The Nuggets already have 13 players on guaranteed deals, with Quincy Miller and Erick Green on partially guaranteed contracts. That means those two, along with training camp invites Marcus Williams and Joe Alexander (and possibly Gee, now) will be fighting for the final two spots. The team can carry 17 players on their roster through training camp and in the preseason, but they must whittle it down to 15 before the start of the regular season.

Any interest in Gee may seem odd on its face, given the Nuggets are already well-stocked at the wing. They re-acquired Arron Afflalo in a draft-day trade, selected Gary Harris in the draft, already have Randy Foye and Wilson Chandler, and will welcome back Danilo Gallinari from injury.

But Gee’s benefits to the Nuggets are three-fold. Gallinari hasn’t played an NBA game in a year and half after two knee surgeries, so the addition of Gee would likely be insurance for the Nuggets as they wait to see how reliable, and healthy, Gallo really is in his return.
