Man, Billups AND McDyess? That seems like a risky trade for Detroit. AI isn't really AI anymore.

Also, I wonder how Dice feels about going to Denver for the third time.

― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 3 November 2008 19:10 (fifteen years ago) link
both guy epitomized their respective teams culture now headed to v diff places - im not sure what to make of this - chauncey will be good for denver w/his D steadiness and not needing tons shots - im struggling to imagine how iverson fits in detroit - tho having a dude who can get to the hole will def help their shooters - they didnt really solve their whole three starting quality backcourt players for two jobs problem tho
btw <3 a.i. n billups - sweet dudes all around

poly, dice is not happy and may opt to retire. that is just SAD.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 3 November 2008 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Dice should at least see if the Nuggets flip him elsehwere. I understand that he's like an ultra-sensitive nice dude but he could do a lot of good on a strong playoff team.

yah its def the end of an era when detroits movin chauncey in a straight salary dump - keep in mind dumars assembled that team from scrap tho - he can do it again
― 888 (ice crӕm), Monday, 3 November 2008 19:30 (fifteen years ago) link
I guess AI is in his final year, and next year there are a bunch of awesome free agents out there. Very smart move by Dumars.

btw the year after next is when all the sweet free agents supposedly become available - even tho all of them will prob resign w/their current teams cause it pays so much better

does D’Antoni know that? the Garden is being dismantled in hopes that lebron is coming to resurrect that mess in 2010.
― carne asada, Monday, 3 November 2008 22:28 (fifteen years ago) link
I would rather make less in order to live in a city that isn't Cleveland (for example).
― polyphonic, Monday, 3 November 2008 22:29 (fifteen years ago) link
because teams can sign their own free agents to more money - and because any max deal is based on a raise over what a player was making in his previous contract - if youre a player that has a couple of max contracts left in his career it can add up to a $50m+ difference between playing for yr current team and going to a nicer place
lebron maybe will goto new york cause he can supposedly bridge that gap w/increased endorsements - but it unlikely lebron et al ever go to detroit
aaand any team unless they draft perfectly and manage to sign a few good players for way under market value will have to basically be in rebuilding mode to afford any of these max contract type guys - who wants to go to a rebuilding team - thats the catch 22 w/clearing cap space

i think they realized they've been lapped by the cavs and the celts and maybe even orlando at this point so why not try to shake things up with a maverick move. i could see this really igniting them.

Carmelo Honors Woodrow Wilson
November 6, 2008 10:06 AM
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz
Carmelo Anthony wanted to honor President-Elect Barack Obama during last night's game against Golden State:
At the Nuggets' shootaround, there was a post-election buzz. Carmelo Anthony smiled and said, "I'm going to try to score 44 tonight," in honor of president-elect Barack Obama, who was elected Tuesday as America's 44th president.
Noble intention, to be sure. And an auspicious matchup if you want to go for 44 -- Golden State ranks 8th in pace.
Unfortnuately, Anthony finished with only 28 points on 13-30 shooting from the field. In doing so, Anthony pays homage to the nation's 28th President, Woodrow Wilson (D-NJ).

They could easily make the conference finals without him, and a healthier KG is really their only shot against Bron Bron imo. If he's hurt, I think they'll still have a good shot next year.

I think that your basic premise that a healthy Warriors team is a marginally winning team was correct, though. But living in the Bay area and listening to people talk about the situation with the front office / Nelly / the players, I thought it would fall apart even more than it did, and I was impressed how well they played at times without their better players.
