Well, at the end of every preseason, it has to be done. The Denver Nuggets have cut the needed players to start the 2008-2009 NBA season.
Two journeymen guards and three forwards weren't able to make the cut on the Denver Nuggets roster this season, some of which have struggled to stay on a team in the NBA during their entire professional basketball career.
Here are the players that coach George Karl felt needed to be sent packing:
Former NCAA champion in 2000 in Michigan State's Mateen Cleaves. Ex-Lakers point guard who has been in nothing but trouble since leaving Los Angeles in point guard Smush Parker. Forwards Nick Fazekas, James Mays and supposed Kobe-stopper Ruben Patterson.
As you can see, these five that got cut weren't exactly all stars. Patterson was probably the only one that could have contributed, but he wouldn't have gotten much playing time behind Carmelo Anthony and the seven other forwards on the squad.
