last six shots and the Sixers lost. AI said you got guys on the team taking all the shots like the jordan or something.

i dont want jvg either. salmons has pg skills and he is tall. the fact that AI and Salmons aren't buddies has been stated everytime his name comes up. The front office should talk with AI and see if he is willing to coexist with him. AI has changed since he was in Philly. I think Salmons has changed as well. Maybe they are a better fit now.
I'm open to other ideas, but right now I know Sac would give us Salmons for Najera. So thats the least the nuggets could do opposed to doing nothing.
I highly doubt Monta Ellis is available. Ellis at 6'3 with AI in the backcourt would be at taller wings mercy most nights.
The offical trade I would propose is Eddie Najera for John Salmons and Justin Williams. Williams impressed me with his effort at Wyoming. They were a sub .500 team that he took to his conference title game. Hed have games where he'd pull down 20 rebounds and 10 blocks. Could be a future glue guy for some NBA team. Kings fans love his energy. He got some bad pub for being accused of doing things he didn't do earlier this year. I'd expect they would throw him in.
Ime Udoka isn't getting much time with the Spurs. The Nuggets should at least check and see if they can pick him up.
At one time Kmart would have been considered an all star level talent (one of a big three). Camby to me is one of the big three. Personally I think Salmons and Udoka could make a pretty big difference. I think JR fighting for time will either just really piss him off or motivate him to play defense.
I dont think trading for another "star" and liking getting a crappy contract is going to be good for the nuggets.

The community on the sixers board seemed to get really judgemental and somewhat condescending towards the period after the AI trade. It's all water under the bridge of course, but thats really why I stopped posting over there. I still watch all the sixers games I can find on tv and will continue to try to catch every game I can once I get league pass.

I agree with your point about not needing to trade for another star NBA. It's all about finding the right kind of role player, unfortunatley such players are few and far between.
