Morning everyone, hope everyone is enjoying the craze that is free agency. Unfortunately, I have to get up in a few hours so I'm doing these Nuggets a bit early and I may miss some of things posted between now (midnight) and three when these links go up, and if I miss something, please do correct me and post the link, thank you. Also, a new open thread for free agency will be up at 7 AM and I urge you all to get on and take part over a nice cup of coffee or your morning drink of choice, I'll be at the local coffee shop posting here, and also working on something for you guys here at NN, or at least, getting the first piece drafted. Who wants to guess what it is? Winner gets to help.
