The Nuggets apparently have upped their interest in re-signing free-agent forward Chris Andersen.

But it remains to be seen whether they will offer him any guaranteed money.

Marc Fleisher, Andersen's agent, said he spoke with Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe a few days ago. While contract numbers were not discussed, Fleisher said he was pleased with what he was hearing.

"(The Nuggets are) showing more interest in Chris," Fleisher said. "(Nuggets officials have) talked among themselves, and there's an increased interest in keeping him."

Andersen wants to return to the Nuggets, but it likely will take a good bit of guaranteed money for next season. Fleisher said two teams, which he would not name, have offered Andersen a "fully-guaranteed" contract.

Fleisher said the Nuggets have not offered guaranteed money. He said Andersen hopes to make a decision on where he will play in the next week, and it's up to the Nuggets to get back to Fleisher if they want to better their offer.
