Thad Foucher, agent for Nuggets guard J.R. Smith, said he's continuing to have conversations with Nuggets executive Mark Warkentien about a possible contract extension for his client.
Barring an 11th-hour move by Wednesday's deadline, Smith will become a restricted free agent during the offseason. "It'd be fine," Smith said of that prospect. "I just got to play hard this year."

Kevin Durant, Seattle's second overall choice, moved fluidly while completing practice Monday, two days before the season opener at Denver. It was the first extensive basketball work for last season's national college player of the year since he sprained his left ankle in a preseason game Oct. 23.
Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo would not declare Durant ready to start at shooting guard in the nationally televised opener against the Nuggets on Wednesday night. Seattle then has its home opener Thursday night against Phoenix.
"He looked decent. He probably did a little more than probably we thought he'd be able to do," Carlesimo said, after Durant joined Earl Watson, Damien Wilkins, Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison on the first team for a scrimmage that ended practice.
