Nuggets short-handed?
 

Just wondering, with K-Mart, Wilson Chandler, and JR Smith, three core players of their team, leaving for China with no NBA-out clause, who will the team get to fill the holes if the season is still on?

Wilson Chandler got traded to the Knicks...

And K-Mart/Smith are pretty much worthless to the team IMO.

:cookie:

no he didn't

the chinese teams will let them out of their contracts..... they don't deal with unhappy players. It's all about selling tickets in the interim.

true... for some reason I thought he got traded to the knicks:BlahBlah:

let em stay in china, the nuggets bust get a high pick. then the year after watch them return to playoff contention

Kenneth Faried is gonna be one tired camper by the end of the season

JR Smith is a free agent (not likely bak)
Wilson Chandler (Free agent, aparently wants to be a knick again)
K-Mart (sucks balls at this point)


To say they're gonna be shorthanded when at least 2 of those 3 were not likely to be back anyyway is jumping the gun. I'm going to assume the Nuggets have a plan in place.

so jeff are you thinking a little conspiracy theory possibly that the chandler back to the knicks was discussed beforehand? (to the trade)

There was a rumour a month ago that Chandler, who is a FA wanted to sign with the Knicks.

interesting. I was asking tho if you think maybe that was discussed before the melo trade? not neccesarily that chandler had a choice in the matter but maybe just that the knicks told him "don't worry, you'll be back." He was well liked there wasn't he.

I really liked the knicks before they got melo. Nice to watch, young players, team-ball. Don't dislike melo but out of all the star players in the NBA i feel he adds the least to his team.

i wouldn't doubt it, i believe that happens all the time. not sure what the knicks can afford though, and they need a Center before a SF.

Lol Yeah no need for a starting SF to come back to replace a superstar SF. Wilson can also play the PF spot though....but guess who plays there too?? :cookie:

Chauncey can handle the PG spot for a bit, Fields might not be enough for SG, and Turiaf :cookie:

wilson as 6th man?

I tear shit up on 2k11 with Chandler...loved him on the Knicks

yes mate, same here. Pre melo trade i had a great association go where my big move was to get in monta instead of anthony and I kept hold of wilson. Nice team. Plan was to make a big move for Paul in 2nd season but my raps go is hogging all my time so haven't got there yet.

Wilson is good enough to be a starting SF in this league. Just not even close to Melo's level. Maybe Raps?


And yes I loved the Knicks pre-trade, I really like Amare as the main option. Liked his leadership, swag etc. Exciting to watch, but never really serious contenders.
