The Nuggets are getting bigger with the re-signing of power forward Reggie Evans.
Denver has agreed in principle to sign Evans to a five-year deal that will be signed this week, according to an NBA source.
While the financial terms have to be finalized, Evans, 6-feet-8, 245 pounds, is expected to get less than the team's available full mid-level exception that would pay $5.215 million next season. Nuggets director of player personnel Mark Warkentien declined comment.
The Nuggets have 14 players on the roster, including eight power forwards or centers, not including Carmelo Anthony and Linas Kleiza, who are expected to play small forward. It's possible the Nuggets could make a trade using the power forwards or centers as bait. Such was the case last season when Denver traded guard Earl Watson and forward Bryon Russell to Seattle for Evans. Evans, 26, averaged 5.2 points and 8.7 rebounds in 26 games for Denver last season.
:smokin awesome! Hopefully he can control his hands this season :lol
