Jason Kidd to the Knicks?
Because of his comfort level with his teammates and city, and of course, the chance to get an $8 million-$9 million contract, odds are that free agent Jason Kidd will re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks. Yet, he has an intrigue with the New York Knicks that is mutual, and a Knicks source says they plan to try and meet with him once free agency starts on July 1.Yahoo! Sports

Coach of the year on the hotseat
There are reports of infighting in the Cleveland Cavaliers organization in the wake of their disappointing loss to Orlando in the Eastern Conference. And the consensus around the league is that Mike Brown was badly out-coached by Stan Van Gundy in the series. It's a tough and unfair job; you are Coach of the Year after winning 66 regular season games. Plus you go 8-0 to start the playoffs and yet maybe you're not the right guy for the job.NY Daily News
Rubio not feeling Grizzly
The source said it's likely that Rubio and his camp will skip visits to Memphis. The Grizzlies hold the No. 2 pick, but the source said Rubio is leery about playing in Memphis after two other Spanish players -- Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro -- had bad experiences there.ESPN
Ty Lawson works out for the Pistons
Lawson, a lightning quick penetrator that excels in transition, would be a candidate for the Pistons' first-round pick (15th overall). Lawson's knock is his 6-foot frame and questions about his ability to play defense at the NBA level.Free Press
Ginobili hopes to stay in San Antonio
Ginobili is hopeful he can reach a deal that would allow him to finish his career in San Antonio."I have said a thousand times, I would love to stay here," Ginobili said. "You know how the NBA is, though. There are not a lot of players who get to start and finish in the same place. I love San Antonio. If I have to take another road, you do what you have to do. But it would not be my first option, for sure."

Tyler Hansbrough auditions for the New Orleans Hornets."I've had three people guarding me in college," Hansbrough said Friday after the first of the Hornets' predraft workouts of eligible prospects at the Alario Center.

Antoine Walker not as fat
An NBA source said ex-Celtics forward Antoine Walker is in his best shape in years, as he hopes to return to the NBA after being cut by the Grizzlies last season without playing a game.The Boston Globe
Rasheed going to Cleveland?
Rasheed Wallace and the Cavs are beginning talks on a two-year deal worth about $10 million per for the services of the former Piston. The move and negotiations were inspired by Dwight Howard's dominant performance over Cleveland's big men in the Eastern Conference Finals. And Wallace will be brought in for that very purpose, to neutralize Dwight Howard next season and help the Cavs get over the hump.Slam Online
Shaq a Laker once more?
Where does Shaq want to go? Multiple league sources, including with the Lakers, believe Shaq wants a return engagement with the Lakers. They think that's why he has spent this season trying to repair the damage done to his relationship with Bryant. He tried to buddy up on All-Star weekend when they were co-MVPs, but give Bryant credit: He refused to engage with Shaq on a revisionist make-believe about how it never was so toxic between them.Yahoo!

Reunited?
Larry Brown says he's still receptive to coaching Allen Iverson, who'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but wonders whether the Bobcats -- a team far from championship contention -- is the right fit for Iverson this late in his career. Brown coached Iverson in Philadelphia in what was a successful, but sometimes combustible, relationship.The Charlotte Observer
Bosh seeing green
Relax Celtics fans, he's seeing money green."Don't you have enough money?" joked Dan Loiselle, the Woodbine track announcer.
Clearly not. The way the 25-year-old Bosh was talking yesterday - when he shot down talk of a contract extension this summer - he is preparing for free agency in 2010, when he'll be in line to sign the biggest deal of his career.
While he set the odds at "good" that he'll be back in Toronto after next summer - the Raptors, after all, can pay him more than any other team - it's hardly a guarantee. And so Bryan Colangelo, the general manager, is in the midst of making a tenure-defining read of the tea leaves, to either bank on Bosh re-signing next summer or to engineer an asset-salvaging trade before Bosh leaves for zilch.

Davidson coach Bob McKillop says Stephen Curry would suit Knicks
Stephen Curry can shoot. In theory, Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo offense produces open shots.So are Curry and the Knicks a match made in draft lottery heaven?
Bob McKillop, Curry's former coach at Davidson, thinks so.
"Mike plays a full-court game - he's constantly in attack mode. That system is a very good fit for Stephen's talents," McKillop told the Daily News Tuesday. "I think he'll be very effective because of his physical talent as a shooter and ... the unselfish nature of the way he plays the game."

Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and Kyle Korver can all opt out of the final year of their contracts
Utah faces either being light on cash -- but with last season's team virtually intact to make a run in the playoffs -- or having some money to spend on filling big holes left by the departure of anyone who elects to go.''There's a lot of options the organization can go in,'' Williams said. ''There's just too much to worry about at this time.''

Ben Wallace retiring?
"ESPN reports ex-Piston and now Cavaliers big man Ben Wallace is considering hanging 'em up. "I'm going to sit down and talk with my family, weigh my option and come up with a decision," Wallace said. "Nothing's definite, but there's a strong possibility that this was my last season." Ben's 13 years into his career and certain his prime was in the Pistons No. 3. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year missed 25 this year, battling several injuries. Big Ben sounds serious, considering he's owed $14 million next year. "I think I deserve (a buyout)," Wallace said. "But if I don't get one and I've just got to give it up, that's what I'll do.""
