Rashard Lewis is the likely free agent who fits the description Knicks' senior vice president of basketball operations Glen Grunwald gave when asked what he wants: "versatile, athletic, long players." But the Knicks would have to give up Channing Frye and/or David Lee to get him. Ron Artest falls in that category, too. -- Newsday Florida's Billy Donovan becoming the next coach of the Heat is not a rumor, just random speculation, similar to talk that Tom Crean could be the next Heat coach. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Reports a few weeks ago about Reggie Miller being tempted to come back to play games were indeed true. -- New York Post The Mavericks already has one small guard (Jason Terry) under contract through the 2010-2011 season and a coach in Avery Johnson with an aversion to going small. If you were Devin Harris, 24 years old and eager to show the NBA how good you can be, wouldn't that make you wonder about your future with the Mavericks? -- Dallas Morning News The Celtics can't escape speculation about whether they are throwing games or whether they should be. Unable to escape talk of Greg Oden and Kevin Durant and ping-pong balls, Doc Rivers followed a 92-84 loss to the Bobcats Wednesday with a disclaimer. "I was not tanking the game," said Rivers. -- Boston Globe If Denver coach George Karl's son, Coby, isn't drafted, he looks to be in line for an invitation to Nuggets summer camp. -- Rocky Mountain News Sonics' most pertinent offseason concern is the coach. Bob Hill is not under contract past next month and there has been no word on his status for next season. -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Alonzo Mourning is just 14 points short of passing Glen Rice on the Heat's career scoring list, but his status for tonight's game remains questionable. Mourning, who has 9,235 points with the Heat, sat out of Wednesday's game because of soreness in his right knee. -- Miami Herald | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
