The Denver Nuggets are close to finally securing arguably the most important piece from last season. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Nuggets will lock up Arron Afflalo to a 5-year deal.

Stein tweeted around 6 p.m. Monday night,

Just going up on ESPN online: Sources say Nuggets and restricted free agent Arron Afflalo agree to five-year deal in excess of $43 million

According to Stein there are bonuses added to the deal that would help it reach $43 million. Afflalo will automatically be penciled in as the Nuggets shooting guard with Andre Miller, Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer all getting minutes off the bench.

Miller will get the starting nod at shooting guard on Tuesday when the Nuggets host the Phoenix Suns. Here is how Afflalo’s contract compares to other guards that signed contracts this season.  (more…)

]]> The one word to describe the Denver Nuggets franchise nowadays is young. Which makes it kind of a coincidence that the top two free agents the Nuggets contacted on Monday was Washington Wizards’ Nick Young and Philadelphia 76ers’ Thaddeus Young. And of course both of the players are among the top young players in the NBA. They also are both restricted free agents.

According to Ken Berger, Thaddeus Young and the Nuggets had a good conversation on Monday. Berger also believes it is another example of the Nuggets preparing for Nene’s departure.

Young may not be a star in the NBA, but he was a valuable role player for the Sixers last season. He is a typical tweener, which in his case is a good thing. He doesn’t have great range on his shot, but has the athleticism, length and strength to play in the post.
