Here is The Newest Nuggets Beat with Aaron Lopez Blog Entry on Former Nuggets and Coach Karl's Son Coby to play in Spain next season:
Coby Karl agrees to contract to play in Spain
submitted by Aaron Lopez 9-23-10Coby Karl’s basketball journey is headed back overseas.
Karl, the son of Nuggets coach George Karl, said Thursday he has agreed to a one-year contract with CB Granada of the Spanish ACB, one of the world’s top professional leagues.
Karl, a 27-year-old combo guard, signed with the Nuggets on April 11 but did not appear in any regular-season or playoff games. After averaging 14 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists for Denver’s summer league team in Las Vegas, he was waived on Aug. 15.
“I don’t think it’s by any means having the (NBA) dream end,” he said. “I think it’s a process and a step. It’s been frustrating at times, but I’m very happy with where I am as player right now. I’m getting better and I still think there will be an opportunity in the future.”
After going undrafted out of Boise State in 2007, Karl has bounced between the NBA, the NBA Development League and the Spanish ACB. He has averaged 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 24 career games with the Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
Karl has shown that he has the skills and basketball IQ to play in the NBA – he had 12 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Golden State on Feb. 2 – but he’s never been given a chance to play consistent minutes.
“You’re never going to change people’s minds that have impressions. It just takes one guy to like you,” he said. “It’s a game that you have to have patience and wait for the opportunity.”
After validating his talent in summer-league play, Karl returned to Denver to work on his perimeter shot and improve his overall game. Unable to find a suitable opportunity at an NBA training camp, he opted for the guaranteed contract in Spain, where the experience and exposure are invaluable while competing against NBA-caliber players such as Ricky Rubio, Jorge Garbajosa and Juan Carlos Navarro.
“I think Coby has done a great job with his career,” George Karl said. “I’m very proud of him. I wish I could see him play here in the NBA, but I think more realistic is he’ll play a lot of minutes in Spain. In the last couple years, the game of basketball hasn’t given back to him what I think he’s deserved, and maybe he’ll find that in Spain.”
Here is the SI.com Article on Nets in talks to acquire Carmelo:
The Nets are "deeply into" trade discussions with Denver, Utah and Charlotte that would bring Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey, an executive briefed on the talks told SI.com on Friday.
The four-team deal has "many moving parts," the executive said, but Denver would receive No. 3 pick Derrick Favors from New Jersey and multiple draft picks. ESPN.com reported that Denver would also get forward Andrei Kirilenko from Utah, while Charlotte would get point guard Devin Harris from New Jersey and the Jazz would obtain forward Boris Diaw from the Bobcats.
A potential holdup is Anthony's willingness to accept a contract extension with New Jersey. The source said Anthony's refusal to do so would be "a deal breaker." Anthony, who has declined to sign Denver's three-year, $65 million extension offer, can become a free agent after this season.
The executive said the deal was not imminent.
Denver is said to want young players, draft picks and salary-cap flexibility in a trade for Anthony. The Knicks have long been considered Anthony's preferred destination, but New York lacks draft picks to include in a package. Anthony also favors a trade to another big market, Chicago, but the Bulls are reportedly reluctant to part with Joakim Noah, one of their best assets as a 25-year-old big man who averaged 10.7 points and 11 rebounds last season.
Anthony, 26, has spent his entire seven-year career in Denver, averaging 24.7 points and 6.2 rebounds and making the All-Star team three times. The Nuggets reached the Western Conference finals in 2009, but they've lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of Anthony's other six seasons.
The Nets, flush with cap space and coming off a 12-win season, failed to make a big splash in free agency under their new owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, during an offseason in which they also hired Avery Johnson as coach and drafted 19-year-old power forward Favors. Instead, the Nets signed complementary players such as forward Travis Outlaw and guards Anthony Morrow and Jordan Farmar, and they acquired power forward Troy Murphy from Indiana as part of a four-team trade.
