Nuggets lose Buckner to Mavs
The Nuggets have an all-points bulletin out for 3-point shooters. Their search got a little harder early this morning when their free agent guard, Greg Buckner, agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks. Buckner will receive at least three years guaranteed, with the two sides working on details for two more years. .
"I'm happy," Buckner said today. "It was my first choice to go to Dallas. It's crazy it worked out."
Aside from serving as a defensive specialist, the two-guard represented Denver's top perimeter threat on a team that finished last in the NBA in 3-point shooting last season. Buckner's .354 3-point percentage may not have been phenomenal, but his 86 threes easily led the team.
Buckner spent two years in Denver after arriving from Philadelphia before the 2004-05 season. He averaged 6.7 points per game last year.
But with the Nuggets having committed approximately $140 million to Carmelo Anthony and Nene this summer, Buckner said he and his agent agreed that his return would be a longshot.
"My time in Denver was great. It got me out of a bad situation with Philly," he said. "They wanted to take
care of their young kids. I thought it was going to work out that way. You have to take care of Melo and Nene. There wasn't much money left."
Buckner also looked at a Dallas team that reached the NBA finals in June and said he sees a good chance at winning a championship. He said coach Avery Johnson described a team culture where the players work hard but have fun.
"He said I bring a need, someone who can shoot from the outside, be a threat," Buckner said. "Basically, the same thing I was in Denver a defensive stopper."

How much? I guess this isn't the MLE...?
As unimpressive as this move is, for raiding the Nuggets, Buckner >>>>> Elson
it can not be the lle since it is 3 years
If it's three years guaranteed, it has to be money from the MLE. LLE and minimum deals can only be two years in length.
Looks like Dallas knows they can't pull a top (or middle tier) free agent with the full MLE.
In other news, the Spurs are still sitting on their hands and haven't even attempted to sign a RFA.
No one has.In other news, the Spurs are still sitting on their hands and haven't even attempted to sign a RFA.
According to Nellie Jr it would take part of the MLE...
So, in theory, we could outbid the Mavericks for Francisco Elson....
^ go for it we dont want him
mavfan wouldn't know a joke if it owned his team.
Oh i'm sorry, was that supposed to be funny?
HAHAHA LMAO ChumpDumper you are HILARIOUS!!!!!

I like Buckner. He plays good D, and will help Dallas make up for the loss of Adrian Griffin.
happy day for Nuggets fans! Buck sucks and is no team player
More like outbidding the Suns. Apparantly the Suns have some interest in Elson too.
Hmm...We have a 3 pt shooter we will move Denver, his name is Brent Barry.The Nuggets have an all-points bulletin out for 3-point shooters. Their search got a little harder early this morning when their free agent guard, Greg Buckner, agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks.
Cheap minds think alike.
you didnt watch the clips-nuggs series did you? he clanked shot after shot, Melo would have had 10apg if buck hit his shots
and there was a rumour that he was one of the guys who was complaining in the locker room after a cips game about the team 'being melo's'
He doesnt care where he playes, he just wants the money.
Why would i be bitter about losing someone that i hoped would be gone last offseason?
good riddance , its time for DJ to show he is and was always the better 2 guard
