Nuggets assistant Dunlap leaving for Arizona Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Denver Nuggets assistant coach Mike Dunlap
resigned on Thursday to take an assistant position with the University of
Arizona.
"Mike has been an invaluable resource to my staff," said Nuggets head coach
George Karl. "Coach Olson is getting one of the top minds in basketball and
we'll miss him greatly. We wish him the best of luck at Arizona, where we know
he will be very successful."
Dunlap joined the Nuggets as an assistant coach prior to the 2006-07 season
and was party to a 95-69 (.579) record over his two seasons.
There was a rumored deal that had Carmelo Anthony ending up as a New Jersey Net but those talks appear to be dead, according to the Rockey Mountain News.
Our View:Apparently there were "exploratory" talks about sending Anthony and Marcus Camby to the Nets, possibly in exchange for a package that included Richard Jefferson, but the deal is dead long before anything substantial even had a chance of happening.
Marcus Camby has landed on the NBA All-Defensive Team, according to the AP.
Our View:Camby only scored 9.1 points per game, but earned the honor by leading the NBA with 3.6 blocks per game, and finishing second with 13.1 boards per contest. He also registered 1.1 steals per game.
Tests have shown that Carmelo Anthony's blood alcohol level was over the legal limit when he was arrested for driving under the influence on April 14. Attorney Dan Recht tells ESPN.com, "This is old news in that Carmelo has admitted from the beginning that he had been drinking and driving and he should not have been." Anthony is due in court on May 14.
Our View:We're not sure what sort of punishment the Nuggets or the NBA might impose on Anthony, but we doubt it will affect his 2008-09 fantasy value much, if at all.
