The Nuggets are set to re-sign power forward Reggie Evans to a five year contract, a deal which is expected to 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.
