Wow. Indy got over like fat rats.
Melo, AI, Tinsley, JR, Patterson, K-Mart and Smush?
I can't stand George Karl but I feel for him.
http://hoopshype.com/Jamaal Tinsley is headed to the Denver Nuggets for Chucky Atkins and Steven Hunter, according to the New York Post .
Can't stay im excited but i can't say im against it either. Atkins was a horrible signing and Hunter is injury prone also.
Tinsley certainly has issues but at least he is a decent PG lol

no way Patterson or Smush make the team....... they are just training camp fodder
Tinsley is expensive but they must be banking on him to start coz thats alot of money for a backup.
Im just glad Carter wont be starting!! Tinsley averaged 12 and 8.4apg last season, but of course had injury issues and other issues lol
I dont love the move, but i dont hate it either.
That's like a cruel joke. "Because the Bengals refused."
oh christ.
i'm not surprised at all.
AI better sort it out with tinsley coz there's only 1 ball to go around.
whats the over/under on how many days it takes for the Nuggets to get into a brawl in the locker room?
Anyway, its not my money and so they can spend it on head cases if they wish
Dude, I can't even find it to make fun of you about this.whats the over/under on how many days it takes for the Nuggets to get into a brawl in the locker room?

Great deal for Indiana, they get rid of a cancer and save $10M. It's a steal.
This trade is bad for Nuggets for two reasons :
First, they shoudl get some incentives to take Tinsley contract like pick.
Second, I don't know what is their goal. If you are rebuilding, you don't trade for an old Tinsley with a long term contract. If you are in win now mode, you don't trade Camby for nothing.
An healthy and focused Tinsley could help Nuggets but I don't get their organization.
This is a bad trade for Denver unless they're still gonna make moves.
Pacers are going to have to cut some guys.
hey, Tinsley plus JR. let the fun begin. good luck they have a sane big brother in K-Mart to look for the kids.
(hey Tin, you tattoo a hundred times: "I must not fire machine guns while driving")
There are some people in my life who I trust completely and I know I can believe anything they say. Then there are others who I am a little wary of. Peter Vecsey definitely fits in the latter category. Well, Tom over at Indy Cornrows alerted me to the fact that Vecsey was on the radio in Indianapolis today and he had a little trade rumor surrounding the Denver Nuggets and Jamaal Tinsley.
According to Vecsey the Nuggets and Pacers had a deal in place to trade Tinsley to the Nuggets in exchange for Chucky Atkins and Steven Hunter, but Rex Chapman used his veto power to reject the deal.

Wow, I called them the Thuggets last year already!
Still think itīs a great addition for them though.
Tinsley will surprise a lot of people this year...... on the court.

No Tinsley deal
Posted by Mike Wells
I've talked to a couple people - one from the Pacers camp and another from the Nuggets camp - this morning and both sides say point guard Jamaal Tinsley has not been traded to Denver for point guard Chucky Atkins and center Steven Hunter as reported by the New York Post.

oh well........ i dont mind either way. It's really not going to make a whole lot of difference to the Nuggs either way. It's a big risk coz of his issues but he is a good floor leader when healthy
Itīs on NBA.com so I doubt it to be false.
Dude, you should be jumping up and down when your team can get Tinsley for those 2 scrubs!
yeh but he is injury prone and expensive.
Id much prefer him over AC but im just not sold on the possible move.
Vecsey is the source of this info and he isn't reliable.
yeh and i think nba.com and espn are using him as well lol
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I just saw this thread...good day in Indy!
edit: I just saw Ploto's comment.
C'mon Denver...do something! Just take him off our hands!

Whoa, don't be so hard on your team. We all know why the Pacers did it but for the Nuggets, it could also be a great move.
a) If Tinsley fits in and they all get along, that's a damn potent team. With that much firepower, they'll be back in the Playoffs. IF everybody gets along and stays away from the law.
or
b) They become the new Jailblazers and kill each other before Thanksgiving.
I think playing with the best during the Olympics has matured Melo quite a bit, I think he'll finally step forward as a leader.
Melo + AI + JR + Tinsley + KMart makes a compelling team and if Nene's healthy he can help their defense.
Very, very risky for the Nugz to add more gas to a volatile team but man, if they can make it work, it's a very good deal for the 2 scrubs. IF they play nice, they'll make the Playoffs.
I have to disagree with you on a couple of points. First, you think everyone has firepower and could make the playoffs (memphis, okc...). This move makes little sense and even if he does play nice, they do not make the playoffs. Secondly, Melo matured during the Olympics? Did you not see him try and fight a guy for a soft foul on Dwight? He is still an idiot. He is talented, but an immature as .
I think we have some surprises in store this year, a bit of a changing of the guard. There will be some room for surprise teams this year. The Nugz can be one of them....IF they can play nice together. Of course, it's all just speculation and they might end up in a locker room brawl, but with many declining powerhouses, it feels like the winds of change are coming.
I think he finally realized he was the black sheep of his draft class and was humbled by it.Secondly, Melo matured during the Olympics? Did you not see him try and fight a guy for a soft foul on Dwight? He is still an idiot. He is talented, but an immature as .
He's not done maturing but I think the Olympics were a huge step forward for him. He went out of his way to focus on rebounding...he wasn't good at it but he tried. He played very nice in the Olympics except for that incident you talked about. The old Melo would have kept trying to fight, this Melo walked away after the initial clash.
