    If they do that Denver is going to be on Rushmore as best team ever created and Malone would proclaim himself and Jokic as a genius ,but he actually already did.
    day ago – via Twitter VBenedetto

    Vinny Benedetto: Michael Malone is asked by @NotoriousOHM about Nikola Jokic’s problem-solving ability. “His IQ is off the charts. He probably belongs to Mensa, and he probably doesn’t know what Mensa is,” Malone says

    I would not go that far, but they are beating Minny, no problem. They are just warming up.

    We have an old fart on our roster, Donovan, to keep everyone focused …. the Dude that was recruiting you a couple nights ago. But you gotta help us out here with the “you won’t re-sign anywhere else” gambit.

    Denver's game outside of Colorado watching only 1000 people in city where Jokic was born and it is like 3-4 in the morning there.Minnesota and Ant already is more popular .And New York is doing crazy with some stats by Brunson . He's already better than Patrick Ewing never was.

    Brunson is incredible, but I wouldn't go this far yet. In 1990 Ewing averaged 28 ppg, 11 rbs, and 4 blocks. First Team All-NBA and fifth in both MVP and DPOY. Won 45 games with a pretty meh supporting cast and lost the Pistons in 5 in the second round who went on to win the title. His athleticism started to go by like 1992, but still got the Knicks to the Finals in 1994. Brunson finished 5th in MVP voting, but I think he's either toward the back end of the Top 10 players in the league or just outside it. Ewing was a legit Top 5-7 guy at his peak, so I'd still give the edge to Ewing.

    Colorado is owned by the Broncos . I think there are more nuggets fans in Serbia than in Colorado . It’s basically AVS/ Broncos . Nobody watches the nuggets or the Rockies

    the whole city of COL is too busy watching Deion sanders destroy the buffaloes football program .

    YES.Colorado still loves hockey.I have friends in Denver.When Avalanche are playing ,nobody is on the street or in Mall shopping, everyone is watching games somewhere for NBA they are really don't care much . Maybe because two of their stars aren't Americans and Murray is always saying something like we're going to kick USA a**** at the Olympics

    I just think Nuggets are not very popular because they have never won anything so now they are just building a fan base . Ask these nuggets fans who Alex English is ? They don’t know .

    I have some friends & relatives in Northern ca . They tell me warriors fans are the biggest fairweather fans in the NBA, SF giants behind home plates tix for their 1st ever ws was only 250 dollars. Warriors fans have never heard of Sarunas marciulionis .

    Mitchell should really come here. Nearing 28 so not that young anymore and he's never going to win a ring with the Cavs.

    miami and ny are as close as we are with more trade assets (and without having to lose key pieces).

    that said, his fit with lebron and AD is really good, and his fit with AD going past that would also be good. we should definitely offer everything we can, if only to make sure the price is high for competitors.

    How bout this:
    Hawks get AR and Rui

    Cavs get Dejounte and Vando

    Lakers get Mitchell and AJ Griffin
    Work out the picks anyway you want.
    Who says no?

    Why should we try to keep D'Angelo's choking a**? Doesn't matter who you pair him with, he's still going to disappear in the playoffs.
