You're not alone in hating it! Honestly though, the NBA, MLB and NHL play so many games, I don't normally get too interested - until the playoffs anyway.

And, being in Denver, about all I can do is read recaps of their games since they're not on TV.

In the Playoffs they will be on TNT, ABC, or ESPN for every game. No Altitude nonsense in the playoffs!

poor nugs are getting absolutely boatraced again. . .

bigtime congratulations to the joker on winning back-to-back MVPs. . . what an accomplishment!

He's the best player in the game.

Given how I just trolled Jaded into oblivion (he quit like the punk ass ho he is) when he comes back he'll shit a brick reading this.

But I would give the MVP and title of 'best player in the NBA' to Joker. The passing is insane. He wasn't playing with a full crew this year so his assists number probably would have been higher. He reminds me of prime LeBron in this sense: Joker could lead the league in scoring any year he wanted, but he recognizes that's not always the most effective way to play the game. The rebounding total was just astronomical. I think the energy output it takes to rebound at that level and run the offense is truly special. Granted, the other two candidates are superior, probably significantly, on defense. But this is the NBA. Points win, bb. Defense isn't what made the Bulls and Warriors dynasties tick. . .and both were great defensive teams.

There are folks out there complaining that Joker shouldn't have won the MVP because he "CaN't GEt OuT oF tHE FiRsT RoUnD," and that's about as stupid as a screen-door on a submarine. He didn't have his killers with him. You can't kill without your killers. It's also a regular season award. The folks screaming Embiid should have won were pointing to his return in the current series...but if you live like that then his poor performance (not really his fault, IMO) would nix that in the bud. You don't get mercurial with legacy awards. Gratz to Joker.

The Denver Nuggets are trading forward JaMychal Green and a protected 2027 first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 30th pick in this month's NBA draft, and two future second-round picks, sources told ESPN on Monday.

The Thunder still have the Nos. 2, 12 and 34 picks in this year's draft, and the Nuggets now have Nos. 21 and 30.

Oklahoma City will send Denver second-round picks in 2023 and 2024, sources said.

CB TO DENVER

I don't object to a salary dump, those were both bad contracts, even though I like Monte. I'll reserve final judgment until I see what they do with the cap space, though. Right now, they aren't even marginally close to putting enough help around joker.

Normally a trade for a mid-level player prior to NBA free agency wouldn’t be a big deal, but the Wizards acquiring Monté Morris means much more. Morris and Kyle Kuzma are now teammates again, and in doing so the pair is fulfilling a childhood dream they have had since they were eight years old.

Kuzma said goodbye to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who’s now off to Denver to join the Nuggets — but there was a silver lining to the trade as well.

On the the other end! I get a brother back! Monte and I were in second grade together and at 8 years old we said we would play on the same NBA team together!🤯🤯🤯🤯 LIFE IS A SIMULATION

KCP is a winning time type of player. That's a nice get.

I like the trade, Barton and Morris will both be missed but I didn't like how hot and cold they were on the floor, for every good game they had there was 2-3 in sequence that weren't very good. I like the KCP add.

KCP is very mercurial, but he is a bulldog on D and usually plays well in big games. He also looks like Omar from The Wire, so you know it's a good trade.
