Denver Nuggets
Why would you trade Marcus Camby? Do the Nuggets know of a rebounding and shot blocking center tree in the Colorado Mountains? Minus the yeoman contribution of Camby. Kenyon Martin, Nene Halario and Chris Anderson will need to step things up on the glass and play a higher level of interior defense. Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson will have to co-exist again on the perimeter and newly acquired defensive specialist Renaldo Balkman will pair with JR Smith to provide some needed energy of the Nuggets bench. Linas Klezia ain’t too bad either.
Does coach George Karl and GM Mark Warkentien have a method to their madness, or is this team in for a rude awakening?
Projected Starters: PG - Anthony Carter / SG - Allen Iverson / SF - Carmelo Anthony / PF - Kenyon Martin / C - Nene Hilario
Additions: Renaldo Balkman, Chris Anderson, Dahntay Jones, Sonny Weems
Losses: Marcus Camby, Eduardo Najera, Yakhouba Diawara, Bobby Jones, Taurean Green
Projected Wins: 40+
Team Theme Song: Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock – It Takes Two
It begins and ends with Melo and AI, and it takes two to make things as right as they can be in Denver.
Overall
This might be the year that Allen Iverson has to officially defer to Carmelo Anthony as the teams main option. Hopefully the Nuggets just move AI to the point so he can use his vision to create easy buckets for his team mates more often. Losing Camby is the big story here, Kenyon Martin and Nene are not the players they were before injury and Linas Kleiza earns his minutes by scoring, not defense. Without Camby in the middle, the Nuggets will struggle in the west and retooling might be around the corner.
Regardless, this team is always fun to watch because of the Anthony and Iverson duo but the playoffs…kinda iffy.

Nuggets forward Nene is recovering after undergoing surgery Monday night to remove a tumor from one of his testicles, according to a source close to the player. Further exams are scheduled and more on the 25-year-old’s condition and outlook is expected to be known in the coming days. Rocky Mountain News It is unknown whether the tumor removed from Nene is cancerous. According to a fact sheet on cancer.gov, testicular cancer accounts for only 1 percent of all cancer cases in the United States annually. The most notable athlete diagnosed with testicular cancer was cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was 25 at the time. Armstrong went on to win the Tour de France an unprecedented seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.
