A quick intersting note about BBall across the pond

Just thought I would mention this, guess who ended up 4th in the league in scoring and rebounding in Euroleague this season
You guessed it, the one, the only Linas Kleiza. Kleiza put up 17.86 pts per game and 7.57 rebs, both good for fourth highest among all players. While admittedly the Euroleague is far inferior to the NBA and by NBA standards Kleiza's numbers aren't all that impressive, it does seem to indicate he is regaining his stride in Europe. So I'll propose the question, if Kleiza decides to return to the USA while the Nuggets still maintain his rights what should we do, keep him, trade him or abandon his rights as a throw in in another trade before/if he returns

we have his rights, if we offer the Qualifying offer (same as last year)
so his way back to the nba is through us…. if i were to guess tho, i would say we trade him like what toronto did with delfino for some cheap young talent
but if we do get him back, i always like playing him at the 4, to stretch the floor
Just Kleiz stays
I think he plays 2 guard over there, and his game is a good fit for Euroleague so I’m glad he’s doing well over there. LK won’t get $6 mil a year over here so I’d be shocked if he comes back after just 1 year. LK plays a short season over there playing big minutes and makes bank. I hope we can get him back on a modest deal in a few years when he comes back. Kleiza can play and I want him back in a Nuggets uni. The Milwaukee Bucks lost Ilyasova for 2 years to Europe, now they brought him back for 3 years $8 mil or something and look how that’s turning out.
Your whole wife swaping idea is intruiging
and filthy
Good for LK. I’d want to see how he would readjust to NBA play. He might be one of those players that can’t quite make the transition.
