DENVER POST The agent for Los Angeles Clippers free-agent swingman Corey Maggette told The Denver Post that an ESPN.com report stating that his client had accepted a six-year contract with the Nuggets was not true. Although he also said Maggette is still interested in the Nuggets, agent Rob Pelinka said his client is getting interest from other clubs and could meet with another team before the signing date arrives Wednesday.

"We're still in just discussions at this point," Pelinka said about the Nuggets. "We've had some productive conversations where they've expressed interest. But Corey still has his options."

Maggette has already visited Denver and recently said the Nuggets were one of his top options. Among the teams interested in the 6-foot-6, 228-pounder are the Utah Jazz and the Clippers, who hired coach Mike Dunleavy Sr., on Friday. The Nuggets have $18 million available to use in free agency, and Maggette seems to be atop their list of shooting guard prospects. If the Nuggets sign Maggette to an offer sheet, the Clippers would have 15 days to potentially match it since he is a restricted free agent.
