My friend you must be smokin dope if you think THAT is a good line up. 
Only player worth having is Ellis and he is very injury prone and a free
agent to boot!  Jackson not nearly as good as Billups with much less
upside.  Newman?  You have to be kidding.  Garrett?  can't score on the
worst team, worst front line in NBA.  Has giant contract, can't hold
Declerq.  Only good thing about Garrett is shot blocks but not nearly
worth this.  Come on Warwick if you really believe this was a good or
better trade you have to be a NUGGETS fan.  Troy
