A majority of the NBA is focused on Carmelo Anthony, but the Nuggets have another decision to make on a player's future.

Like Anthony, Nene can opt out of his contract and become a free agent this coming summer.

However, unlike Anthony, Nene has expressed a desire to remain in Denver.

“I’ve been there for nine years and I’d prefer to be there,” Nene said. “But I can’t guarantee my future. It’s hard. My wife is pregnant. All the family and friends are there.”

Nene, who is enjoying a career year, has drawn interest from the Rockets and Mavericks.

The Heat have also coveted him, but they'd have to get creative to afford him as a free agent.
