Just curious Nate how is the Melo situation going down in Denver? What is the general feeling from Nugs fans?
Aren't they furuious with him?

Yes, but Denver fans are fickle. We moved from Jake Plummer, to Cutler, to Orton, to Tebow. Denver fans loved every one of them while they were here and hated them when they left. So basically they are like Jazzfanz.

I'm with YB and others who are predicting some kind of disciplinary action. The anxiety-ridden side of me fears that the epicenter of this problem is Deron, and that today will officially mark the beginning of the "trade-me days" of DWill in Utah.

Less bad would be a fight between KOC and Sloan due to news that the Jazz were about to execute a salary-cutting trade that Sloan knows will leave us even less competitive. This might also explain AK's exiting out of the coaches' locker room.

A trade of some kind does provide some explanation for the cancellation of practice.

Perhaps any kind of "shake up" is better than nothing. Those who watch the games can see that without some kind of change this team will go .500 or thereabouts for the remainder of the season.

This looks like a player disciplinary (suspension) action to me. I don't think KOC could fire Sloan and I don't think Sloan would have a heated meeting with KOC to tell him that he's retiring. No, this is "I told that sonofabitch to run this play and instead he broke it off, again. Either him or me!"

Agree, this is mirroring the Arroyo incident.

You don't can a guy who has coached for 23 years. You pressure him privately to resign due to health reasons.

Does anybody know why Raja missed practice on tuesday. Tweet was 'personal reasons'.

If a trade is going down, then it is a bit shocking that there is nothing happening in the rumor mill.

Not necessarily. While Korver was a name that was mentioned by Jazzfanz on numerous occasions, I never read anything in the external rumor mongering that he was a Jazz target until the day of the trade. Jefferson's name only came up on the day of the deal.

I just ****ing read all 12 pages....and nothing? What the ****.

Is there video of Sloan's postgame press conference? They used to have the postgames on nba.com -- but no more, it seems to me.

 

[Fishsticks]

Yep. I have a feeling everyone will be dispointed in whatever (nothing) comes out of this.
