The Washington Post reports that Michael Jordan plans to steadily increase his workouts and hopes to decide if he's capable of playing again in time to allow the Wizards to chart their course.
|
There's still no timetable for a decision, and Jordan also told the paper that no one should read anything into his recent workouts other than him seeing where he stood physically.

Hakeem Olajuwon told the Houston Chronicle that he is determined to play next season, but he wouldn't say if he had received an offer from any team other than the Rockets.
|
After weighing a pursuit of Chris Webber, Rockets officials reportedly chose to make re-signing their own free agents their priority. Theoretically, that includes The Dream.

 |
The San Antonio Express-News reported that the Spurs improved their initial four-year offer to Derek Anderson by adding a guaranteed fifth season.
|
The free-agent guard appears to be sticking by his demand for a six-year deal. "If something gets done, it gets done. If it doesn't, it doesn't," Anderson told the paper.

According to the Miami Herald, the Heat will re-sign Anthony Carter to a three-year, $12 million deal, and head coach Pat Riley has repeatedly noted that Carter plays better with more minutes.
|
The move likely signals the end of Tim Hardaway's career in Miami, as the veteran point guard said last season he was not interested in backing up Carter.
|
 |
The Orlando Sentinel says that by committing to Patrick Ewing last week, the Magic may have hurt their chances of getting free-agent forward Horace Grant.
|
The Magic don't have much room to maneuver with Grant, because if another team wanted to pay more than $2.25 million for the veteran power forward, that team could win his services.
