Rumor has it Denver wants to get in on the west cost trade-stravaganza by trading Eduardo Najera, Linas Kleiza and Von Wafer to Memphis for Mike Miller, or another version of the same trade with J. R. Smith going instead of Kleiza. What do ya'll thibk, hot or not? (I think the Nuggets should do it)
Miller is arguably the best white American born player in the league....that being said I love Najera and the energy he brings from the bench.....but if Miller is in a situation where he's the 4th or 5th option with an open jump shot he's deadly.....it's just that now in Memphis he's the #2 option and is not very good at creating his own shot.
If what Denver is lacking is a guy to bury a three or come off the bench for some instant offense, Miller will work.
Miller should be starting somewhere. And w/ the BlackHole that is A.I. plus the need to get Melo his shots I dont see how Miller fits into Denver lineup.
Unless
The Answer - back at Point Mike Miller - Shooting G Melo - SF Martin - 4 Camby - Center
This still doesnt answer the defensive woes that team has. Outside of Camby erryone else is

Another hot rumour is Nene to Sacramento for Artest straight up. But in spite of Artest's defensive skills I don't think this would make Denver that much better on D. There just isn't an overall team commitment to defense in Colorado.
More Kidd trade complications...this is what happens with players get pampered; NOBODY wants to leave the nest.

By Chris Broussard ESPN The Magazine
Devean George's refusal to consent to being traded to the New Jersey Nets is not the only hindrance to the Jason Kidd-to-Dallas deal, according to several league sources.
Although there has been no public comment from the NBA on the matter, sources say that league officials are not pleased with Jerry Stackhouse's brazen announcement that he would soon return for a Mavericks playoff run if traded to New Jersey.
"I get 30 days to rest, then I'll be right back,'' Stackhouse told The Associated Press on Wednesday in response to the proposed trade. "I ain't going nowhere."
Stackhouse is referring to the widely reported assumption that New Jersey would immediately buy him out of his contract, which would allow him to re-sign with another team. Stackhouse's preference is to return to Dallas, but according to league rules he'd have to wait at least 30 days.
The 30-day rule was added to the league's collective bargaining agreement as a response to a trade between Boston and Atlanta in 2005. In that deal, Boston sent Gary Payton to Atlanta to reacquire Antoine Walker with the understanding that the Hawks would immediately waive Payton, who then re-signed with Boston three days later.
The league frowned on this move, and instituted the 30-day rule. By flouting the rule so publicly, Stackhouse may have given the league no choice but to eliminate him from the deal or prevent the Mavericks from re-signing him.
"If Stackhouse had kept quiet, the league wouldn't have been able to prove anything,'' one Western Conference executive said. "Now, it's obvious that he talked to Mark Cuban about coming back to the Mavericks.''

Yeah, read this early today. The only problem is Stack running his mouth, cos this type of stuff does go on. Seems like letting teams fleece other teams in the L through wack trades affects the competitive balance more.
But yeah, Cuban and them have fucked up the money. Hope they can fix it.

I still think that the trade will go through somehow. Jason Williams will be the grumpiest Net ever if they don't make it work. The whole thing is making Dallas management look less than competent.
Honestly, I take Williams to build a team around before Paul....dude is quick, strong, has a jumper, makes his team mates better and makes very few mistakes.

So if K.O.B.E. can't play in the all-star game who gets voted in?
Manu?
Baron?
Miller should be starting somewhere. And w/ the BlackHole that is A.I. plus the need to get Melo his shots I dont see how Miller fits into Denver lineup.

The Answer - back at Point
Mike Miller - Shooting G

I NEED A YUICHI LIVE-BLOG ON ALL-STAR SATURDAY NIGHT.
I've always liked Bibby's game.
I'm gonna live blog the dunk contest here........Boddington's will help.
The brothers in Sac are cleaning house.....Artest is supposedly available.
Right on man. I'll be around. It's a shitty (weather) night in Austin.
The big men winning the "shooters" competition was a good look.
HEY ROCK, YOU LOVE THIS BEER COMMERCIAL W/ THIN LIZZY "JAILBREAK", RIGHT?
overplayed here.
I would be seeking refuge at one of your pads right now.
I guess it'll have to wait until fall!
Artest and or Mike Miller to the SUNS = ulimate game over. It'll never happen though, too pricey.
Anytime.....I'm out in the sticks.
Heineken and Hite over here, sorting some findz, some parma goldfish and some sushi and the night is complete
Naw....I know....just joking. I thought you didn't like that era of Tha Lizz.
No...I love all of Thin Lizzy's stuff....just hate that 2 of their worst songs get 99% of their airplay.
Honestly, I take Williams to build a team around before Paul....dude is quick, strong, has a jumper, makes his team mates better and makes very few mistakes.
Along with The Boys Are Back In Town.......admittedly it's most likely because they have been played/commercialized into oblivion for me.
