Harrington signing was weird. These moves make much more sense… AC is a solid backup, great 3rd PG. Shelden is no good on offense, but has solid strength

There was a period last year when Shelden Williams was getting significant minutes with the Celtics (because of injuries), and the Celtic announcers were saying things like, “It’s going to be hard to keep him out of the lineup when everyone’s healthy”. In other words, he looked good. Then he lost his minutes and he was forgotten.

I wanted a center, but at least Williams is a rebounder and defender. He doesn’t have the height I want, but he has a ridiculous wingspan, which helps. But, as Jeremy says, he’ll be sitting on the end of the bench anyway. So I guess it doesn’t matter.

For those who want to get rid of Kenyon, my question is for what? The most we could get for him right now is a second round pick in a straight salary dump (like the Camby trade). And it wouldn’t take us under the salary cap. If you are Stan Kroenke, then I understand why you want to get rid of him. Otherwise, I don’t see your point.

A big who could be interesting is Dampier. He provides major beef, if nothing else but fortunately he does provide other things, like rebounding and good post defense. Maybe he gets offered something above the veteran minimum, probably? It’s not he can’t be a valuable matchup at times. But there have been reports linking him with the veteran minimum.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET RID OF K-MART? ANY WAY? He can not help the future of this team. He probably can’t help the now, but I know his contract is the worst in the most insane one in the NBA so are we completely unable to unload him or???????????????

Has anyone heard if the Nuggets are going to resign Joey Graham or not?

I still would have liked Anthony Tolliver over Shelden Williams. Was that ever a possibility?

Also Jeremy, you suggested we get Beasley and, while I was vehemently against it at the time, I could see Beasley becoming a very similar player to Harrington. Do I think this makes us instant contenders? No, but it opens up a lot of options, not only for how this team plays now but what they will do with the assets they can now afford to wait and shop around

2 things to consider Jeremy. A similar 5 year deal for Haslem would have also been a bad contract – he’s more of a defensive presence and fit, but not a Center and not a long term answer, nor an answer for the Lakers. I am a little surprised they went so hard at Harrington, but they wanted a veteran with starter’s credentials. I think it signals more about the mysterious, closely guarded status of Kenyon Martin.

His career may be over. The Nuggets aren’t counting to get anything out of him next year and they are gearing up for him to be gone. If he can come back he’ll be a decent trade chip
