Brian Shaw has said he is pleased to be the Denver Nuggets' head coach and has no plans to leave, and the team president reiterated the stance on Thursday amid speculation that the New York Knicks will pursue Shaw.

"Brian has said publicly – and privately to us – that his desire is to be here, and we feel strongly about him as our coach," Josh Kroenke said. "I don't foresee a scenario or circumstance where he's going to be anywhere but with the Nuggets next season."

The Knicks have yet to request permission to talk to Shaw.

Derek Fisher remains the frontrunner to be the target for Phil Jackson's coach on the Knicks. Fisher could also interview for the Los Angeles Lakers' opening.

Brian Shaw is the top preference of Phil Jackson to be the new head coach of the New York Knicks, according to a source.

The Denver Nuggets would require compensation for Shaw, but Jackson reportedly has not given up hope on the scenario. It is unclear whether the Knicks have requested permission to interview Shaw. The Knicks are also expected to be interested in Derek Fisher.

Shaw has stated he is pleased to stay with the Nuggets.

“I’m happy where I am,” Shaw said. “I have a job here, so all the speculation that’s out there, that’s just speculation.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won the NBA Lottery for the third time in four seasons.

Chad Ford of ESPN wrote before the lottery announcement that the Cavaliers would likely take Jabari Parker with the first overall pick if they won the lottery, but a source told him afterwards that Andrew Wiggins is the preferred pick. DraftExpress also has Wiggins as the top pick in their post-lottery mock.

The Denver Nuggets plan to discuss a contract extension with Kenneth Faried in the offseason.

"We'll talk to his representation," Tim Connelly said. " I think Kenneth is happy here. I think he's really embraced what (Coach) Brian (Shaw) is trying to instill. Those are the type of guys that deserve to get paid."

Faried is coming off his best NBA season, with career-best averages of 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 54.5 percent from the field.

Shaw said after the season that he expected Faried to return. Faried was subject to trade speculation during the regular season.
