Getting your player ready...
Steps are being made for the Nuggets to lock down coach George Karl for the next three years. Karl has been offered a contract extension worth around $11 million, a source confirmed this morning.
Karl, who is 244-152 with the Nuggets, is currently in the last year of his contract.
The coach of the Nuggets (19-9) has said he wants to be in Denver for a while. There are still semantics being worked out in the contract, the third contractual year has not yet been guaranteed, sources said.
Tonight, Karl faces another 19-win team coached by a guy in the last year of his contract — Atlanta and Mike Woodson.
