No interest for Nuggets free-agent
Posted: Saturday July 19, 2008 10:49AM ET
J.R. Smith hasn't received much more interest this summer than J.R. Rider. If the Nuggets had fears of some team swooping in to sign the restricted free-agent guard to a big offer sheet, they can breathe easier. Smith was asked Friday if he'd heard this summer from any other teams. "Not yet," he said. Wait a minute. You haven't heard from any teams having interest in signing you? "I haven't heard from anybody," he said. Smith said he hasn't gotten an offer from the Nuggets, other than the option to return next season for the $3.04 million qualifying offer.

They made a shrewd signing (as usual) in adding Mason
