I'd call it a pretty strong level.'' The Nuggets will not be able to offer Jaric any more than the midlevel exception of about $5 million. The Clippers are allowed to match any offer.</div> Source

The Nuggets have scheduled a meeting with Jaric on Tuesday. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rocky Mountain News - Seeking to bolster their backcourt, the Denver Nuggets tentatively are scheduled to meet with restricted free agent Marko Jaric on Tuesday at the Pepsi Center. Jaric, a 6-foot-7, 217-pound combo guard, would be the first free agent to visit Denver since the recruiting period began July 1. Not that the Nuggets haven't been busy. General manager Kiki Vandeweghe last week decided not to buy out the contract of veteran Voshon Lenard, and he has been working the phones in search of options. In addition to Jaric, the Nuggets also have expressed interest in Seattle SuperSonics free agent Ronald Murray and Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Latrell Sprewell. Denver has its $5 million midlevel exception available as well as a $1.7 million exception. Jaric probably would command the $5 million first-year salary.</div> Source
