Vowing that he has changed his ways, the Denver Nuggets are giving NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman a tryout today to see if the 43 year old still has what it takes to play in the league. Rodman, who last played in the 1999/00 season, vows that his attempts to get back into the league are so he can end his career in a positive light rather than being for more fame, money and attention.
"I just want my career to end on a good note," Rodman said. "I'm not coming back for the money. The money has nothing to do with it. I want to come back another year, maybe two, and show people that the game is still fun. I want to bring some entertainment back into the league."
He has gone so far, Rodman's agent Darrin Price says, that he gave up alcohol around a year ago.
"I have a job to do today," he said. "And once I do it, there will be no excuses."

According to the Houston Chronicle ex-Nugget Ryan Bowen has agreed to terms with the Houston, continuing what many believe to be a terrific offseason for the Rockets.
Bowen chose the opportunity that sprang open when Bob Sura's back injury required surgery last week, accepting a deal sources said is worth $807,546 for one guaranteed season.
Bowen also expected offers from the Heat and SuperSonics before the start of their training camps next week, with the Nuggets, Kings and Timberwolves also expressing interest.
"I'm very excited about joining the Rockets," Bowen said. "I was just looking at all the possibilities. One of the possibilities was returning to Denver. But this was a good situation for me. I had a very good meeting last week with coach (Jeff) Van Gundy and (general manager) Carroll Dawson. Looking at the situation there, I thought it was a no-brainer. It was what I was looking for."

Desite his recent legal troubles, Denver GM Kiki Vanderweghe still has an interest in re-signing guard Rodney White, providing of course he can keep out of trouble.
"We're going to wait and see how things turn out," Vandeweghe said. "We just want to do what's best for Rodney. Obviously, this is a very hard lesson for him."
Vandeweghe believes the parties could reach an agreement soon, with the Nuggets also expected to sign free-agent guard Greg Buckner.
Denver also maintains an interest in free agent Ryan Bowen, who also has the attention of Miami, Houston and Seattle for his services.
