Nuggets in advanced discussions for Speights
According to David Aldridge of NBA.com the Nuggets have explored the possibility of sending a second-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers for 6-10 center, Marreese Speights. The deal is currently on hold until Denver further understands the future of Nene, but chances are that should he not return, seeing Speights in a Nuggets uniform is highly likely. Stay tuned as more information continues to proliferate.
Free Agency Digest: Day Two
For those that followed our last installment yesterday, this is more of the same. News and commentary updated here as it comes out. Feel free to follow Jeremy, Kalen and Charlie on twitter to find out when we post an update. Not to get anyone’s hopes up but rumors are out that more decisions are expected today, particularly in the case of Nene to the New Jersey Nets.
Free Agency Digest: Day One
Free Agency hasn’t started yet, but that has caused no shortage of drama in what is sure to be the craziest NBA offseason ever. By now you’ve all heard news of the Chris Paul deal that wasn’t. The league office will open for business at 12pm MST today and it will be very interesting to see how fast the frenzy will unfold one day after the infamous Veto. This post will be updated with any Nuggets developments and our thoughts on them, so check back throughout the day.

Amick: Nene re-signing with the Nuggets, “possible”
In a recent article for SI.com, Sam Amick revealed information regarding Nene’s willingness to re-sign with the Nuggets that seems contrary to popular belief. According to Amick, “a source with knowledge of the situation said the prospect of Nene returning to Denver remains entirely possible — if not probable.” He later goes on to point out how the discrepancy between what Nene would earn on the open market and what he would earn be re-signing with Denver is clearly enough motivation for the 6-11 center to forgive and forget past misunderstanding with the Nuggets.
Maybe Masai was able to cajole Nene with his superpower GM skills we’re all so familiar with? Maybe Nene just finally realized that forgoing so much money over damaged feelings isn’t worth it? Who knows. Bottom line: Things might be looking up for the Nuggets yet again under Masai’s watch, but as always these types of situations are fluid, so stay tuned for more updates. And please do read that article as it brings a lot of valid points to the table that Nuggets fans should understand about Nene’s situation.
CBSSports.com attempting to ruin Nuggets’ dream offseason
Two reports filed in the last 24 hours by CBSSports.com are undoubtedly heartbreaking for Nuggets Nation. First, Royce Young published this article claiming — contrary to owner, Michael Heisley’s earlier statements last season — that the Grizzlies will match any contract offer presented to Marc Gasol, according to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Today, Ken Berger is reporting that, “One of the surest bets of the soon-to-begin 2011 NBA free-agent period is that Nene wants out of Denver.” Berger later goes on to state how Dallas and Miami are on top of Nene’s wishlist, but due to neither team having enough cap room to sign the 29-year-old free agent, a sign-and-trade would have to be completed in order to finalize the deal.
J.R. Smith officially signs in China
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, J.R. Smith has signed a one-year deal with Zhejiang Wanma of the China Basketball Association. Smith was supposedly close to reaching a deal with Shanxi but the team backed out during the final stages of the negotiation process. The earliest Smith can now return to the NBA is March. Stay tuned for further details as more information emerges.
Nuggets select Faried, my life is now complete [UPDATED]
Words can’t even begin to describe how I feel right now. I’ll have a more detailed post up later tonight but for now Nuggets fans, just appriciate Masai. He’s… ugh… he’s brilliant. This is so gratifying, knowing Faried has been Roundball’s guy since Day 1, and for this moment to finally come to fruition — it’s unbelievable. By the way, we traded Felton to the Blazers for Andre Miller and in the process we got the 26th pick in the Draft from Dallas. This is heaven.
Andy Katz has just reported that the 26th pick, which ended up being Jordan Hamilton, will actually go to the Blazers for Rudy Fernandez. If this is true, then what exactly did Denver get by trading Felton? The only thing I can think of is maybe part of the deal was the Blazers had to pass on Faried so that we could have him.
[SUPER UPDATE] This via Benjamin Hochman via Twitter:
from what i’ve been told – dal trades hamilton to por for rudy f. then, por includes hamilton, with andre miller, to den for felton
This makes much more sense when you think about it. Felton carries way more value than Miller, so it only seems right that we get something back in return.
[SUPER-DUPER UPDATE]
two sources have now confirmed to me that YES, the #Nuggets get Hamilton.
Nuggets Draft Kenneth Faried, Hopefully to Keep Him
The Denver Nuggets have drafted Kenneth Faried, the rebounding force of nature from Morehead State. The also traded Raymond Felton to the Portland Trail Blazers at roughly the same time. There were some reports that the Nuggets were swapping picks with the Blazers as part of the deal which would mean that the Nuggets would receive Nolan Smith, PG out of Duke and Faried would go to the Blazers.
However, it does appear the Nuggets will be Keeping Faried and they have also acquired the 26th pick from the Mavericks.
The question is did they acquire Andre Miller as a money saving option thanks to the team option, to play him along with Ty Lawson or to move his non-guaranteed deal for something else?
Stay tuned for more details.
