Free agent point guard Sam Cassell has expressed interest in playing for the Nuggets, and the team could make a play for Chicago's Kirk Hinrich, according to report in The Rocky Mountain News.

Cassell wants to play one more season in the league and is likely considering the Nuggets because of his relationship with George Karl.

Having drafted Derrick Rose, the Bulls will be looking to clear out some space in their backcourt. Hinrich is expectedly by many to be traded by Chicago before the start of the 2008-09 season.
