Will Barton

SG, Denver Nuggets

Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Thursday there was "nothing in my heart" in regards to his future with the team.

Malone also was asked about free agent to-be Will Barton and responded "I would love nothing more than to have Will Barton back." Malone has had ups and downs with Denver as has Will Barton but both finished the season strong. Malone was able to motivate the Nuggets effectively and even when down they were not out until the very end. Barton played different roles at times for the Nuggets including bench point guard, bench wing, and starting on the wing. The versatile swingman will likely be sought after this offseason for his athleticism and ability to fill up the scoreboard quickly.
