Update: Van Horn's agent, David Faulk said on Wednesday that he is going to have a "summit meeting" with his client about his future during the second week in August, and the future could include the Nuggets, the Rocky Mountain News reports.
Recommendation: "I don't think there's any question I want a shooting big (man) next year," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "We need somebody to get people off (Carmelo Anthony). I would lean more toward a veteran. (Van Horn) has got to be one or two on that list. Faulk said it helps the Nuggets' cause that Van Horn lives in Evergreen, Colorado. However, Van Horn would have to take a big pay cut to play with the Nuggets. The Nuggets don't appear willing to pay Van Horn much more than $2 million because the team's salary cap number is close to the luxury tax figure of $65.4 million. Van Horn made $15.7 million in the final year of a max contract with the Mavericks last season, but is not expected to get paid nearly that much as a free agent.
