Mike James an assest in last year's Fantasy will team up with KG

**Eismann** · July 12th, 2006 10:56 AM

Wolves' stock up a bit with the Mike James committing to them. James and Ricky Davis will be a high scoring backcourt to complement KG and rookie Randy Foye will provide the bench points together with Troy Hudson. Now all they need is a defense minded center to patrol the lane.

Hmm, now they have 3 legitimate scorers with 2 guys able to slash... A couple more pieces off-the-bench and the Wolves should be OK...

parang downgrade (talentwise) from cassell and sprewell si davis and james...
sana maging factor si Foye

well, you have to factor age as well...

with Rashard McCants likely out for the season, Foye will get some burn.

**zidane21** · July 12th, 2006 02:41 PM

but still without a clutch performer (except for sole KG)... let's just watch their game and see...

Melo: Iverson trade is OK
Anthony would welcome deal for 76ers standout

Lakewood - One of the young campers walked up to the Nuggets star, shook his hand and got right to the point Monday at the end of The Carmelo Anthony Youth Basketball Camp.

"You want A.I.?" said the kid at the Gold Crown Field House.

"Yeah," Anthony said. "Do you like Allen Iverson?"

"I like him. You and him are my favorite players," the camper said.

The Nuggets are in the midst of numerous trade rumors. About the only thing that seems safe is Anthony will be in uniform next season and will sign a five-year, $79 million contract extension Wednesday.

But of all the trade rumors, the one that seems to be causing the most stir is the possibility of adding Iverson, the Philadelphia 76ers' star. Anthony played with Iverson on the United States' 2004 Athens Olympics bronze-medal team, considers him a friend and talked to him recently.

"He said he didn't know what they were saying on his end," Anthony said. "He doesn't want to say something about one thing when it could be another thing. I played with A.I. in the Olympics. I know what kind of player and person he is."

Anthony was eighth in the NBA in scoring last season, averaging 26.5 points, while Iverson was second at 33.0. But Anthony believes he and Iverson could coexist on offense.

"Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker made it work (in Boston)," Anthony said. "Kobe (Bryant) and (Shaquille O'Neal) made it work with (the Los Angeles Lakers)...well, at first. We can make it work."

Anthony said he has heard trade rumors about Nuggets guard Andre Miller and either big man Marcus Camby, Nene or Kenyon Martin being included in a deal for Iverson. But Anthony said he has heard Camby's name the most but would hate to see Camby, who led the league in blocks per game last season, go.

"You rarely find big men like that who can block shots," Anthony said. "Regardless to his injury status, you can't find big men like that."

The forward, who just finished his third season in Denver, is antsy about the potential roster changes.

"It makes me nervous," said Anthony, who has been working out for two hours daily to prepare for the upcoming USA Basketball training camp. "I don't know what's going to happen. We should just do something and get it over with or focus on what we need."

Anthony said he was looking forward to signing his contract extension. The Baltimore product is scheduled to speak to the media about his new deal at his camp that day.

"It's like a dream come true," Anthony said. "When I was growing up, Big Dog (former NBA player Glenn Robinson) was getting $100 million, Jason Kidd was getting $80 million. You dream about that."

Anthony's full camp drew about 600 kids, and he gave 40 scholarships through the non-profit Family Resource Centers to kids ages 9-17 in Denver and Washington and Yuma counties. After Monday afternoon's session, he signed autographs, posed for pictures, answered questions, gave high-fives and played 1-on-5 with the kids.

"I thought this was a good first day," Anthony said to the coaches working the camp.
