Nobody on Nuggets roster untouchable
Sources tell the Denver Post that nobody on the Nuggets active roster is “untouchable” in offseason trade talks. Marcus Camby and Allen Iverson could both be pitched as short-term solutions to teams needing a major fix, while Carmelo Anthony’s personal troubles are starting to be seen as a distraction.

Morning tidbits
Bulls not rushing for D’Antoni
The Bulls don’t seem to be concerned that the Knicks could snap up Mike D’Antoni from Phoenix. Bulls GM John Paxson has reportedly told D’Antoni that he’s going to interview other folks for the spot so he can just hold onto his hat. Supposed concerns about D’Antoni’s “practice habits” and “lack of attention to defense” are holding back Paxson from just doing a deal. (Chicago Tribune)
Arenas would re-sign if Jamison does
The off-season is all about re-signing Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison for Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld and Arenas is suggesting that he’ll only return if Washington shows Jamison the money. Arenas even hinted that he’d take less dough if it definitely meant Jamison would come back. (Washington Post)
Raptors' Calderon wants to start
Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon has now informed the world via his Web site that he wants to be the starter next season, the position T.J. Ford started at last year. Calderon spent the last part of the season at the spot with Ford watching from the bench but there are no guarantees for next year as Calderon becomes a restricted free agent on July 1 (the Raptors say they’ll match any offer) and Ford has three more years and around $26 million left on his contract. GM Bryan Colangelo is trying to figure out a solution but it is likely to involve a trade of Ford. (Toronto Star)
