As of 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, the Nuggets — along with every other team in the NBA — are free to negotiate with free agents. But given that the Nuggets are over the NBA's salary cap, don't expect a lot of movement this summer unless the team carves out salary-cap space through trades. And the deals they do want to get done may take a bit of time. Free agents can sign contracts they agree to starting July 9. Topping the Nuggets' to-do list is re-signing guards Jameer Nelson and Will Barton. Both played a huge role in stabilizing things on and off the court for a Nuggets team going through a turbulent season until early March, when coach Brian Shaw was fired. Nelson's situation is the most complicated. His own words at the end of the Nuggets' season explain why: "Whatever I decide, I'll definitely discuss with that team what my role would be," said Nelson after the last game of the regular season. "I feel like I'm definitely more than a 15- or 18-minute guy, for sure." - See more at:http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/c...priorities?source=skipframe-prosportsdaily.co
