Anthony Carter signed earlier this week for the veteran minimum, about 1.3 million.  After trying to get a multi-year deal from the Nuggets, he realized that Denver is the only team in the league that even wants him and the fact that he gets 20 minutes a game is a miracle.  He brings his toughness, play making, and not to mention a “silky smooth jump shot.”  He’s not terrible but he has no upside and Lawson should be getting the bulk of the minutes while Chauncey is on the bench.

Kleiza is getting around $10 million a year, compared to the 2.7 million the Nuggets were offering so he’s making the right move.  Once Europe realizes he plays no defense and can’t make a jump shot, they are going to realize the mistake.  Von Wafer on the other hand is going to try and prove that he is a legit scorer.  I don’t know how well his style of non-passing will work in Europe, where fundamentals and ball movement are the norm.

While I will miss the Lithuanian, his hustle, and his great fans that fill up a section at least 3 times a year, I wish him good luck in Greece.  He’ll probably be back in the league in a few years, and hopefully the time overseas will serve him well.
