"With free agency set to begin, Saturday figures to be a big day for Nene. But it won't be the day's biggest happening for the Nuggets big man.
Nene, who will be a restricted free agent, is getting married in his native Brazil. After the wedding, he will fly to Los Angeles, where his agent, Dan Fegan, is based."
"
Nene is expected to be given a long look by several teams, including the Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors. Nene can have any offer sheet matched by the Nuggets within seven days and likely will command a contract worth about $10 million a year."
"(Sam) Cassell, a Los Angeles Clippers guard who will become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, reiterated he will consider the Nuggets. He first expressed interest in April, when the Clippers played the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. "Yeah," said Cassell, who played with Nuggets coach George Karl in Milwaukee from 1999 to 2002-03. "George is the coach, so I'm interested. . . . (Carmelo Anthony) is on the way up. We're on friendly terms. And George speaks for itself."
"
(George) Karl doesn't deny the Nuggets will take a look at Sacramento Kings shooting guard Bonzi Wells. Other free-agent guards who could get calls from the Nuggets include Ronald Murray of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Matt Harpring of the Utah Jazz and Fred Jones of the Pacers (restricted)."
