    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bonzi Wells turned down a five- year, $36 million offer. Now he's eyeing the Nuggets, who are concerned about the luxury tax.
    It doesn't appear to be a merger with a good chance of happening. But both sides are looking into it.

    William Phillips, Wells' agent, said Wednesday he has had discussions with the Nuggets this week about the free agent shooting guard. Wells recently rejected a deal to return to Sacramento at a starting salary of about $6 million.

    "It's just as strong as from the beginning (of free agency)," Phillips said of the Nuggets' interest in Wells. "We're focusing on a sign- and-trade."

    Phillips wouldn't name players who have been discussed. Nuggets director of player personnel Mark Warkentien declined comment.

    The Nuggets wouldn't mind trying to get Wells for a one-year, low- dollar deal, giving him a chance to test the market again next year. </div>

    That would be a huge pick up for Denver as long as they don't give up too much. They've been looking for a good 2 guard for years now and he should be the answer.

    If they get him and kmart starts being mature than the nuggets will make a great run in the playoffs next year. Especially with what team USA is saying about carmelo.

    He would help the Nuggets out a lot.. He will be a good starting 2 for them with Melo at 3.
