There have been no significant updates, but George Karl says his talks with the Nuggets on a new contract continue to move at a good pace.

Nothing appears imminent, but the coach said Thursday that he's pleased with the attenion Denver's front office is giving his future.

Karl, who is in the last year of his contract, smiled when asked how negotiations were going. "OK," he said. "I don't think anything is drastic either way. I think it's still friendly and communicating."
