Rudy Fernandez, whose season ended with back surgery in March, is open to returning with the Nuggets next season. Rudy is a restricted FA, but for once in his NBA career he actually sounds content. "If they offer a contract, I'll listen to stay here and play with the Nuggets," he said. "My time here was perfect." He would be another valuable weapon off Denver's bench, providing play-making skills and perimeter shooting.
