George Karl would like Denver to keep reserve point guard Raymond Felton.

"My hope is Raymond and (Ty Lawson) could stay together and kind of work the point guard position into a two-guard position," Karl said. "When we play them together, I still think that is one of our most powerful weapons. It wasn't as successful against OKC, but in those last few games, (but) it was really important to us. I still think that both of them are fantastic little guards, and I would like to have both of them back next year." …

The Nuggets surely will listen to offers for Felton. The 26-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and will make $7.5 million next season, compared with Lawson's $1.6 million.

Asked what they do about Felton, general manager Masai Ujiri said, "I think with what we've done so far, there's chemistry. Is that going to continue to next year? That's something we'll have to evaluate in the next couple of months. But Felton has had a great spirit here and has brought us leadership and a tough point guard mentality.

"Does Felton think he's a starting point guard in the NBA? Yes, he does. Is Felton a starting point guard? Yes, he is. He has proved that. So we'll figure it out."
