Ruin everything with crazy judgement???...Dogg this isn't a championship team our defense is too bad...the way its lookin now...we r heading foranother 1st round exit the west is just too good...So what exactly would be ruining??...its eitherOriginally Posted by DMV is RNB
^Can you read?
I said that playing in a system with AI and Melo dominating the ball would reduce Artest to essentially being a spot up shooter. They have the ball 90 percent of the game. Meaning he would essentially play a Bruce Bowen role in the sense that he would be a lock down perimeter defender and he would get whatever left over open shots are left. And if we're talking about being an efficient scorer/shooter... that is not what we would get Artest for anyway. Kleiza fits that role better than he could for our team. I personally want Artest because of defense. He has that intangible that could really help us. I'm a fan of Ron Artest... I have been for a long time.
But based on all of the reports I have read (because you know... people tend to base their opinions on articles and information that they read. I wasn't aware he had to be my best friend for me to repeat what the insiders have been saying for weeks now)... he's not interested in playing that kind of role. He wants to be the star, and according to his agent, "He wants that role and he wants to be paid accurately for that role as well." I mean if it came down to it and a trade came close and Ron came out and said that being the defensive stopper is the role he wants to play and he's cool with AI and Melo being the top options then hell, go for it. He could help the team a lot. But I just don't think we're that far off with what we already have... to need to possibly ruin everything with a crazy judgement.
And plus... you're a little too trigger happy anyway. You're the one who wanted to trade Marcus %%$+$*+ Camby away for Jason Kidd. If you were our GM we would have a starting 5 of Kidd, AI, Melo, K-Mart, and (doesn't matter cause they would get ate UP). But I guess you didn't know Nene was gonna get cancer tho back then right? See... that's why ridiculous judgements can't be made at a whim
1) stick to being bounced out the first round
2) or try to make a move thats going to push into the elite teams
I don't understand why you think Artest will be just a stop up shooter??...LK isn't just a spot up shooter on offense...he isn't like Battier orBowen where 80% of their shots are 3's....so why do you think Artest would be like that?? Artest could do everything for this team that LK does plus be alockdown defender...You have a legit argument about Artest wanting to leave the Nuggets after the season for his "14 mil contract
and say what you want about my Camby trade scenario but to me a lineup of
Kidd
Iverson
Melo
Martin
Nene
would've been better than
Carter
Iverson
Melo
Martin
Camby
obviously Nene health changes my thinking on that
Its watever tho....I'm arguing with someone who thinks we "not that far off"... when the last time i checked when are barely making theplayoffs...and yall are trippin if you think the Nuggets are going to magically put it together in the 2nd half and become an elite west team....We better praythat we win the nw division (which i dont think we will) cuz we r looking at another 1st round exit...I guess i'm just not as optimistic as you r...i meani want the nuggets to go far just as much as yall and it may seem like i'm doin a lil hatin...but i just call it how i see it
