Prediction: Nuggets will be Horrible

The embattled Denver Nuggets have entered training camp with a myriad of questions about who will be with the team. Last weekend, Carmelo Anthony was on the verge of being traded to the Nets in a 4-team megadeal that never came to fruition. Thus, the disgruntled Anthony entered training camp as a Nugget. He has yet to sign a $65 mil extension that the Nuggets have offered and doesn't seem thrilled to be in Denver this fall. At media day he said:

I'm here today. Whatever the future holds, it holds. I'm leaving my options open right now.

He sure sounds ready to make a championship run! Melo isn't the only Nugget disappointed with the front office. Kenyon Martin has said he is disappointed that he wasn't offered an extension this summer while Al Harrington, who plays Martin's position, signed a 5 year, $35 mil deal. Perhaps as payback, Martin said he will not rush back from knee surgery.

Who knows what J.R. Smith's state of mind is. He is entering a contract year and will surly try to put up gaudy numbers with a horrible shot selection and at the expense of a few Ws.

Coach George Karl will try to bring all the Nuggets' egos together and make a run in the playoffs. However, he will likely watch on the sidelines as Melo complains he is fouled after taking an unnecessary shot, Smith takes another contested three, and K-Mart's tattoos continue to be more intriguing than his play.

Time to blow it up.
