Finding a Big Man

I am sure that others follow this much more than me, but is there any chance the Nuggets go after David Lee this off-season? I know we talked about traded for him a year or two ago, and he has improved every season in the league. He doesn't help with our size disadvantage versus teams like the Lakers, but he is better than anything we have at PF/C. Will he be work two much for the Nuggets? Is there anyway we could do a sign-and-trade deal with him?

If he doesn't work out (or even if it does), what about the future of Brian Butch? He had a good rookie season in the D-League (17.7pts, 11.9 rpg, and can't be worse than Petro. Could he be used as a solid backup at the PF/C position, to be rotated in with Martin, Nene, and Anderson?

Lastly, is there any possibilities of us making a trade to get a high draft pick and take a player like Aldrich or Cousins, who should be immediate starters with a big impact? It seems to me that the Nuggets are just one big man away from a great chance at an NBA title next year, and the question seems to be whether they are willing to go over the cap limit to get someone...
