Knicks don't develop players very often!
Denver is no contender and after a rough start is now 11-6 with life without Iggy and no Gallo. With a young coach, draft picks, and youth they have a base to make deals or develop a solid franchise.
They were unafraid to let go of the coach of the year and eat a year of his contract for the long term benefit of the franchise. A concept not acceptable in the Mecca. They are taking risks that might not pan out. We construct rosters based on arena renovations and fear of the Russian.
Nolad--why cant Denver be a championship contender? They have the ingredients to do it. The one thing that have to steer clear of is only giving Gallo a role when he comes back. He was a heavy FGA man last year--but their strength is in numbers--no player dominates the ball and they can easily out rebound any NBA team nightly.

Im just saying Denver dropped back a bit by developing McGee and Shaw. They have the assets in picks and utes and any combo can be used and traded so they can but its just my opinion the roster today is not. I doubt Gallo returns to top form this season. Maybe next? I like the way they rebooted instead of holding on to Karl. They have a plan and it seems ownership wants to move beyond first round exits. They figured life without Melo would go on.
Even Kahn could not destroy Minny and they have risen. All you need is "Love"!!!!! (a pick kept)
Really its all quite simple, draft players and be cool.

exactly, as I said many times.. You don't have to be bad for long in this league..
Jesus- ANOTHER broken hand (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist)- what is going on?!
This is the year of the broken hand, knock on wood we all stay safe away from this bad omens

bizarre situation
Ruocco on Mike and Mike this morning said that one thing he thinks the Nets were worried about was the Boston guys going to Frank because they had had him as a coach during a very successful run in Boston. He also said early on the Net practices were run by Frank and that Kidd spoke to guys off on the side 1:1. He said over the past couple of weeks Kidd began criticizing the defense in a blaming manner. He said that it was unusual because Kidd was the head coach. I am waiting for the rest of the news regarding this situation to leak out. Frank is a very respected guy in the league and is respected by his former players.
Adrian Wojnarowski called the anonymous reports a "smear campaign" ... then deleted the tweet.
Smear campaign underway on deposed Nets assistant Lawrence Frank is predictable and pitiful, but he won't last long as franchise scapegoat.

I definitely think Frank is being used as the scapegoat. However, I think he also was the de facto head coach and initially Kidd was ok with that. With the Nets losing and guys in the media pointing out that Frank seemed to be diagramming things during time outs, up and coaching during the early games, and might have had the boston guys going to him instead of Kidd, a change might have been necessary. Still by all accounts Kidd/Frank was a package deal and Frank was supposed to help with Kidd's transition.
"MoZgov... 17 points and 20 boards tonight"
I finally watched me some Mozgov the other night and he's starting to look pretty good. He's still an iffy starting center but, wow, what a nice piece to have on your bench.
Denver vs Cleveland tonight Mosgoz still plays soft around the rim, he will easily be intimidated when the games really count...He ain't ready !
Ty Lawson played horrible game against Cleveland, Denver needs a pg, that's probably why they signed Nate Robinson. LOL
In the wake of being officially “reassigned” by Kidd prior to Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Nuggets in Brooklyn, Frank is in the process of retaining “high-powered” legal counsel, presumably to settle a buyout with the franchise, a league source told The Post.

Total bullshit. I was not happy when we just threw in Mozgov and were with Turiaf to man center. I didn't care about the pick at the time because I never expected to be in the lottery. We got hosed man. Pants down
yea, hose, killed, fleeced, you name it, we got it. LOL
good win by the Hawks tonight.. I was at the game, nice floor seats, sat with all the famous people.. LOL Clippers missed a lot of shots, did a lot of complaining.. Blake griffin really works hard out there and chris paul is just a master on the floor with the ball.. he does a lot of little things that create contact, almost makes it hard to officiate him...
Jamal is also slick with the ball.. and jared dudley has a nice shooting stroke... kyle korver is constant motion... novak needs to take note of how he gets open.
alright figured it all out,
they used frank to walk kidd through the motions of coaching so that he will get on the fly training,
and now that kidd has an idea of what the job is about, frank is useless and a very expensive patsy,
frank will go on to coach again, collect a fat check and kidd will start winning some games soon, everyone wins
Enjoyable Thunder Vs Blazers game- glad the Blazers won! I'm a big fan of Aldridges game, I was hoping we could get him, but now they're doing so well that ain't a possibility. I usually hate watching Thunder games because of the BS foul calls Durant gets- he's a great player, he doesn't need the refs to cheat- I wish they'd stop doing it.
Durant is rail thin so when he gets even small contact, his body reacts violently,
and this looks bad, so the brain in the ref, it thinks, "hey that's a rough foul"
