The Nuggets settled on veteran Andre Miller and brought the former Nugget back to Denver in a trade the night of the June 23 draft. Lawson sees no problems in the matter of who starts and who doesn't. "I'm not worried about it at all," Lawson said. "I'm willing to do whatever is best for the team to win. Whatever the coaches decide is what the coaches decide. So I'm working hard and just trying to be the best that I can. "I'm excited that Andre is coming. He's a great player. He's been here before. There's a lot of things I can learn from him. He's one of the top passers in the NBA. He makes tough passes look easy. I'm ready to work and get started." Denver Post

Lawson and Miller haven't talked to each other yet. In the meantime, Lawson has thought about his future and has decided that if it looks like the lockout will last a long time, he's going to play overseas. "If they say we're definitely going to be locked out in November, I'm going to go over there until the season starts or for the whole year," he said. Denver Post

The Orlando Magic didn't complete a blockbuster trade in recent weeks, but it's not for lack of trying. The Magic were constantly working the phones in the weeks leading up to the 2011 NBA Draft and talked to a number of teams about potential deals, but they simply didn't have the assets to complete a trade. The Magic were in contact with the Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Bobcats, Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers among other teams. They were targeting Steve Nash, Stephen Jackson, Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith and Andre Miller. HoopsWorld

Sources confirmed that the Magic and Blazers were in serious talks that would have sent Nelson to Portland in exchange for Miller and the twenty-first pick. Had Orlando acquired Miller, they likely would have tried to flip him and his non-guaranteed contract for one of the other players they were targeting. The Hawks and 76ers were looking to shed salary so the Magic saw Miller as a way to improve their offer. HoopsWorld

Sam Amick: Portland is among the most active teams today, and not just in Andre Miller talks. Marcus Camby chatter and much more... Twitter

Add another unsubstantiated rumor — with heavy emphasis on the words "unsubstantiated rumor" — to the list, courtesy of Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com. Givony said over Twitter today that the Magic "are talking about" a trade with the Portland TrailBlazers that would send point guard Jameer Nelson out west for point guard Andre Miller and the 21st overall pick in tonight's 2011 NBA draft. However, an NBA source indicated to the Orlando Sentinel that the report is being overblown — at least for now. Orlando Sentinel
