I'm glad they've handed stewardship of the Hornets over to Stu Jackson. His sterling record as Grizzlies GM from 1994 to 2000 assures me that he's the right guy for the job.

player/owner war of attrition continues:
The NBA sent a letter to Andy Miller, Billups’ agent, on Monday morning, warning him there could be consequences for Billups if he fails to live up to his professional obligations with a team that claims him off waivers, a league source said.Miller had sent a letter to multiple NBA teams encouraging them not to put in a claim on Billups, and Billups told Yahoo! Sports that he could become a problem for a team that did so. The NBA reacted in strong terms, warning Billups he wasn’t allowed to usurp the amnesty process. Clearly, the NBA is on a mission to get a tighter grip on player movement.

I like the theory that Prokhorov just bought the Nets to establish a presence in the West so assassinating him would be more scandalous.

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds -- I'm just going to presumptively say that Chris Paul talks will fall apart at least 209 times tonight, then he will be traded to the Dodgers.

There is renewed momentum to push through a trade that would send Chris Paul from the league-owned New Orleans Hornets to the Los Angeles Clippers, according to sources close to the process.
