Thin at point guard, the Denver Nuggets are hoping to secure the services of free agent Tyronn Lue, who was bought out by the Sacramento Kings after being acquired in the Mike Bibby deal, the Denver Post is reporting.

Coach George Karl met with Lue and his agent, Andy Miller, on Friday night.

"The things I see Tyronn can do for us would be passing and shooting," Karl said. "When we pass the ball and have a flow and a rhythm to our offense and we play with a freedom, the point guard has more of an impact on that type of offense. His pick-and-roll game seems to be at a higher level than maybe we have now. I would probably speculate that. And the 3-ball. When we make the 3-ball, we're dangerous."

It is believed that Phoenix is also interested in the veteran guard.
