The Nuggets' interest in Bonzi Wells began in February, when they contacted the Kings about a trade involving Wells and according to the Denver Post, the interest remains.

The Nuggets are near the luxury tax threshold of $65.42 million with their payroll, meaning there is little room for the Nuggets to sign Wells outright.

The Kings' own proximity to the luxury tax means a sign-and-trade deal between them and the Nuggets also is highly unlikely.
