<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Olowokandi's first choice is to be a Nugget. The free agent also is getting interest from Miami, and could hear from San Antonio if New Jersey guard Jason Kidd stays put. He hasn't scratched the Clippers off the list, either. Even so, the 7-foot, 270-pounder called the Nuggets his No. 1 team Tuesday. "(The Nuggets) are probably the main team I am looking at right now," Olowokandi said. "Obviously, it all depends on who is being brought in and what is being done. The Nuggets do want to win and are serious about winning. That's what I need and am looking for." Olowokandi is scheduled to meet with Nuggets officials this weekend in Los Angeles. Denver's summer league squad and team officials will be heading to Long Beach, Calif., for the Summer Pro League on Saturday. While playing with a sore left knee last season, Olowokandi averaged 12.3 points and 9.1 rebounds in 36 games. The top pick in the 1998 draft missed the final 2 1/2 months of the season after surgery to remove loose cartilage. Olowokandi visited Denver last summer before signing a one-year, $6 million contract. The Nuggets have $18 available for free agency. "He's a legitimate center," Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said. "There are very few legitimate centers out there." Olowokandi said he will prove he is an all-star caliber player, and the NBA's second-best center behind Shaquille O'Neal if healthy. The Nuggets have met with two other Clippers free agents, point guard Andre Miller and shooting guard Corey Maggette. </div>
