Marc Stein with some Nuggets rumors (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=Chatter-090701)
Keep in mind these are all rumors:
Nuggets looking at Grant Hill:
Fresh off a trip to the Western Conference finals, Denver keeps coming up as a team hot for Hill, who earned less than $4 million over the past two seasons with the Suns.
Andersen could come to verbal agreement soon:
The vibe I'm getting already is that the Nuggets should be able to secure a verbal commitment from Chris Andersen on a new contract -- their first shot-blocker off the bench and the most popular Nugget not named Chauncey or Carmelo -- in fairly fast fashion.
Kleiza to the Cavs?
... there's a fair bit of belief in Ohio that it would be better to add more of a rangy 3/4 type to counter the likes of Lamar Odom and Rashard Lewis -- someone like Villanueva or the more affordable Linas Kleiza -- than Rasheed Wallace or Antonio McDyess.
Cleveland, though, can offer only a contract starting at full midlevel (at roughly $5.6 million).
