Eduardo Najera will become a free agent at Monday's deadline. “My agent and I haven’t talked to anybody in the Nuggets front office,” said Najera from his home in Oklahoma. “I have talked to George Karl. He told me that he wants me back.” 

Najera, who made nearly 5 million dollars last season, says he’s only looking for a fair deal. “I want to come back to the Nuggets, but I understand this is a business. Money isn’t an issue. I’m not looking to break the bank.”  

Najera says that Dallas and New Jersey are interested in signing him as an unrestricted free agent. A deal with the Nets would reunite Najera with former Nuggets General Manager KiKi Vandeweghe, who brought him to Denver during the middle of the 2005 season. 

Najera, who improved his 3 point shooting during this past season, averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds a game.
