The Nuggets had wanted to bring free agent shooting guard Casey Jacobsen to training camp. That now appears unlikely, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Jacobsen said last month he rejected an offer by the Nuggets, which included $75,000 of guaranteed money, to attend camp. Jacob- sen, in line to make the minimum of $771,331, didn't want to lock himself out of a possible better deal.

"I wanted to get more (from the Nuggets)," said Jacobsen, who added he is talking with four or five undisclosed teams. "If they didn't offer more, they didn't want me as much as I thought. . . . I live with my decision."

Warkentien declined comment on the offer, which Jacobsen said came "about three days" before he finished play July 12 with the Nuggets in the Vegas Summer League. Jacobsen averaged 16.4 points.

Shortly thereafter, the Nuggets added shooting guards J.R. Smith and Yakhouba Diawara. With that in mind, Jacobsen doesn't believe he would accept a Nuggets camp invitation if another is extended.
