If the Denver Nuggets are intent on signing Golden State Warriors free-agent guard Gilbert Arenas, it might take a large chunk of their free-agent dollars.
Arenas's agent, Dan Fegan, said Thursday that projections he has read about his client signing a contract starting in the $7 million range are off base.
The Utah Jazz, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers also are believed to be interested in Arenas.

If the Denver Nuggets are intent on signing Golden State Warriors free-agent guard Gilbert Arenas, it might take a large chunk of their free-agent dollars.
Arenas's agent, Dan Fegan, said Thursday that projections he has read about his client signing a contract starting in the $7 million range are off base.
"If you're asking whether a starting number of $7 million is enough to sign Gilbert Arenas, the answer is unequivocally no, it's not," Fegan said.
Denver is in desperate need of a starting point guard and has about $22 million to spend in free agency this summer. Arenas might be the top prospect on the Nuggets' free-agent wish list. Teams cannot comment on their interest until the signing period opens July 1.

Heat general manager Randy Pfund has whittled his wish list of possible draft picks, and the players Miami will concentrate its scouting efforts on over the next four weeks play where the team needs help most -- at point guard and in the post.
Pfund seems particularly confident in Miami's chances of landing an elite big man in the June 26 draft and appears to be honing in on Georgia Tech's Chris Bosh, Maciej Lampe of Poland and Chris Kaman of Central Michigan as possibilities at pick No. 5.
Bosh, a 6-10 power forward, could be snagged by Toronto at No. 4, but if he's on the board when Miami picks, Pfund should have adequate information to make an informed decision.
Pfund scouted Bosh ''six or seven times'' during the college season and still might conduct a personal workout.
The Heat also will take a closer look at Georgetown junior forward Michael Sweetney and a very intriguing prospect, 7-4, 300-pound Russian center Pavel Podkolzin.
