Nene wants out of Denver

[bluechox2]

knicks fans, would you throw the 5 mil exception at nene if he wants to come over?

Blow it up and tank. Don't sign anything but fillers this year. Get rid of Harrington and Birdman. Get rid of 'Dre for whatever. Only sign AA if it's a perfect deal. If a team tries to overpay him let him walk.

Lawson
Hamilton
Gallo
Faried
Mosgov

Throw out guy's like Kofus, Forbes and whatever other minimum guy's you sign in there. Draft in the top 8. Hope you pick up a good player and move forward with your Lawson|Gallo|Top pick core surrounded by younger guy's like Hamilton|Faried|Mosgov while maintaining your mass amount of cap space when the time comes to keep your current guy's or exchange them for whatever better out there come FA time down the line.

Of course you could completely miss on the draft and set the franchise back. Or Lawson and co could lead them out of the high lottery range. Always the chance Denver tries to re-sign everybody and goes out in FA picking up players and tries to compete this year. Witch would suck.

I'm pretty sure we have to have at least a 50mill payroll

And amnesting Harrington wouldn't make any sense unless we need the cap space, Stan has to pay him either way

I would go for:
- Roy, Crawford or JRich this summer, or wait for next summer (A lot of good SG/SF's) if the right deal doesn't happen
- Try to get a quality big man. Either by keeping Nene, signing a FA like Gasol or West, or use either Nene or cap space to trade for one like Kaman, Jefferson, Scola or someone.
- Get a quality bench big. I like Landy and Diaw in this years FA class, but we can stick with Al one more season if Landry or Diaw doesn't happen as next years class is much deeper at that position with guys like Thompson, Hickson, Arthur, Ilyasova

Lets say something like this happens:

Lawson - Miller/Billups
Afflalo - Crawford/Roy
Gallo - Afflalo
Faried - Landy/Thompson
Nene/Kaman - Mozgov

+ Bird and JHam.

4 years and 50+ million? Wow, don't know about that...

[Gory Lobotomist]

Nene could go on most teams and be successful. I would like to see him join up with the Nets or Clippers. The dude is so versatile its insane.

[Blue&Orange]

Lawson - Miller/Billups
Afflalo - Crawford/Roy
Gallo - Afflalo
Faried - Landy/Thompson
Nene/Kaman - Mozgov

+ Bird and JHam.

What's Billups doing there?

[Kiarip]

Nuggets gonna be garbage in the upcoming season either way unfortunately
