Ty Lawson hopes to sign a long-term contract extension with the Nuggets this summer.

“It's definitely a goal,’ Lawson said.” I want to be here long term. I'm pretty sure my agent and Masai (Ujiri, the Nuggets' executive vice president of basketball operations) will talk this summer."

Lawson averaged 19 points on 51.4 percent shooting in Denver’s seven-game series against the Lakers.

Asked Sunday about Lawson, Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri said: "He's going to be a big part of the Denver Nuggets. We're excited. Ty is going to grow even more. He made a little jump, and he'll continue to make jumps as he gets older."
