OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies etc…Part VII

[Bonzai12]

I already saw the Lakers media lathering it all on saying everyone is so ‘inspired’ by LeBrons conditioning and that he will have a dramatic effect on Luka.

I can’t wait for this shit show to begin. I hope it absolutely explodes and Luka leaves at the end of the year.

Fox to the Spurs to play with Wemby. Lavine reunited with DeRozen in Sacramento.

Then I look at our roster, and the lack of assets we have to trade, and it makes me want to choke Calvin Booth. You really thought that three rookies, Zeke Naji, and a completely washed Dario Saric was going to help us become a dynasty? You really think signing players that are always hurt, and only look good when Jokic is on the floor, to max contracts is a good move? MPJ completely disappearing in series while being on a max deal and you don't move on from him? The Wolves weren't even covering him at the end of that series last year because of how trash he was... Seriously f***, Calvin Booth!

We have a truly generational player that is putting up numbers that only Wilt Chamberlain was getting while playing against average Joes, and we have no idea how to build around him. We won a ring, thank god, but let's be honest, the West wasn't as good that year as it is now, and the Heat weren't exactly a tough opponent in the Finals, especially missing Tyler Herro.

 

[Bonzai12]

Sac got more for Fox than the Mavs got for Luka. Insane.

Totally get where you were going with the praying mantis meaning Dallas couldn’t get a better deal elsewhere. This is why I’m not sold on that idea. Even if Dallas was set on him being the centrepiece (fair enough although relying on his health is an issue) opening this up to more teams puts pressure on LA to add more secondary pieces so at least you get a better deal out of them

 

[JWK]

ITS ZEKE NNAJI TIME, GET EXCITED

 

[famicommander]

save us Vlatko

 

[Hasbro]

i think I’m not as high on Luka as everyone else. The guy can never stay in shape. What’s he going to look like when he’s 30? His body is already busting down because he can’t stop eating.

I do think it’s hilarious though that LeBron is going to have to play with a white dude that’s equally as good as him at this point. That’s the best part of the trade for me. - “ok bron you’re gonna dribble around the defense until there’s 3 seconds left and then pass it to the white fat kid who’s going to try to nail down the winning shot for us. Ready? Go!”

Maybe Jokic can show him how to make the dad bod work.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Maybe Jokic can show him how to make the dad bod work.

Think he can help Seth Jones out with that as well, when he gets here?

 

[Bonzai12]

Zeke starting tonight. Guess they are trying hard to get him outta here.

 

[JWK]

All I'm seeing is Nnaji mirroring Zion's minutes and shutting him down.

 

[katfude]

MPJ having a good game against a depleted pels is just so expected. Now he can go cold for 3 games and feel good about himself.

 

[The Merchant]

 

[famicommander]

Zeke starting tonight. Guess they are trying hard to get him outta here.

There was nobody else to start even if they wanted to. Vlatko, Watson, and Gordon are all down. Unless you wanted to see Hunter Tyson starting on Zion, it had to be Zeke regardless.

 

[Pokecheque]

Geez, Zion’s still playing?

 

[famicommander]

Geez, Zion’s still playing?

Occasionally.

Less than Luka but more than Embiid.

 

[Bonzai12]

Unless you wanted to see Hunter Tyson starting on Zion, it had to be Zeke regardless.

Turned on the game and was wondering - who is this white kid?

Good game last night but holy hell I didn’t recognize half the players on the floor at any given time.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Zeke starting tonight. Guess they are trying hard to get him outta here.

And I can't believe I'm saying this but he played well

 

[famicommander]

Nugs bench unit tonight is a war crime:
Julian Strawther
Zeke Nnaji
Jalen Pickett
DeAndre Jordan
Dario Saric
Hunter Tyson
PJ Hall
Trey Alexander
Spencer Jones

Without Westbrook, Watson, and Cancar we are as shallow as we could possibly be

 

[BobRossColton]

Are the nuggets going to make a trade or are they content?

 

[JWK]

Are the nuggets going to make a trade or are they content?

Probably trying to cut salary to get under 1st apron, then go look for bench help in the buyout bin.

The f*** got into MPJ?

 

[famicommander]

Are the nuggets going to make a trade or are they content?

We're all hoping for a trade but they already said they aren't trading Porter, they literally can't trade Murray or Gordon, and obviously they'd never trade Joker.

So the only guys we really have that could return a useful player are Braun and Watson, and we really don't want to give up either of them.

We screwed ourselves committing too many years to Nnaji, Pickett, and Tyson. And attaching 3 picks to dump Reggie Jackson's expiring contract.

The f*** got into MPJ?

He found out his name is circulating on the trade rumors and he's playing to not get traded. He'll be back to his usual overpaid self after tomorrow.

 

[Bonzai12]

Saric didn’t even get in tonight? Wow

 

[AvsWraith]

He found out his name is circulating on the trade rumors and he's playing to not get traded. He'll be back to his usual overpaid self after tomorrow.

And it was against the Pelicans. As soon as we play a good team again, he'll disappear.

I seriously did not recognize a few of those guys on the floor after they pulled the starters. Hall reminds me of Nuggets legend Mark Alarie.
