Karl said Thursday that negotiations between his representation and the Nuggets are progressing at a good pace. While a signing does not appear imminent, he said he's pleased with the attention that team president and governor Josh Kroenke and executive vice president/basketball operations Masai Ujiri have given the situation, considering the pressure they're under to resolve Anthony's situation. Karl表示沟通良好。 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." This is Karl's seventh full season as coach of the Nuggets. He took over halfway through the 2004 season. Earlier this season, he said he'd like to coach in the neighborhood of three more seasons with the Nuggets before deciding whether to retire. Either way, Karl has said he wants to end his NBA coaching career in Denver. Karl说希望能在金块结束教练生涯。 Asked whether he thought a deal would get done prior to the end of this season, Karl said: "I'm hopeful. That's more on their (Ujiri's and Kroenke's) plate than my plate." Karl has helped keep the Nuggets afloat in the midst of the distractions revolving around a possible trade of Anthony, and a rotation that changes constantly because of injuries. The Nuggets are 29-20 and have crept ahead of the Utah Jazz, their opponent tonight, and just 2 1/2 games behind Northwest Division-leading Oklahoma City. Karl is taking it all in stride. "Just part of the marathon race," he said. "We're all bunched up. It's all ready for a big battle down to the end." --
