Linas Kleiza, F

Sunday 8/10, 10:15 AM CT

Linas Kleiza drained a game-winning three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left on the clock to lead Lithuania to a win over the 2004 gold medal-winning Argentina in the Olympics, according to the Denver Post. He said, "It definitely felt good when it came out. It's a good feeling, I'm not going to lie."

Our View: Manu Ginobili scored 19 points in the loss for Argentina, who are still favored to lead Group A.

Carmelo Anthony, F

Friday 8/8, 9:45 AM CT

USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo stated on Thursday that Carmelo Anthony is not in the best physical shape yet, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Colangelo said, "Carmelo still has work to do in terms of getting ready. He came up with a little cramp because of conditioning in Thursday's practice. We need a lot out of Carmelo."

Our View: Team USA opens the Olympics Sunday against China. Anthony disagrees with Colangelo and feels his conditioning is fine and not a problem.

J.R. Smith, G

Wednesday 8/6, 10:44 PM CT

Despite recent rumors, sources in Denver indicate the Denver Nuggets will in fact be offering restricted free-agent guard J.R. Smith a new deal within the next seven to ten days, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Our View: According to the News, the Nuggets already have extended a one-year, $3.04 qualifying offer to Smith, but it looks like he's going to get some long-term security. As always, we will keep you posted.

Carmelo Anthony, F

Tuesday 8/5, 7:53 PM CT

With the NBA set to release the full 2008-09 schedule on Wednesday, the Denver Nuggets have learned the league will allow Carmelo Anthony to take part in the team's home opener, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Our View: The Nuggets will open the season with two road games against Western Conference foes, both of which Anthony will miss as he serves a two-game suspension for a DUI charge. That makes him available to start the season at home.

J.R. Smith, G

Tuesday 8/5, 10:13 AM CT

If rumors are true, the Cavaliers could be interested in signing Nuggets restricted free agent J.R. Smith , according to the Ohio Morning-Journal.

Our View: Look for the deal to be a sign-and-trade if it happens.
