Marion Trade Rumors Resurface

보스턴이 실제로 매리언 트래이드에 관심이 많다는 소식입니다. 한편, 디트도 라쉬드를 이용해서 매리언을 얻으려 한다는 루머도 있네요.

Arizona Republic - 06/12 - 4:13 AM EST (AP Photo)

A league source confirmed Celtics coach Doc Rivers' interest in Suns forward Shawn Marion, and Danny Ainge, the Celtics' executive director of basketball operations, has been a fan of the forward since being his first Suns coach.

The Suns' interest in such a deal is unknown.

Marion's name also has surfaced in trade rumors with the Detroit Pistons , who would send forward-center Rasheed Wallace to Phoenix.

This idea would be conflicting for Phoenix.

Wallace's skills are a good fit, but his on-court behavior contrasts with the club's emphasis on character. [READ]

Steph To Zeke: Take Shooter

 마버리는 이번 드래프트를 통해 퍼리미터 슈터를 영입했으면 한다는군요.

New York Post - 06/12 - 7:09 AM EST

Stephon Marbury said yesterday he'd like to see president/coach Isiah Thomas add another perimeter shooter in the June 28 NBA draft, in which the Knicks hold the 23rd pick.

"It would be great to have a guy like Steve Kerr," Marbury told The Post.

"To get a shooter, somebody like that style of player, that's something you don't have a lot of in the league, shooters like Kerr, Glen Rice. It would be great to get somebody to shoot the ball and keep people honest." [READ]

AP - 06/12 - 6:05 PM EST

Buzz Peterson is leaving coaching to join Michael Jordan.

Peterson resigned Tuesday as coach at Coastal Carolina to become director of player personnel for the Bobcats. Jordan, Peterson's former college roommate and teammate at North Carolina, is part-owner of the Bobcats and has final say on all basketball decisions.

Owner's Son Sends Kobe A Message On MySpace

 래이커스의 오너의 큰아들 조니 버스가, MySpace를 통해 코비에게 글을 남겼다고 하는군요. 변화가 필요하고 그 시점이라면, 코비 네가 어디로 가든지 행운을 빌어주겠답니다.

Los Angeles Times - 06/12 - 12:49 PM EST

Johnny Buss, the oldest son of Lakers owner Jerry Buss, sent a bulletin to friends on his MySpace.com page that contained a peculiar reference to Kobe Bryant.

"If you've been following the Kobe drama, I want to let you know it's not really drama … sometimes we all need to make a change in our lives and that's all it is," Buss wrote. "Popular or unpopular, when it's time, it's time. Good luck Kobe wherever you go!"

A freelance photographer, Johnny Buss is not part of the Lakers' front office and holds no decision-making authority in the day-to-day operations of the franchise. The Lakers have no plans to trade Bryant, who two weeks ago said publicly he would like to be traded. [READ]

Carlisle Declines Front Office Job With Pacers

 릭 칼라일 감독이 페이서스의 프론트 오피스 직장 자리를 거절했습니다.

ESPN - 06/12 - 11:06 AM EST

Former Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, who had the option of staying with the organization as part of its management structure, announced Tuesday that he is leaving the club.

The Pacers decided on April 25 that Carlisle would not be retained as coach and hired former Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers coach Jim O'Brien as his replacement on May 31.

"I have given notification that I will not be returning to the Indiana Pacers next season as Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations," Carlisle said via e-mail.

"I met with both Larry Bird and Donnie Walsh last Friday and expressed my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to come back next year in a front office capacity, but felt it was better for both the Pacers and myself to part ways at this time," he said in the e-mail. "Jim O'Brien and Dick Harter are great basketball men who I respect and have worked with before, and they will do an outstanding job with this team going forward."

Carlisle, who went 181-147 in four seasons with the Pacers, is believed to be a top candidate for the coaching opening in Seattle that will be filled by new Sonics general manager Sam Presti. [READ]

J.R Smith Could Face More Charges In Crash Death

 JR스미스가 예상되었던 것 보다, 사고에 대해 더 많은 책임을 질 수도 있다고 합니다.

ESPN - 06/12 - 10:57 AM EST

A police investigation will determine whether Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith will face additional charges in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in the death of Smith's passenger, a close friend.

