Veteran center Jeff Foster will be one of the many players on the Indiana Pacers’ roster that are on the last year of their contract. Foster will be turning 34 as the off-season rolls around and he hopes he will be re-signed by Indiana. He doesn’t see himself going anywhere else.

“It’s extremely important,” Foster told HOOPSWORLD on the significance of ending his career as a member of the Pacers organization. “I never thought about going anywhere else. Those thoughts have never even crossed my mind … nothing would make me happier than to finish my career as a Pacer. So that’s what I plan on doing and hopefully we’ll be able to follow that through.”

Indiana could re-sign Foster to use a twelfth man or something. He hasn’t been used at all this season due to the other performances of the other Indiana big men. Foster could just be used for depth. I don’t see him getting signed by anyone else as I don’t seen anyone gaining interest in him.

Foster didn’t really play last season due to injuries.

If he doesn’t get re-signed or signed by any other team this off-season, we could be seeing the last season ever of Foster.

This could be a bad day for all fans of the Denver Nuggets. In the team’s season-opening victory, the Nuggets acknowledged to give Carmelo Anthony the go-ahead $65 million extension. Anthony declined.

Anthony said he wants a change in his future, and it doesn’t seem to involve the Nuggets at all. He was coming off a 23-point performance in the Nuggets’ 110-88 win over the Utah Jazz.

“Management to sit down and talk, but my thing is it’s way beyond this year,” he told Yahoo! Sports. “It ain’t got nothing to do with the new GM [Masai Ujiri], Josh [Kroenke, team president], the players. For me, I feel it’s a time for change.

“If I do nothing now, I’m never going to do anything. I feel like my time is now to make a decision if I want to leave or if I want to stay.”

The Nuggets extension offer has been there for months now. If Anthony plays the season out, he will be the next big thing of the free agency. Or another thing may happen, he could be dealt by the deadline.

The teams that are possible in trading for the All-Star are the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, and the Chicago Bulls.

Anthony wants to keep his options open.

“But as far as the money that’s on the table, I understand the money that’s on the table. I understand it’s a lot,” he said on “The Scott Van Pelt Show.” “But it’s more than the money. Right now I’m here, I’m with the Nuggets.”

Maybe not for long.
