"The Nuggets' sigh of relief cost $67 million. Denver is bringing back Nene, the free agent who looked to be out the door, a source said late Tuesday night.

Nene agreed to a five-year deal for up to $67 million, bolstering the Nuggets' frontcourt for the next half-decade.

Nene had considered heading to New Jersey, Houston and Indiana, but in the end, he stayed in the city he began his career, back in 2002."
