Nuggets' new plan? (7-3-03).

Are the Denver Nuggets about to drop out of the Gilbert Arenas sweepstakes, leaving the Warriors without an obvious contender for his services?
Late word Wednesday was that the Nuggets will try to sign point guard Andre Miller (a restricted free agent the Los Angeles Clippers probably will let go) and would pursue Arenas only if a more moderate deal for Miller couldn't be completed. Miller is quoted in today's Rocky Mountain News as saying that a Nuggets official told him he is their top point-guard priority.
The Nuggets have been pegged as Arenas' most likely destination because they seemed eager to pay him a salary starting at more than $7 million.
The Warriors, who are over the salary cap, have limited matching rights and can offer Arenas about $4.7 million a season.
