DerMarr Resigned at Last!

(Boulder-CO) So it finally has happened. The Denver Nuggets have inked DerMarr Johnson to an undisclosed contract. I caught wind of this yesterday, but wasn't going to make anything official till I saw it on www.nuggets.com. The Denver Nuggets now have 18 players on the roster, and as we all know, only 15 make the final cut. DerMarr has a lot of catching up to do with the Nuggets new offense, but I think that his previous chemistry with the team should accelerate the process. I didn't think DerMarr was going to make it back to the Nuggets this year, but I have found that when you're wrong. It is just best to admit it. Welcome back DerMarr, welcome back.

Well tymes, here is the thing. Anthony Carter is a great player. The only problem that I see is that he could potentially take away from Earl Boykins minutes at point. And we all know that Earl really can not play many other positions. So, if I was the GM, I would be thinking about this situation in the following ways.

First, you gotta see if anyone is looking for a guy like Earl and combo him with either a K-Mart, Najera, or even Linas for a big time shooting guard. This option keeps Anthony Carter around for the void left by Earl's departure and hopefully a 20 point scorer is also added.

The other option that I see is a little bit more complex. Especially with DerMarr back on the roster. Signing Anthony Carter to further boost the Nuggets back court wouldn't be a bad idea, but that means someone like Jamal Sampson or someone like that would have to get cut. The question I'll fire back at you is this; If Carter is signed, who do you think gets the snip?

Thanks for reading,
