donnie to denver? - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 06:47 PM

does anyone here think that many of the moves that have been made might have a little something to do with donnie nelson?

scooterj5 · 06-26-2002, 06:49 PM

Not really

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 06:49 PM

me neither.

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 06:52 PM

they've already picked up one of donnie's guys

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 06:54 PM

there is a ton of trade talk involving the Knicks right now.....some of it involves Denver.

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 06:56 PM

7:20 PM: Chad Ford of ESPNews reports that the Denver/Knicks trade could be a 3-way with Cleveland. Cle sends Andre Miller and Tyrone Hill to the Knicks. The Knicks send Camby, Ward & #7 to Denver. Denver sends McDyess to Cleveland.

If this happens the Dallas trade is off because they will use Thomas as a Center.

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 06:56 PM

Knicks took Hilario!!!!! WHOA!

That has to be a trade....

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 06:57 PM

Nickoloz Tskitishvili

Little nellie was/is really high on this guy. Norm had reported that Little Nellie and Kiki had worked him out a couple of times..

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 06:59 PM

reports are Andre Miller to the Clipps...uhoh, i don't want him in the west

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 07:01 PM

I think Miller is heading to NY murph....couple of sources reporting that one now....realgm, espn

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:02 PM

haha..well, cnnsi reporting him going to the clippers

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:02 PM

also mentioned by norm

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 07:04 PM

2-2....who the hell knows on draft day you know?

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:06 PM

i have a feeling there's going to be a sh*tload of moves made during and after the trade.

and i'm not going out on much of a limb here

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:07 PM

i'm getting draft day tired head...it would be much more exciting if i thought the mavs were going to make a move

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 07:10 PM

If Hilario goes t oDenver as expected via trade, I might have to revisit my stance on whether or not little Nellie is staying in Dallas.

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:15 PM

well, it's rumored to be one of three guys.. hilario, thomas or camby

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 07:19 PM

why would denver be stupid enough to not DEMAND Hilario?

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 07:21 PM

doc, it might have been dependant upon the draft pick....if hilario was drafted, he might be the guy moved..and he was, so, ..we'll see

mick · 06-26-2002, 08:48 PM

<< does anyone here think that many of the moves that have been made might have a little something to do with donnie nelson? >>

Denver took the top two players that Donnie hyped yesterday.

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 08:56 PM

and now that Denver has them both, I think little Nellie takes that interview a whole lot more seriously.

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 08:57 PM

doc, i thought that you didn't think the moves had anything to do with donnie?

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 09:01 PM

at the time murph, the moves were different.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 09:07 PM

they had made their first draft pick and the trade seemed to be a done deal..

too late to backtrack doc...don't pull a mavskiki

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 09:11 PM

there was no indication of Hilario actually going to Denver after Denvers first pick.

as for...nevermind[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 09:14 PM

there wasn't?..sure there was...
and they had already picked up Nickoloz Tskitishvili

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 09:17 PM

they had Nik alright but Hilario hadn't been picked yet.

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 09:19 PM

no, they didn't have them yet..but the deal was already in place

Murphy3 · 06-26-2002, 09:20 PM

but...i can see how you would be confused... seeing as how you're getting a bit up in age [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Drbio · 06-26-2002, 09:23 PM

hahaha......whippersnapper

kg_veteran · 06-27-2002, 08:40 AM

I think Little Whistle really could be on the way to Colorado...

MFFL · 06-27-2002, 08:45 AM

<< I think Little Whistle really could be on the way to Colorado... >>

Hopefully not.

kg_veteran · 06-27-2002, 08:49 AM

I have to agree with you there.

I want him here for the expertise he brings to the table in player acquisition. I also want him here as the heir apparent when Nellie decides to hang it up.

Nellie · 06-27-2002, 10:03 AM

I definitely think Donnie is on his way out. I don't know if any of you watched the news coverage around 1030p right after we picked but they were interviewing Donnie and brought up Denver. Donnie seemed to have a glow in his eyes I thought when it was brought up. Kiki has definitely made the move intriguing for little whistle.

Drbio · 06-27-2002, 10:04 AM

Denver went in one night from a crappy team to a very nice team. Kiki deserves mega-props for those moves. He abused Leyden.

Nellie · 06-27-2002, 10:11 AM

<< Denver went in one night from a crappy team to a very nice team. Kiki deserves mega-props for those moves. He abused Leyden. >>

Very much so. Denver was bar none the biggest winner in the draft last night.

Murphy3 · 06-27-2002, 10:12 AM

houston was a pretty good winner..regardless of whether or not ming turns into anything anytime soon

Nellie · 06-27-2002, 10:18 AM

<< houston was a pretty good winner..regardless of whether or not ming turns into anything anytime soon >>

I agree with that.

Hoopsmeister · 06-27-2002, 11:03 AM

I agree as long as the 'very nice' is seen as potential. Denver isn't going to terrify anyone next year--but give Skita and Nene a year or two to develop and Denver is right back in the playoff hunt.

Nellie · 06-27-2002, 11:06 AM

<< Denver isn't going to terrify anyone next year--but give Skita and Nene a year or two to develop and Denver is right back in the playoff hunt. >>

Agreed and should have been clarified more clearly by myself regarding my "big winner" comment.
