    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While he expected a quiet weekend, Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said his team is continuing its search for a swingman.

    With a majority of the A-list free agents spoken for, Denver will have to look hard to find a player to fit that bill and has about $2.4 million in salary-cap space left to do it. Vandeweghe was in California late last week, where he met with Dan Fegan, the agent for Nuggets forward Rodney White. White, a free agent, is getting interest from New York and Sacramento. Vandeweghe did not name other agents on his West Coast agenda, though he did say he has spoken "a couple of times" with Arn Tellem, who represents Nuggets free-agent guard Jon Barry.


    Barry said Saturday he has not talked to his agent or the Nuggets lately. The 12-year NBA veteran said the Los Angeles Clippers still are interested despite acquiring guard Kerry Kittles from New Jersey. Barry said the Atlanta Hawks may be interested once Golden State free-agent center Erick Dampier's situation is determined.

    "I don't know what's going on as far as the Nuggets," Barry said. "They have a long list of guys."

    The top free-agent prospects who could fill Denver's need include Chicago guard Jamal Crawford and Portland swingman Darius Miles. But in order to afford either, the Nuggets likely would have to work out a sign-and-trade deal. The Bulls have had ongoing talks with New York about a potential sign-and-trade for Crawford.</div>

    I say just re-sign Rodney White if they can't work anything out.

    They should try and do a deal with the Sixers where they get Korver. A great 3 point specialist. Hell fit nicely even though they have Voshon Lenard already.

    we dont need korver but we do need a defensive specialist or just an all around solid shooting gaurd but unfortuantly there isnt a good defensive specialist out there now that hassel resigned so i think we needto go for D Miles hes a mid level player who will help give the nuggets an idenity if K mart hasnt done that already

    What about Wesley Person? I honestly think Anthony Peeler would've been a nice fit for yalls team...or even if u re-sign Rodney White and give him a chance to mature and grow...
