Keith Van Horn, who played last season with Dallas is pondering early retirement at age 30.

The Nuggets are waiting to see what he wants to do as they have been pursuing the forward throughout the offseason. Van Horn has interest in the Nuggets, but retirement also is an option.

"That's always a possibility," said Rick Majerus, who coached Van Horn at the University of Utah. "His family is very important to him. It's much more important than the NBA."

Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson concurred.

He said Van Horn has "made a lot of money in his lifetime" and retiring is "always an option."

Van Horn made $15.7 million last season.
