San Antonio swingman Stephen Jackson is one of the significant free agents still available.

Jackson averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals last season with the NBA champion Spurs. The 6-8, 220-pounder became expendable for the Spurs after they acquired guard Ron Mercer and Hedo Turkoglu on Thursday in a trade.

"He's exploring his options," Jackson's agent Dan Fegan said. "There is an obvious need for a shooting guard in Denver. I've had some conversations with Denver."
