I will not be upset if Denver misses the playoffs

The more I think about it the more I see this as the perfect season to rebuild as it is a short season. The pain to the fanbase is pretty limited from Christmas to April. Additionally with the NBA lockout looming last year a bunch of players stayed in school. Even late in the lottery I feel like THIS year the Nuggets could get a real steal.
First and foremost the Nuggets need to use the amnesty clause in the new CBA to dump Al Harrington. Andre Miller's contract expires at the end of the season and maybe a team will need a big down the stretch and the Nuggets can unload Birdman... maybe.
It really all comes down to if Nene wants to come back to Denver. If he is gone there really is no reason to pay the wings (as much as I like some of them) to come back when the team can go through the draft this summer.
So really I'm fine if the Nuggets just carry the min. salary requirements next season.
