    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Denver Post - Former NBA star Shawn Kemp's agent plans on calling a handful of teams - including the Nuggets - to gauge their interest.

    Kemp's agent, Tony Dutt, said he believes Denver could be a good fit because his client had his best years under Nuggets coach George Karl in Seattle. With Nene out for the season with a right knee injury and Kenyon Martin suffering from tendinitis in his right knee, another frontcourt player could aid Denver. But to add a free agent, the Nuggets would have to waive a player.

    "Shawn told me he has had no problems with Karl and he could play there," Dutt said.

    Kemp played for the SuperSonics from 1989-97. The five-time all-star also played for Cleveland, Portland and Orlando before ending his career in 2003. He has a history of weight issues and off-the-court problems. The Nuggets worked him out two years ago, but Kemp was grossly overweight and didn't have a solid outing. Dutt says Kemp now weighs about 270 pounds.

    "That was a real wake-up call that if you're going to try to return, really do it right," Dutt said of the workout with the Nuggets.</div>

    If the Nuggets are looking for frontcourt players, they would be better off signing an undrafted free agent or something. A player that at least has the potential to get better.

    how much will he ask for money wise cause i cant see theyre team management paying anything close to nba money for his services.once u leave the game ,the way the nba changes its almost impossible to make a comback. only people that work hard and put in 150% effort have a chance and from past experience that is not the kinda person kemp is.
