Dahntay Jones signs with the Nuggets

It's nice to see Dahntay Jones sign with the Nuggets. He's a good guy who showed some flashes for the Kings last year and plays a physical style. We've had discussions that physical energy guys like Matt Barnes and Mo Evans and Jones often seem to get shipped out of town for some reason, and afterwards we always complain about how soft we are. Anyway, Jones is guaranteed just under $1 million for one season. I hope he gets a decent chance to show what he can do. (This is

Barnes and Evans

are working on their sixth team in six years (each!). Hopefully Jones can find a home with the Nugs.

Matt Barnes wasn't cut like Dahntay Jones was

He was traded to the Sixers along with Chris Webber. (Personally I wish it hadn’t been so, but that’s the way it was.)

Seemed like a good guy

Obviously a real athlete (with no jumpshot)

I wish him the best!

I still don't understand

Why we let Dahntay Jones, or Justin Williams go. They both play with such high intensity and are so fun to watch. But then again I don’t sit at every (or any for that matter) Practice, team-function, etc.

We had to take on

3 players for Bibby to make the salaries match, and you can’t have more than 15 players under contract during the season, so we had to cut 2 players and they were the only one’s without guaranteed contracts. Though I guess we could have cut Beno. There really was no choice. And look at our roster now. We’ve got 15 again, so who’d you cut loose to keep them around now? No room for any more end of the bench guys.

Dkons has the marginal talent player crush

You respect a guy like Jones for going after his dream that when it doesn’t come true consistently it irritates you.
