Don't forget about next year too. Denver will have AI, Melo, JR Smith, Camby, K-Mart and Nene, hopefully all healhy.
Should be fun. Nuggets tickets will now be incredibly hard to get though. ;(

ok, 5150 and infrared, both of you ARE F****** IDIOTS. more to you tho 5150. i cant beleive you just said all that bullshit about him, you obviously dont know shit about him or his play or u wouldnt have said any of that nonsense
he has no work ethic- how can you say some shit like that when he has establshed himself as one of the greatest players to ever play the game!!!? he is 6ft, and 165lbs for christ sake!! you think someone that size could have no work ethic and be that damn good??? no fing way, dumbass
he'd /listening to 50 be just as happy slangin- :lol2: thats funny..to put it simply, thats just an immature and complete douche-bag remark from a stupid ass person
he whines- ummm no, i like how you pulled that right out of your ass. actually, im not that surprised because it sounds like nothing but shit comes out of you mouth
ball hog- oooo yea hes a real ball hog, to have an all time assist average of 8 assists a game??? and averaging 31 and 8 currently
he cant shoot that well- no comment, except for th fact that he has stroke
plain and simple, 5150 you are a complete fucking idiot, and you ahve no sense of wat your talking about, period
NEWAY i had to bash that dumb kid just for the fact hes an idiot, plain and simple
but looks like my man AI is goin to DENVER! im happy for him kind of, but idk how well hell do with AI and carmello on the same team. someone is going to suffer with two powerhouse scorers on the same team, and i think its gonna be my man because carmello's already established himself there. but well see how it goes, considering the fact ai will be the pG and hell have the ball in his hands
nonetheless its about time he hooked up with a team
AND BTW, the only reason y ai wasent being traded faster was because its hard for alot of teams out there to compensate their good players for ai, because ai is just so damn filthy with the rock. any team he would go to would have to give up some essential players, and considering the fact ai is a ten year veteran he deoesnt have a whole lot of time left in the league so there wernt so many temas willing to risk assuming young talent. i think that made sense, if not majority of u understand wat i mean, and i think you all agree someone had to put 5150 in his place because his reply was just way over the line, and completely nieve.
haha ne way peace peoples GOOD LUCK TO MY MAN AI!!!!!!!!

i'm pretty happy that the 76ers did this deal. It may turn out that the 2 picks amount to nothing, and andre miller does shit, but i'd rather see them in the toilet for a few years building up cap space and draft picks rather than continue to be a mediocre at best team for year after year with A.I. They were never going to win anything with A.I. Anyone could see that. He was fun to watch, but it was time to look to the future.

i think it was a terrible move for the 6er's, brillant move for the Nuggets..
even with A.I the 6er's were on pace to receive a 1st or 2nd pick in the lottery.. and with this being a very solid draft class.. i dont see how they could go wrong.. draft a big man with their first pick.. however its hard to keep a player who doesnt want to be there
remember when they were pretty much forced to trade sir charles barkley to the suns?

yes, but that eventuaslly led to them getting A.I. in the first place because they were bad enough to draft high. This deal ensures that the next two years at least they'll get another shot to get some good young talent. Thats what they need, not to be drafting 17th every year and just missing the 8th seed. It's a cycle some teams get stuck in like Boston, Milwaukee, Minnesota...ect. i'd rather take the Orlando route and totally rebuild.

yes, the Bulls did a good job rebuilding. Took about 8 years though.

i like AI but lets be real, and look beyond the numbers
He cant play without the ball
He Needs at least 6-10 seconds of the shot clock to score, so if hes on your team theres going to be no ball movement
He clashes with coaches and players constantly
He gets paid about 50 billion dollars a year and fucks up your salary cap
The way i look at it, if he takes about 10 less shots a game then they'll be cool. But if they dont, no one on that team is going to be happy no matter what they're telling the press right now. You dont just add stars to a team in basketball and they instantly win.....it doesnt work that way

i don't know how they possibly think A.I. will get along with George Karl who is notoriously tough on players when A.I. couldn't even get along with Mo Cheeks who is like a teddy bear.

I'm surprised Philly didn't get J.R. Smith as part of the trade. I don't think Philly got the best of the trade. Should have gotten better players instead of rushing into the trade talks and unloading Iverson. The 2 first round draft picks (anywhere from 20-30) are not even high picks. I hope AI comes back and makes Philly look like they got robbed. Kind of like when Philly traded Wilt Chamberlin for 3 unknowns back in the day.

All those years we spent developing Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, just to give them away to other teams...That really hurt us, I think.
But you cant argue w/ the decision at the time. Sure, Eddie is playing great for the knicks, and Tyson looks his normal self, we got Tyrus Thomas already, and we have the Knicks draft pick this year too, so I'd call it fair...