State police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones said prosecutors will continue investigating evidence from the accident, including results on a toxicology test of Smith, before deciding if additional charges should be filed, according to The Denver Post.

"If [Bell's death] changes anything, it changes the way the prosecutor might look at it," Jones said, according to the Post. "They are the ones we work with in terms of charges beyond any traffic charges."

Earl Smith, the father of J.R. Smith, told the newspaper that his son and Bell were close. He said the accident is weighing heavily on his son.

"They bonded. They were the best of friends," Earl Smith said, according to the Post. "He's just praying for his friend. It's the toughest part."

Smith has been issued two traffic tickets for failure to stop at a stop sign and improper passing, Jones said. Both carry fines, though the amount was not immediately known. [READ]

Suns Exploring Draft-Day Moves?

 피닉스에 관련된 소식인데, 드래프트, 2장의 1라 후반 픽, 매리언의 행방 등등이 얽혀, 복잡한 것 같습니다 -_ -..

East Valley Tribune - 06/12 - 4:54 AM EST

The Phoenix Suns , who have two late first round picks, worked out Georgia Tech guard Javaris Crittenton, who is rated no worse than a mid-first-round pick and could be a lottery pick if his stock continues to rise over the next few weeks.

If Crittenton fell to No. 24, the first Phoenix pick, both he and the Suns would be stunned.

According to the East Valley Tribune, Phoenix certainly doesn’t intend to stand pat. Chances are at least one and possibly several moves will take place before Crittenton finds out where he’s going on June 28.

While Shawn Marion is involved in rumors, the Tribune writes that the team may try to move some mid-range contracts, such as Marcus Banks or Kurt Thomas, to give the team some luxury tax breathing room.

Forgotten much of the season, Thomas got a lot of playing time against the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals and played well. But there is a feeling inside the organization that the move gave into San Antonio’s style, rather than forcing the Spurs to match up with the Suns.

If Thomas ($8 million next season) is moved, Phoenix would need another big man, likely fitting the bill of an athletic, shot-blocking post.

“The goal at the end of the day and at the end of the summer is to get better,” Suns owner Robert Sarver said. “Money is a factor, but not as big a factor as winning. I can’t think of a situation where I didn’t follow the recommendation of our basketball people. I feel good about the plans we have.” [READ]

Grizzlies Planning More GM Interviews

 멤피스는 2 명이상의 GM 후보자와 인터뷰를 가질 것이라고 합니다. 제리 웨스트와 멤피스의 오너가 친한가 보네요.

Memphis Commercial Appeal - 06/12 - 4:42 AM EST

Jerry West and Griz owner Michael Heisley recently returned from a weeklong golf trip to Scotland, and both said Monday that the team will interview at least two additional candidates.

Known applicants that have interviewed for the job include former Denver boss Kiki Vandeweghe, Boston general manager Chris Wallace, former NBA point guard Mark Jackson, and David Griffin, Phoenix Suns senior vice president of basketball operations.

Griffin removed his name from consideration and that left Wallace as the No. 1 candidate, according to several published reports.

"We're definitely considering Wallace. We're also considering three or four other people," Heisley said. "But we've got an interview or two yet to do. So we're still conducting interviews. We have not made a decision. I'm hopeful we'll make a decision in the next week."

Former Chicago Bulls player and executive B.J. Armstrong remains a person of interest for the Griz. But several members of the Griz organization believe Wallace is a clear frontrunner. [READ]

Dumars Says Pistons May Shuffle Roster

 듀마스가, 이번 여름에 팀을 개선할 수 있다면, 열린 자세로 모든 가능성을 타진하겠다고 말합니다.

Houston Chronicle - 06/12 - 4:08 AM EST

Labeling himself disappointed but not discouraged, Joe Dumars said Monday that he would take an open-minded attitude into his summer's work of reshaping a team that had lost in the Eastern Conference finals two years straight.

"The bottom line is this: If we can't get it done, we can't get it done, and I'll make changes," said Dumars, Pistons president of basketball operations. "I won't even blink an eye about it."

Speaking for the first time since the end of the season, Dumars laid out a vision for the summer that made no promises about who will stay and who will go. [READ]

Scott Williams Tells Suns Of His Interest In Coaching

 스캇 윌리암스가, 선즈의 어시스턴트 코치 자리에 관심이 있다고 합니다.

