But the reality is, the Nuggets already have 12 players under contract. Denver also hopes to re-sign Andre Miller and JaVale McGee. Though the team hasn't made a public decision, it appears that Fournier will play overseas next season. "Our roster is pretty full and pretty full with young guys," said Nuggets executive Masai Ujiri. "Another thing that was attractive (with Fournier) was we wanted that flexibility a little bit, and get a very young player. He's 19 years old and really developing. We'll see how that goes."

Among serious sounding categories such as the Social Slam Award and the Got Game Award was the LOL Award. It’s not surprising that Nick Young and JaVale McGee were two of the nominees. Both were honored for knucklehead plays during their time in Wizards uniforms this season. JaVale won the category for his famous “hustle on defense, despite actually being on offense” play. Winning something called a LOL Award is a very JaVale thing to do. Washington Post

McGee became known worldwide after competing in the 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Competition, becoming the first man to dunk two basketballs on two separate rings at the same time. He first met Reyes when McGee came to the Philippines last July 2011 to play in a two-game series, the Smart Ultimate All-Star Weekend, with other NBA players including Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose. But it was McGee who made the biggest impression on the Filipino fans, thanks to his dazzling array of powerful dunks and his on-court antics, which included 'planking' – or lying face down – on the floor of the Araneta Coliseum.

"(JaVale) really fell in love with the country, he liked Manila," Reyes said. "JaVale fit all the characteristics I want in a naturalized player." "He's a 7-footer, he's tall, athletic, quick. He's not a slow big man... We felt that he was an ideal choice to be a naturalized Filipino and he agreed, he liked the idea," he added. ABS-CBN News

The dream of having NBA stalwart JaVale McGee representing the Philippines could become a reality. A bill seeking to grant the high-flying NBA center a Philippine citizenship has been filed Tuesday by Antipolo City Representative Roberto V. Puno in a move to boost the line-up of the national basketball team. Puno, who also initiated 6-foot-10 center Marcus Douthit’s naturalization two years ago, sponsored House Bill No. 6169 before the Fifteenth Congress. Inquirer.net

Ujiri previously said it's the Nuggets' goal to keep JaVale McGee, a restricted free-agent center. All are 26 or younger. "I'm just excited to be part of a great organization," said McGee, who averaged 9.6 rebounds, 8.6 points and 3.1 blocked shots in the series against the Lakers, his first postseason after playing for Washington. "(Playing for the Nuggets) was the best experience I've ever had in basketball. It's just an honor to be a part of this team. This was a great team before I came, so I just tried to add to it. It's a great organization and coaching staff. They put me in more situations that were more suitable for my game." Denver Post

Nuggets management has indicated it will try to bring back McGee, the leaper who will be a restricted free agent this summer and had breakout games during this series. Denver Post

Meanwhile, center JaVale McGee and swingman Rudy Fernandez are restricted free agents. McGee made a name for himself during the series against the Lakers with a couple of huge games that raised his profile nationally and his value right along with it, though with such a small sample size since being traded to the Nuggets in March it's unknown how much McGee's value actually is. He's been largely noncommittal about his desire to return, but the Nuggets can match any offer, giving them a leg up. McGee called the Nuggets "definitely a great organization," but said his agent would handle everything else. Denver Post

The Nuggets' front office knew JaVale McGee had an abundance of athleticism, but he developed bad habits playing for a poor team. "Our intent was to get JaVale for the future, not just for three months," Nuggets executive Masai Ujiri said. Asked Wednesday whether McGee, a restricted free agent this summer, is a player he wants to lock down for the future, Ujiri said, "One hundred percent." Denver Post

"Usually, I'm nowhere near the playoffs," said McGee, acquired from the Wizards for Nene at the trade deadline. "Usually, my last game is the regular season in April. I definitely didn't want this to be my last game." CBSSports.com
