Rumors continue to swirl around the Denver Nuggets interest in trading for G/F Ron Artest before Thursday's trading deadline.
Allegedly, the Sacramento Kings want G/F Linus Kleiza as part of any deal, and the Nuggets are so far unwillingly to agree.
Forward Edjuardo Najera is also mentioned as part of a any potential deal because his $4.95 million contract expires at the end of this season.
Kleiza is averaging 11.9 points per game (third on the team behind Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson) and 4.40 rebounds per game. His field goal percentage is higher than both Anthony and Iverson.
The Nuggets beat the Celtics Tuesday night 124-118.
Anthony and Iverson led the way with 29 points and 28 points respectively.
Kleiza scored 11 points, making four of his five shots. Kleiza also tallied four rebounds and three assists. The last time the teams met, the Celtics won 113-93 in Boston.
Denver's record stands at 33-20, second in the Northwest Division, trailing the Jazz by 1.5 games.
Denver is currently slotted eighth in the Western Conference playoff race. The team has won seven of its last 10 games.
The Nuggets' next game is Friday night in Denver against the Chicago Bulls.
