The Nugs will do great. I'm thinking one of Philly's picks from Denver 
will be better than expected.  Can you Melo coming back in January and 
standing around watching AI take shot after bad shot? The next brawl 
involving Denver players may be at their practice facility.

As for our Celtics. . .WHEW!!! We dodged a bullet. I was really afraid 
the VCs running our team would revert to their natural state and go for 
the quick buck, banner17 be damned.  THANK YOU ISIAH!!!! 

However, the Sixers will be better off. They shed AI's enormous contract 
and the enormity of his personality and game,  get a good player in 
Miller, shed more money from their cap,  get more picks in a good draft, 
and a shot at Oden (assuming they don't become a playoff team post-AI).
