Sportsguy9695 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Nene said Monday he is strongly considering opting out of the final season of his six-year, $60 million contract, which would pay him $12 million, and testing the free-agent market.After nine seasons in the NBA, Nene has full control of his future and it could take hard work for the Nuggets to make him happy enough to return."I've been here for nine years," said Nene, 28. "If that doesn't work how you want it, you need to sit down and evaluate everything and see what you can do."The overarching issues in this situation are his level of happiness with the Nuggets and, ultimately, his value on the open market.Players similar to him — Utah's Al Jefferson, Chicago's Carlos Boozer and Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge — will make $11 million to $14 million next season.

NomarFachix Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Come back to the team that drafted you and then traded you away with Mark Jackson and Marcus Camby for Antonio McDyess and Frank [expletive]ing Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well, he's said he's thought about playing in Miami so I wouldn't put it out of the realm of thought here. We'll surely offer the full MLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 It will be interesting to see where he ends up. I have a gut feeling he'll end up in Miami, maybe New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
