Nuggets: Ujiri > Presti

[racm]

Presti's overrated, tbh, if Durant didn't fall into his lap Seattle would look mediocre.

Presti's biggest trades of his career:

Traded Jeff Green for Kendrick Perkins. A pretty average combo forward for a 6'10" pillar who only looked good once KG arrived.

Traded James Harden for Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb. If Lamb pans out as a scorer, sure, but they traded their second best player for a guy who went 1-7 against the Nuggets.

Meanwhile Ujiri turned the Thuggets into Iggy, Gallo, Faried... a nice core tbh, though they'll need HCA to win a playoff series.

ujiri is the master tbh

Don't they call him Batman over at Denver Stiffs?

The Nuggets don't have a guy to go, which could hurt them in the playoffs.

i dunno, the way ty's been playing lately it might be him.

chandler was off the chain tonight. gallo gets red hot. that's 3 possibilities

[racm]

Denver's inability to hit FTs will be their undoing; they already have two closers in Gallo and Lawson.

It's their FT shooting and half court game that's the issue.

[blkroadrunners]

Denver's a dark horse, but I question their inconsistent 3-point shooting also. Outside of Gallo, everyone else are basically hit-or-miss.

George Karl deserves as much, if not more credit for how solid the nuggets look.

Tell that to the legions of wit nuggets fans who want GK gone. They're idiots.

Those are Melo fans, should have packed their bags & moved to the big apple as well, tbh.

Pop & Karl are very alike. I think Denver can take down any team in the West come Playoffs baring OKC. If Denver can make Westbrook their primary scorer and don't let Durant control the game, Denver has a legitimate chance to come out the West.

Presti is one of the best drafting, not so great making trades or managing the contracts. They should have unloaded some contracts and kept Harden.

Lawson isn't a good defender...They should put Iggy on Westbrick and hide Lawson on Sefalosha tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Denver is a typical regular season success..

- No capable scoring bigs
- No consistent shooters
- Limited half-court offense
- Average defensive team
- No star player

George Karl's teams are constant underachievers in the playoffs, too..

They are a fastbreak team that thrives on generating turnovers and attacking in the open floor..the playoffs encourages half-court basketball and star power..defenses are focuses and thoroughly planning strategies..a team with that many flaws will be exposed, tbh..

If Memphis doesn't eliminate them, the Spurs will, tbh..

[baseline bum]

The best move that team made was fleecing Minnesota for Lawson. LOL getting Lawson for the pick that became Luke Babbitt. Never had any idea why draft prognosticators hated Lawson so much after how awesome he was at UNC.

From what I heard is that the Thunder wanted to draft Hasheem Thabeet in 2009, but Michael Heisley and the Grizzlies bailed them out so they had to settle for James Harden.
