As this newly declared “seasonal” blog comes to a close, I will highlight the off season moves that I feel necessary for the Nuggs to continue to be a force in the West. With that said, this should definitely be an interesting off season for the Nuggets. From free agents to coaches to superstars, there is a lot to be considered for the team this summer.
First of all, there is a rumor going around the sports world that Allen Iverson, aka A.I., the Answer, etc, you might have heard of him, might not be a Nugget come next season. The 2008-2009 season is defined as an “opt out” year for A.I.’s $19,012,000 contract, which means that he can leave and go somewhere else if he wants to. And give Kroenke the $20 million in cap space to make other moves.
It also means that he can opt out and resign with the Nuggs, but it would probably be for a little more scratch, probably an extra $1 million some experts speculate. I love the guy, and would hate to see him go, but he might just go for the dough, especially since he has proven to team owners in his years in Philly that he can take a bunch of scrubs to the second round of the playoffs all by himself. A feat he was unable to do with the Nuggets, unfortunately.
That is just one thing to consider for the team during this off season. Other moves to consider:
1. Resign J.R., da rainmaker?
2. Trade K-Mart for cap room?
3. Fire Coach Karl?
Stay tuned for updates, nugg-o-maniac’s.
