The Marshall Plan

July 21st, 2009 CallItMileHigh 2 comments

Hypocrisy stands at the root of my issues with embattled Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall. His freakish strength and unparalleled ability to create plays after the catch do not mitigate his criminal record. It is the NFL’s duty to discipline Marshall when he steps out of line. As long as Marshall beats a criminal charge [...]

Go Get Gasol!

July 14th, 2009 CallItMileHigh 5 comments

As I mentioned in my mailbag a couple days ago (even before the Afflalo trade), the Nuggets should seriously consider making a run at Marc Gasol. The trade the Nuggets completed yesterday puts the team in an excellent position to land the 7’1” Baby Gasol. This would in turn put the Nuggets in an excellent [...]

Arron Afflalo: Defensive Genius

July 14th, 2009 CallItMileHigh 2 comments

Mark Warkentein treated Nuggets nation to a deep breath and moment of repose yesterday afternoon. The Nuggets upgraded and filled out their roster by acquiring SG Arron Afflalo and PF Walter Sharpe from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for a second-round draft pick. This trade is yet another savvy basketball and financial move by Mr. [...]

July 7th, 2009 CallItMileHigh 4 comments

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly pursuing unrestricted free agent PF Channing Frye. This is not the first time the Nuggets have considered acquiring Frye. Former Nuggets General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe was quite fond of the power forward following his rookie season with the New York Knicks in ’05-‘06. Considering Vandeweghe’s questionable personnel track record, it [...]

There Is Life After Rasheed

July 6th, 2009 CallItMileHigh 9 comments

The sweepstakes are over. The Nuggets lost. Or worse yet, perhaps they never tried.
Rasheed Wallace is set to a sign a new contract, but it will not make him a Denver Nugget. Wallace agreed to a 2-year deal worth the Mid-Level Exception with the Boston Celtics late last night. This is a bittersweet moment for [...]

Grant Hill: Great Guy, Bad Nugget…

July 2nd, 2009 CallItMileHigh 4 comments

Unrestricted free agent Grant Hill is a savvy veteran and has had a remarkable career, but this does not mean the Nuggets should pursue him this summer. Also, who else is out there besides ‘Sheed?

Where Do They Go From Here?

July 1st, 2009 CallItMileHigh 2 comments

The Denver Nuggets have some tough roster decisions to make in the coming months. The most crucial of which is whether or not to exceed the luxury tax line next season. This decision was made for the Nuggets last April when the team nearly made the NBA Finals. The Nuggets are oh so close to [...]

Perfect Point Guard?

June 25th, 2009 CallItMileHigh No comments

VCU’s Eric Maynor would be perfect for the Denver Nuggets. Two years of tutelage from Chauncey and Maynor would be ready to feed Anthony, kick out to JR, and drop floaters in the lane for the next decade.
Above all else, Maynor is clutch (check out his late game heroics against Tennessee and Duke at the [...]
