I guess Cruise Control is like - Okay?

Or maybe I have that new-fangled adaptive cruise control.

So, what's changed from last year? I mean...nothing really. I'm still disappointed I can't put more time in, I'd still totally consider stepping away were there a GM ready to take the reins. I probably can't put together a championship team with my level of engagement, but I guess it's still possible to put together a pretty good team and win a playoff series here and there. So here I am still.

The team, It's Turney and Campbell's team. They are real good. Campbell looks like he's making good on his potential, and despite it feeling like he's been in the league for a decade, he's still only 25 and coming off his first (of hopefully many) all-star appearances. Turney is still going.

I really like Kraig Cornett. I really really like him. I think he has a chance to be the long-term solution at Center, and if he were given starting minutes, I think he'd score 20+. But I'm pairing him with Bonnett, simply because I think he fits the starting group a little better, with Cornett playing big minutes off the bench as the offensive juggernaut of the second unit.

Fox is a guy who's been great forever, but we're merely asking for good, and if he can squeeze out one more GREAT season, this team has a pretty solid ceiling.

Sanchez can run the point and doesn't take shots from our high-volume guys. I like our bench, though I would have much preferred a little higher-end depth, we can go to war with this group. If I can put in enough focus to figure out the gameplan, and if we can have a little better injury luck, I think we can challenge for the 3 seed (ain't no one catching the Bulls in the division, unfortunately).

Do you see Danny Campbell possibly being a trade candidate or will he be a Nugget long-term?

What are you looking for in De'Aaron Fox this season?

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: Aside from Kornett, what is the Nuggets second unit going to look like on opening day?

I can’t imagine getting an offer that would make me part with Campbell, though I’m excited to see the league try!

Fox is the 3rd banana, hopefully without having to shoulder the load he can stay pretty efficient and also be a point-forward dishing out assists to our front court.

We obviously don’t have the best depth in the world especially in the backcourt. So we’ll play our starters big minutes and hope that this veteran crew can hold up over the whole season.

But Paugh, Trinkle, Dodge are all gonna see some minutes and hopefully be at least serviceable.

If you're on Cruise control does that mean that mean that you're on the Highway to the Danger Zone?
