Hooped Up

When you shoot an Xmas promo at a high altitude, a variety of things can happen.  Uncoordinated dancing, the inability to hit a note and channeling that guy from Boyz II Men with the deep voice. If they shoot their next Xmas promo in Mexico City it’ll be legendary!

The Nuggets traded for Detroit guard Arron Afflalo, forward Walter Sharpe and cash today.

The Nuggets sent back a second-round draft pick. Afflalo, 6-foot-5, spent two seasons in Detroit, averaging 4.3 points and 1.8 rebounds as he struggled to find consistent playing time. He is known as a streaky offensive player, and a solid defender.

Sharpe is a 6-9 forward who played in only eight games for the Pistons last season as a rookie. The move clears $1.8 million in cap space for the Pistons, who are in need of a post presence.