Arizona Republic - 06/12 - 4:05 AM EST

Scott Williams was not leaving his interest in the Suns' assistant coaching vacancy to chance. He showed up at US Airways Center on Monday and made it known.

The Suns need a coach who can work with big men after losing top assistant Marc Iavaroni, who recently became Memphis' head coach.

"As a (big man) in this league for 15 years, I'd like the opportunity to come down to talk to Coach (Mike) D'Antoni on a formal basis and (General Manager) Steve (Kerr, a former Chicago teammate)," Williams said. "I worked hard as a player in the league. I'm not afraid to start at the bottom. As an undrafted player, I made it 15 years. I have the work ethic. I can sit behind the bench. I can pass balls. I can put my body on bigs in practice.

"They need someone to bang a bit. It's one thing to have players bang against each other all the time. It's nice for players to have that one coach to help with your fundamentals." [READ]

Spurs Cautious As Series Shifts To Cleveland For Games 3, 4

 던컨과 스퍼스 선수들은 클리블랜드 홈 구장의 위기가 결코 만만치 않을 것임을 예상하고 있습니다.

San Antonio Express-News - 06/12 - 4:02 AM EST

Tim Duncan knows about Sunday's fourth quarter and the confidence the Cleveland Cavaliers might have gained from their rally. He knows Quicken Loans Arena will be loud and unfriendly tonight.

He knows what happened to the Dallas Mavericks last season when they won the first two games of the NBA Finals, then hit the road, and he certainly hasn't forgotten what happened two years ago when the Spurs nearly met the same fate in Detroit.

But Duncan knows something else, too. How he and his teammates feel heading into Game 3 of the Finals.

"We're confident," Duncan said. "We're going in there to get to four. However long it takes."

While the Spurs led for all but 1 minute, 41 seconds of the 96 minutes in the first two games, they were similarly impressive while taking a 2-0 lead in the 2005 Finals against the Detroit Pistons . After walking into the Palace of Auburn Hills, they lost the next two games by 17 and 31 points. Only Robert Horry's heroics in Game 5 prevented them from returning home in a 3-2 hole.

"It was really embarrassing," Manu Ginobili said. "So, hopefully, especially the guys that were in those Finals, learn from that and we are more humble going into these games." [READ]

Texas A&M Forward Jones Withdraws Name From Draft

 텍사스 A&M의 포워드 조셉 존스가 드래프트 선언을 철회했습니다.

ESPN - 06/12 - 3:59 AM EST

Texas A&M forward Joseph Jones said he has withdrawn his name from the NBA draft and will return to the Aggies for his senior season.

Jones said last month that he would participate in the draft if he thought he would be one of the top 15 picks. He did not hire an agent, thus protecting his college eligibility.

"I feel like I was not getting the response from the NBA people in the spot I wanted to be in, which is the first round or something guaranteed," Jones said in an interview with Houston station KRIV. [READ]

UNLV Offers Kruger $5.2 Million Over The Next Five Years

AP - 06/12 - 1:56 AM EST

UNLV has offered coach Lon Kruger a contract that would guarantee him $5.2 million over the next five years.

The contract extension, which needs approval from the Nevada System of Higher Education regents, comes after Kruger led the Rebels to a 30-7 season. UNLV reached the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the first time in 16 years.

"This contract is necessary to demonstrate a commitment to our men's head coach," says the document negotiated by UNLV athletic director Mike Hamrick and included in an agenda for the regents' June 21 meeting in Reno.

The new five-year deal would provide a big raise from Kruger's current contract, which had three years remaining. [READ]

ESPN - 06/11 - 10:28 PM EST

A New Jersey man who was thrown from Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith's sport utility vehicle when it overturned last weekend died Monday night in the hospital, state police said.

Andre Bell, 21, was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle Smith was driving when it went through a stop sign, collided with another car and flipped over at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in Millstone Township.

Bell, who was in a coma, died from head injuries at 6 p.m. at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, said state police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Smith, 21, who was also thrown from the sport vehicle, remained at Jersey Shore on Monday with an injured left shoulder and numerous scratches, Jones said.

Neither Smith nor Bell were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash, he said. [READ]
