I guess that means they are out of the Richard Jefferson sweepstakes.

I was surprised at this. I figured RJ's connection to Kidd would have made this a slam dunk.

Agreed, sounded like a money issue. 2.3 million from the Nuggets. RJ probably fills the 3-4 spots and Liggins more of a 2-3. Liggins is more of a Kidd type player, versatile, long, good defender. Depth behind Snell.
