The Nuggets outcome of the D12 trade.........

[Duck Rodgers]

- Aaron Afflalo
- draft pick

+ AI2


Better? Wash? It doesn't seem that clear cut to me. I mean obviously, I'll take the Dream Teamer every time, but just as pieces fitting into the whole Nuggets team? I don't know. They could be a gritty squad with some skill, but less potent on offense now.

I see them at around the 6th seed this year, possibly higher. Only S.A., the LA Dream Team and OKC are clearly better.

The nuggets always underachieve when they look good on paper. I don't believe they will finish higher than us.

I don't either. I am quite hopeful of a 4th-5th seed for Utah. Then Memphis, Clips, Denver and Dallas/Minny mixed in.

I think Kosta Koufus is in line for some serious minutes this year in Denver. That can only help the jazz, right?

 

[Ben10]

This is a team that AI well fit with. With Lawson at the point pushing the ball and AI running the wing I see them putting a lot of points on the board. Iggy is also a good defender so he well slide into Afflalo's spot on the defensive end without a problem. Not that the Nuggs have played much defense in the past anyway. They do have a pretty thin front line now.

I think they, at best, stay around the same...reaching for 6th- 8th.
AI jr. doesnt do it for me, maybe he will surprise. I dont know. I hate the nuggets so I hope Im right and he kills the 'team' chemistry they gained when Melo left.

I think they're better with Iggy, but still not as good as us.
