White on the block?

Today is the day Denver Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe has to decide whether or not to pick up Rodney White's option. He said he will decide right before the deadline but trading him is not out of the question either. "I guess (a trade is) a possibility, but it's not a probability," Vandeweghe said Thursday before the Nuggets lost 102-85 to Houston at the Toyota Center. "I don't have anything out there. I'll tell you, right now, nothing is going on. But it's a possibility, I guess."

Assistant general manager David Fredman said the club is considering trades to keep from cutting players."
