Free-agent swingmen Ime Udoka and Joey Graham have chosen teams. Udoka will sign with Portland and Graham with Denver.Udoka's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed Friday his client will sign with the Trail Blazers. It will be a one-year minimum contract worth $959,111 and likely partially guaranteed.
"We talked a lot with Denver,'' Bartelstein said about Udoka, who played last season with San Antonio. "But it's a good fit (for Udoka). They really let us know they wanted him.'' Udoka, who previously played for the Trail Blazers in 2006-07, was born and raised in Portland, and played collegiately at Portland State.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets will sign Graham, who averaged 7.7 points last season with Toronto, to a one-year non-guaranteed contract worth $884,881. Sources confirmed the deal. Nuggets guard J.R. Smith said he has heard Graham will sign, and called him "really athletic.''
The Nuggets had really wanted to sign free-agent guard Flip Murray, and offered him the minimum of $1.1 million. But Charlotte topped that Thursday with a one-year offer of the $1.99 million biannual exception, and Murray went to the Hornets.
The Nuggets have been looking for a wing player to replace Linas Kleiza, who bolted as a free agent in August. But the thinking now is Graham and James White, who also has a non-guaranteed contract, can fight it out in training camp for a possible roster spot.
