Linas Kleiza Is Next To Be Traded??

Fri Jan 09, 2009 4:18 am

Nuggets to deal Kleiza next?
The other key chip the Nuggets could play is forward Linas Kleiza. He's on the trading block because he becomes a restricted free agent next summer, and he could bolt to Europe and leave Denver with nothing. He also could seek a contract that is too rich for the Nuggets, who don't want to pay the luxury tax next season either. It will be interesting to see if talks about Kleiza possibly going to New York for David Lee resurface. Lee definitely could help the Nuggets, although one wonders what the Knicks might want to do with Kleiza since they're not looking to sign players to deals of any substance past the key free-agency summer of 2010. And, just because the Nuggets traded for one Oklahoma City big man, it doesn't mean they can't return to the same store. Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and Nick Collison likely could still be had from the big-men rich Thunder. -- Rocky Mountain News

The possibility that he could decide to return to Europe this offseason might turn a few teams away but otherwise I'd expect interest to be reasonably high. He's got good size, can finish around the basket and has excellent range making him an appealing option for an offensively deficient team.
