Spears Denver Post Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 07/13/2007 06:48:53 PM MDT Denver - Chucky Atkins kept a smile on his face while enduring an NBA-worst 22 win campaign with the Memphis Grizzlies last season. And now that his chances of winning are much greater with the Nuggets, the new starting point guard is smiling big for good reason now. The Nuggets signed Atkins to a two-year guaranteed deal today paying $3.2 million next season and $3.4 million in the 2008-09 season with a team option for a third season, according to sources. The eight-year NBA veteran arrived in Denver this morning to sign the contract and take a physical. The 5-foot -11, 185-pounder replaces Steve Blake at point guard and is expected to add 3-point shooting and leadership while joining Allen Iverson in the backcourt "Did you see what I went through last year? All that losing?" said Atkins in a phone interview. "I can't take that no more. I thought Denver was a perfect spot for me and how I play. They missed someone like me in the playoffs. Someone who can make shots. I think I fit in perfect." Atkins, 32, averaged 13.2 points and 4.6 assists in 75 game while shooting .379 percent from 3-point range last season with Memphis. The only Nugget who shot better from 3-point range last season was J.R. Smith (.390). The Orlan do native has also played for Detroit and Boston, in the Continental Basketball Association and in Croatia and has played in 35 NBA playoff games. Nuggets vice-president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien declined comment. "We definitely got the pieces to win it all," Atkins said. "The challenge for me is getting it to fit. I won't do like I did in Memphis and do all the scoring. I don't have to do it now. That's one of the reasons why I came here... "My whole thing with Denver is how well we focus. On 90 percent of the nights, we'll have the most talent. But how will we focus? That's where my veteran leadership comes in." -- 你被耍了每當我考試砍下八九十分,在考場隨心所欲地發揮拿下兩屆年級得分王你還真以為,那是我一個人干的? 不過,說真的考試是一群人的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 221.224.159.11 ※ 編輯: royshine 來自: 221.224.159.11 (07/14 09:22)
