What will our division look like these coming years?

Could you imagine if Denver still had Kmart and JR Smith?

Put McGee, Kmart, and JR Smith in the uniform? Wow....

Why did Denver trade for him?

Seems to me like Nene fit in perfectly in Denver.

Because they realized they overpaid for him. I doubt McGee is going to get that 14 mill he wants. Probably more like 10 mil.

2. Denver realized they overpaid for Nene so they sent him to Washington in exchange for Javale McGee. McGee is younger, has more upside, .......although he's a complete dumba$$

...isn't that what you college grads call an "oxymoron"?

....10 million bucks a year.....for a "complete dumba$$?" My, how far the NBA has fallen!

You don't think those guys are franchise players but you think Harrison Barnes is? The same Harrison Barnes whose strong point is shooting, but is only shooting 37% from 3 with the best point guard in the nation? The same Harrison Barnes who can't pass, steal or defend? I fart in your general direction. Barnes is good in the right situation, but by no means is he a franchise player...hell, he's not even the most important player on his college team.

This.

After Davis, no one is guaranteed to be a franchise player. So unless we're talking about trading up for the #1 pick, I don't see the point in giving up assets to trade up. The 5th pick really isn't that much better than the 10th pick in this draft, IMO (assuming the majority of these guys come out).

Yep. Could even say that 2 - 12 is pretty even .. or at least not that much different.
