The Denver Nuggets need to have a talk with God. They currently have seven players under contract. Which is weird because it seemed like they got at least seven players in the Carmelo trade last year.
Three important players, Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith, and Wilson Chandler, signed contracts in China thinking that there would not be an NBA season. Their contracts do not have opt-out clauses so they are left with two choices now: stay in China for the length of the contract, play, and get paid, or stay in China for the length of the contract, not play, and not get paid.
They still have Danilo Gallinari though, and I think he will have a great year. Especially since J.R. Smith is not on the team and taking 38 shots per game, I think Gallinari could score 20-23 points per. He could be the next Dirk.
The real reason they need to have a talk with God is because that seems to be the best way to win in Denver. Tim Tebow is completing 45.5% of his passes this season, five Nuggets players had a higher field goal percentage than that last year. But Timmy is a winner, as evidenced by his winning of games.
I do not like Tim Tebow, but give credit where credit is due. He is 5-1 as a starter. The only quarterback with a better record is Aaron Rodgers. General managers in all sports desire players that will help the team win games. Dwight Howard does it by rebounding and blocking shots. Lionel Messi does it by scoring goals. Albert Pujols does it by hitting home-runs. I have no idea how Tim Tebow does it, but he does it. First, Tebow haters said "He can't play." Then they said "He can't win the division." Now they say "He can't win a championship."When the knock on a player is most people kinda sorta think that said player can do everything except win a championship, he must be pretty good. I do not think he will win a Super Bowl, but the goal is to win and he does that better than almost anyone.
Forget re-signing Nene and Arron Afllalo, the Nuggets should sign TEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOWWW.
