DerMarr Johnson, a shooting guard who has played the past two seasons with the Nuggets, said Thursday he's "going to (re-sign) before training camp" begins Tuesday in Durango.
The Nuggets also are on the verge of signing point guard Anthony Carter, a seven-year veteran who played the past two seasons for Minnesota, to a nonguaranteed deal.
Johnson said he will sign a guaranteed deal for more than the minimum of $932,015. He wouldn't offer further details.
"That's what they're talking about now," Johnson said of discussions between agent Dan Fegan and Nuggets officials. "I don't even want to say nothing (more) and be wrong. It feels good (to return). I've been working on my game all summer (primarily in Denver)."

Nearly six months after being shot four times in his legs and hip, Nuggets guard Julius Hodge is still struggling with his recovery.
Hodge recently suffered a foot infection related to his gunshot wounds, and he might be limited when training camp begins Tuesday in Durango, Nuggets athletic trainer Jim Gillen said.

Tracy McGrady said Wednesday he feels 100 percent health-wise and is pushing hard to get Bonzi Wells to come to Houston.
Wells' new agent, Merle Scott, said he expected Wells to make a decision by Friday. The Rockets, Nuggets, Heat and Bobcats are the leading interested teams, but the Rockets have an edge because of what they can offer both Wells and his old team, the Sacramento Kings.
While the Heat and Nuggets are right up against the luxury tax and thus would only acquire Wells through a sign-and-trade for another player, Houston could offer a sign-and-trade for a second-round pick and a trade exception worth $4.2 million left over from the deal that sent Moochie Norris to the Hornets last season. The Kings have said they do not want to take back additional salary that would put them above the luxury-tax threshold, and getting even a little something for Wells would be better than getting nothing.
McGrady hinted that he had pressed his pitch to Wells as recently as Wednesday morning, and said a decision from the nine-year veteran seemed imminent.
