With yesterday's trade for Kenyon Martin; the Nuggets may not have the minutes for some of their other big men.
"Two sources said restricted free-agent forward Chris Andersen has an offer to sign with the New Orleans Hornets and probably will leave the Nuggets after three seasons. And forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili reiterated he would not oppose a trade."
'Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said he would not oppose it if Andersen were to want to leave.'
"He is pursuing some other options" Vandeweghe said. "I told him I would not stand in his way."
Chris Anderson is still restricted because the Nuggets did not renounce his rights; because they were able to sign Martin without doing so.
'It's possible, though, Denver, which still can carve out up to $3 million in salary-cap room, soon will renounce him, making him unrestricted.'
Anderson's agent says that there is an offer on the table but they are not saying who. A source with the Hornets says that it is probably a 2 or 3 year deal and that they are not making it official in hopes that Denver will renounce him and it won't tie up the offer for 15 days.
'Vandeweghe would not rule out trading Tskitishvili.'
"It's always an option," said Vandeweghe.
"I'm not saying we're currently looking at it. I'll have to talk to Skita. But he's looked awfully good in the summer."
