Twitter is full of free agent rumors. The strongest rumor in regards to our Denver Nuggets is about Mike Miller. Let the “Mike Miller to Denver” rumor get stronger with this Chris Broussard tweet:
While Cavs pursue Mike Miller, Miller is getting close to agreeing to terms with Denver, source says

Combine that tweet with these two earlier tweets from Denver Post writer Christopher Dempsey and the wheels start to spin!
#NBA salary cap rises to all-time high of $63.065 million for next season. Luxury tax level is $76.829 million

This means the #Nuggets would have a tad bit of wiggle room under the tax level to add a player at around $3 mil or less, barring a trade

Does this mean there will be no Jusuf Nurkic this upcoming season? I won’t believe Nurkic will be in Denver until I see it happen!
Does this mean Denver management got Mike Miller to sign for under $4 million per year?
How exactly does Miller fit? He can play the 2,3 and 4. Last I checked the Nugs already have two pretty good bodies manning the 2 (Afflalo and Foye), the 3 (Gallinari and Chandler), and the 4 (Faried and Arthur with Hickson coming back from injury)
What are your thoughts?
