call core intention parting phone
We put in a phone call and we had discussions. Nothing that I would say was ever close. . . . I can tell you we had no intention of parting with our core players.
address agent number spoken
Those are things that we want to address quickly. I've spoken with Wesley's agent a number of times, and I spoke to Bryon (on Monday).

We are extremely pleased to have Greg back. He is one of our toughest defenders and played a key role for us last year.

for working with us to make this possible so quickly.

I don't know where it turns out. Some of the decisions are harder than others. With any team, there's going to be changes.

If things were starting today, he certainly would be. That's all you can really deal with.

I'd like to have (Elson) back, definitely. It's always tough every summer (hanging on to multiple free agents) . . . You can't always do it, but you tend to find ways.
eventually
I'd like to think that it will eventually pass.

Obviously Doug is a favorite of not only the Nuggets but all Denverites. Thus far we've respected his wishes to keep these matters private. I hope everyone will say a prayer for him tonight.

One of the things we're looking to see is what happens with the amnesty and who gets let go. It's a unique year.

Obviously, we're very interested in (the three). They did a very good job for us the last half of last year.

We can't thank them enough, whoever that was. We come in contact with great people all the time through our fans and we have some of the best fans in the world and I don't think they even knew who Julius was.

We have great security here. They responded very, very quickly. They are, in my view, some of the best in the business.

There are a lot of guys on the board.
