So although it may sound crazy, Nick Van Exel on Thursday said he would consider a second tour of duty with the Nuggets after the Portland Trail Blazers waived him Wednesday. "Of course I would consider Denver," Van Exel said. "They are a team on the rise. They are doing good things. But it would be a little odd." After tiring of losing during the 2001-02 season, Van Exel asked Nuggets management to trade him. The final season of Van Exel's contract was guaranteed at $12.8 million for 2005-06.
