Someone explain to me the appeal of Amare.

If by that you mean Lawson, then

Everybody's sleeping on him. They will pay.

Yeah but he's not 6'5 220 PG at the age of 19 with an almost 7 foot wingspan.

No, he's not. But then Tyreke isn't an amazing ball handler (especially in heavy traffic) who can push the pace to lightning quick speeds while making great decisions, not turning the ball over, and spreading the floor with his ability to shoot the 3. They're very different players. But when you look at the rest of the Nuggets roster, plugging Lawson into it will, I think, produce some positive results that a lot of people are underestimating right now.

Actually Tyreke is a really good ball handler, that's how he's able to get into the lane at will and break down defenses. And yes, they are very different players, but I think it's pretty clear who is better now, and in the future.

[DenButsu]

We shall see.

You, too, will be punished.

Welcome back, Josh.

I am really more excited by this season than I have been in seasons past. Lots of teams appear to have gotten better with additions. Vince Carter should help out the Magic, although he's a touch overrated, imo.
Shawn Marion should work really well with Kidd and Co. Jefferson will provide some scoring for the Spurs-although according to Charlie "Douche" Rosen, he is a selfish ballhog. I haven't gotten that impression watching R.J. play, to be honest.
Rockets are suffering from lack of notable personnel, but they are a tough team-they aren't going to go away quietly.
As for the Nuggets, I think they'll miss the playoffs entirely...do you agree, Den?

I haven't been less excited about the NBA in a really long time. These new refs are calling 70 fouls a game, and nothing pisses me off more than ticky tack ******** calls. I think I'm just gonna watch college football, the NFL, and hell...the UFL. I'm just getting so fed up with the way they call games, and it looks like it's gonna get way worse this year. Let them just play....
