George Karl loves the city of Denver, and there have been rumors that the Nuggets could give him a contract extension.

"There are whispers," Karl told the Denver Post of an extension. "There was excitement and conversation, but the exact policy of what they're planning on doing, I can't say I know what that is."

However, he does hope to remain in Denver for the foreseeable future.

"I love Denver. I think I'll live in Denver even (after). I think I have one more four- to six-year stint of being involved (with basketball). Is that all coaching? That can only be determined by the stress — how you handle it, your health and all that stuff. I would like, after I coach, to have an opportunity to be a management guy. I love the game that much."
