Well, that was awesome.

yuuussss!!
I'm interested to see if the Nuggets make a move before the trade deadline. There's lots of trade rumors out there involving them. Rodney Hood, Darren Collison, and Tyreke Evans have all been connected to Denver. With Millsap coming back, this team has a serious shot to make some noise in the playoffs.
The names that are being talked about on the Nuggets end are Faried (please!), Mudiay, and Beasley. Sounds like the Nuggets don't want to part with Juancho. Smart move. I think he's still recovering from Mononucleosis. That will wipe you out for months. I expect to see more of him down the stretch, but I think it will take him that long to get his strength back. The trade deadline is in 4 days.
Sounds like the Nuggets are trying for Marcus Smart as well. Boston wants a first round pick in return. I'm torn. Smart is one of the best defenders in the NBA and he's 23 years old. He's also a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Is he worth a first? Absolutely.
The draft is what this front office does best though. The core of this team is all home grown talent. Jokic, Harris, and Murray. All studs, all young and getting better every year. As bad as the Nuggets pooched the last draft, you still have to trust that they can evaluate talent as well as any team in the league.
Mudiay, Beasley and a first are their main assets. It'll more than likely cost a first rounder to get rid of Faried and his overpriced contract.
Marcus Smart has taken over for Ginobili as "league's best flopper."
Woj just tweeted that Denver, Boston and Philly are front runners to acquire Tyreke Evans.
evans is redundant. . . get smart. . .
I've got to be honest, I don't fully understand what our needs are... So we got rid of Jameer Nelson to free up time for Mudiay's development, right? And now Mudiay is a confirmed bust and we need a backup PG?
I also don't understand where Evans fits in.
Marcus Smart has one of the strangest stat lines in the league. When he shoots poorly (which is often) the Celtics winning percentage is remarkably better. His career winning percentage in games he shoots sub-30 percent is .641. That winning percentage drops to .598 in games he shoots better than 30 percent. And that difference is even more pronounced this year.
