Nuggets Pre-Season Presser

To paraphrase Charlie Kelly on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia:
"Come one, come all, to a beautiful show! It's gonna be awesome and... some other stuff. Dee dee dee dee doo dee dee dee doo dee dee doo dee. Heh heh. Some other musical stuff!"

What he ended up making was fun and entertaining, but not of fine art, and didn't accomplish his actual goals. BUT. He was on a fictional TV show, and the purpose of that show was to be fun and entertaining. So in some inception-like way, he actually did accomplish his goal.

For whatever reason when I started to think about this year's team, last year's team. I was reminded of that. Sure, my goal is to win another ring to hold over Josh's head (as I'm sure is his goal as well), but ultimately this is a game, I want it to be fun and entertaining.

So I was happy to make the playoffs, I made the Burt Gibson move even though I probably didn't HAVE to and it put me in the tax. But it was also for a better team this year, which I think I have.

This year I think I'll have a fun entertaining team. It'll get me to the playoffs, and I have so many versatile pieces that mixing and matching lineups will be fun and entertaining. So I'm getting the job done.

We return a pretty similar roster, but we added Jordan Johnson and Miguel Thomas, who are going to play big minutes. Cornett and Bey got a little better, most of our vets got a little worse, and so with the two additions we should be just a little better than the team that lost in the conference finals. Which is...pretty good. But even if not, it's my first year as co-commissioner and that'll take a lot of focus, but I hope to have a fun competition against JNR for the division, make the playoffs, and go as far as we can.

Are you enjoying you commish duties? How long do you see yourself being a commish and helping keep this league afloat?

Enjoying? Haha, no I'm happy to keep the league up, and it does feel good to do my part, but it's tough with work and family. That said, I'll keep doing it as long as I can / people want to play!

If you had to assign a FRIENDS main character to each one of your starters, who would they be?

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: Have you learned anything so far as Commissioner that would be helpful advice for someone like me, your average, everyday GM?

Love this question.

C- Miguel Thomas - Phoebe - Putting in the workman-like defensive minutes while the other starters dominate the O, I think it's a very Phoebe thing.
PF- Ben Franklin - Chandler - No one is sure exactly what he does, but definitely important
SF- Jordan Johnson - Ross - Boring but effective, needed
SG- Norris Turney - Monica - Leading lady/man miscast, as Courtney Cox is no secondary character, and neither is Turney, but you kinda forget about him amongst the stars
PG- Burt Gibson - Rachel - It girl
6th - Bey - Joey - HOW YOU DOIN

It works pretty much how it seems it works, but the attention to detail you need to make sure everyone is following the rules is...man, it's hard. That's the hardest part.

So hey, average, everyday GM. Please follow the rules.

You are a bit better than last year, and you made it far last year. The Spurs are still there, and the Suns and Bucks have stepped up as well. Do you think you can beat these teams??

I think I’m better than the bucks. The 76ers, Spurs, and Suns, and maybe the Thunder are probably better on paper than I am. But as they say, the game isn’t played on paper. I mean, I guess this game is. Whoooooopz

Random Reporter: What kind of production do you expect to get from Saddiq Bey this season, as the team focus has notably shifted away from rebuilding around him?

He’s our scoring punch off the bench. He could absolutely start on this team, but I think he’s 6MOTY material off the bench and he’s going to be real trouble for second units around the league
