Nene expected to opt out of deal
Nene Hilario - F/C - Denver Nuggets

The Denver Post says there is a "better-than-average" chance that Nene will opt out of the final year of his contract.
Nene could opt in and earn $12 million next year as a Nugget. But considering he is coming off a career year and the dearth of big men in the NBA, Nene would be crazy not to test the market. He could probably leverage his way into a long-term deal with the Nuggets after being wooed by other teams like the Rockets.
