If you think the Nuggets simply have to resolve the Carmelo Anthony saga and move on, think again. Denver has another issue brewing, one that has been largely ignored with all the attention on Melo. It's the impending free agency of another player we're on a one-name basis with: Nene.

Like Anthony, Nene has an early-termination option he can exercise after the season, and sources say he is upset with all the attention focused on Anthony's situation while his isn't being resolved. Nene, arguably Denver's second-best player, has made a list of three teams he's interested in signing with or being traded to -- and not surprisingly, one of them is Miami, where his fierce interior presence would be the missing piece for the Heat.

Thus far, Denver's stance has been to deal with Anthony first, but sources say the Nuggets are running out of time to get Nene to agree to an extension.

Nene to the Heat is a scary thought.

It'll never happen.

Miami doesn't have the trade assets or the cap space to acquire Nene.

Mavs are the other team on his list. Third team is still unknown.

Yep. You'd think that Nene's camp might have checked into that first, before they played that card. Tough to apply leverage when it doesn't exist.

Stein tweeted that Houston would be interested, IIRC.

MLE next season? You know someone is going to take a paycut to ride in the trunk (Bosh is laying in the backseat) of that car.


But the Melo saga will be over by the trade deadline. Won't they still have time to workout an extension with Nene after that?
