The Nuggets continue to pursue restricted free-agent center JaVale McGee, who has a five-year, $50 million offer on the table, a source said. But McGee’s representatives don’t appear to be in a hurry to get a deal done and will continue to negotiate.

The Nuggets can match any offer another NBA team would make to McGee, 24.

In the 20 regular-season games he played for the Nuggets last season, the 7-footer averaged 10.3 points and 5.8 rebounds and made five starts.

In the seven-game playoff series against the Lakers, he averaged 9.6 rebounds, 8.6 points and 3.1 blocked shots. He scored 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Game 5.

The Nuggets acquired McGee in a trade with the Wizards for Nene.

The price of NBA big men keeps going up. The Nets, now based in Brooklyn, resigned Brook Lopez this week to a four-year contract worth $60 million. Lopez, 24, has career averages of 17.4 points and 7.5 rebounds. The Pacers resigned all-star center Roy Hibbert, 25, to a four-year contract worth $58 million.

Andersen update. The investigation of a case involving Nuggets center Chris “Birdman” Andersen remains ongoing, more than two months after authorities searched his Larkspur home.

Sgt. Ron Hanavan with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that a task force created to investigate is still waiting for forensic evidence to come back from a laboratory.

A lawyer for Andersen, 34, has said that the family of a young woman from California who claimed she was of legal age tried to retaliate against Andersen by asking for money after he spurned her advances. Carlos Illescas, The Denver Post
