Nuggets forward Chris Andersen has made it clear that he hopes to re-sign with the club.
Andersen, coming off a two-year ban due to drug problems, was given a chance by Denver this season.
"Re-signing me," Andersen said when asked about the team's next step.
He made just $998,398 this year.
"What better place to play than at home?" Andersen said. "I love this city, I love this state. I appreciate everybody in the whole town for backing us and helping us prove others wrong."
Andersen is expected to earn a multiyear year in the neighborhood of the $5.585 mid-level exception.

Despite losing to the Lakers in six games, Kenyon Martin believes that the Nuggets are a better team than the Western Conference Champions.
"I think we're better than them, actually, to be honest," Martin said after Friday's season-ending loss. "But we didn't prove that. That's obvious, cause they're moving on and we're not. But I think we have a better team than they do.
"Some people are going to say maybe the experience of them getting to the Finals last year was a deciding factor. But I'm proud of these guys in this locker room. And I think as a whole, our team is better than their team."

Nuggets coach George Karl doesn't think that anyone could have covered Kobe Bryant during stretches of Friday night's Game 6.
"No. 24 had a great five minutes at the end of the (first half) that no one in basketball could have covered him," Karl told the Denver Post.
"He made about four shots in that stretch that I think Jesus would have had trouble covering. And those took the game from a manageable game to 13 (points)."
