Raptor swingman Morris Peterson was in Utah this weekend amidst conflicting reports on just how much interest there is in him. Peterson said that the Nets are among seven teams that have contacted him. The 6'-7" Peterson, who turns 30 next month, had an up-and-down year with Toronto, but still averaged 8.9 ppg and 3.3 rpg in 21 minutes of action. In addition to having a reliable jumper, Peterson is known as a solid defender. He made $4.55 million last season.
