Camby Canned


Incisions are made into the brain and then I begin to give em a lobotomy,
follow me I'm shapin your brain like pottery

The Nuggets brain trust made the decision to trade give away center Marcus Camby to the Los Angeles Clippers. We cannot question the Nugs’ brain trust, after all they know what they are doing.

We all know there is one single person in charger over at Chopper Circle, not a bunch of people with fancy titles and some owner who never or rarely comments in public. The brain trust is set up like that.

The brain trust knows that Nene and Steven Hunter are ready to man the post for the foreseeable future. Nene, who hasn’t been healthy for nearly four full seasons, and Hunter, with his 2 minute average, are ready to flourish. They will easily eclipse Camby’s 13 boards a game and numerous shot changing chances that aren’t even counted in the NBA. Defensive presence, this new duos will provide.

After all, the brain trust knows defense has been the biggest problem for this group not advancing the past five years. What better way to cure that ail than…ahem…dealing Camby and letting your defensive scrapper, Eddie Najera, get away.

The brain trust deemed it important to let Camby go to a team in the Western Conference, albeit one essentially chasing the Nugs for the #8 spot each year. They know that no Eastern Conference team would want the NBA Defensive player of the year from 2007. he Eastern Conference only has a few dominant teams, none of the other dozen teams could use Camby to make a playoff push. None of those teams could offer the brain trust better than what the Clippers were offering.

The brain trust knows that this salary dump will give them “financial flexibility” to attract free agents. Because the last few free agent signings have gone over so well for the brain trust, they know that the players will be flocking to Denver.

And the brain trust’s headmaster, Stan Kroenke, flush with the Democrats’ cash in his pockets, was looking to get out of the luxury tax threshold. One of the richest men in the country couldn’t go on paying for this group. Trading the pieces for like pieces to match up salaries, as in Camby for a couple bench players and a draft pick, would’ve never worked.

On second thought, it looks like this brain trust may need a lobotomy.

We all know this is nothing more than the Nuggets giving up on this season. They dump AI at the end of the year, free up that money, and see what they can do from there.

Pisses me off, but we all knew it was coming at some point.

Once they made the 'commitment' to Carmelo, someone had to go.

Look for GK to be fired mid way through this year when they are stuggling.
