Is Garcia worth $6m a year? Contracts have been inflating, mostly for those 12ppg, 3reb or 3 ast guys.

Apparently Tinsley's going to Denver for Chucky Atkins and Steven Hunter. I'm calling it right now, George Karl is going to be spotted drinking Jack Daniels on the bench during a game before Christmas.

Hah, I sure hope so (regarding Karl)...

And this deal hasn't been confirmed yet. Personally, I'm fine with it as a Nugs fan, but losing the only legit 7-footer on our roster isn't very wise considering who is in front of him. I hope they have some other trade/signing lined up for a legit C, because if/when K-Mart or Nene goes down, Birdman and Balkman will not cut it as Centers. I still hope they bring up Elton Brown from the d-league (guy's a beast on the boards), but he's a little undersized for C as well...
