Fact proved, Jackson was indeed stronger than Hollins and more adaptable.
The Nuggets' operations last summer ultimately ended in failure.
The playoffs are ultimately a stage for stars; relying on egalitarian team basketball just doesn't win games.
The Iguodala they picked also proved to be utterly unable to handle the responsibility of leading; he is only fit to be a second or even a third option.
However, this can't all be blamed on the management; Denver is a small market, and aside from their self-drafted Mutombo and Anthony, there hasn't been much star power in the past two decades.
Unless they draft the next core player like the Thunders did, succeeding through free agency and trades is highly unlikely.
Or perhaps, they could replicate the path taken by the Grizzlies, trading for a "Hansen" could work too.
But where does the league find another Hansen?
Yet, there is a second Green.
