NBA News & Notes - 6/24
-- Milwaukee, who owns the #1 pick in this month's draft, makes a risky and somewhat questionable move as they fire Terry Porter, a bright young coach with tons of upside. Rumors have them chasing either Flip "overpriced" Saunders or Nate McMillan with Porter possibly heading back to his playing career home, Portland.
-- New York makes another move in an attempt to get better, trading Kurt Thomas to the Suns for Quentin Richardson. Will this turn the tide for the Knickerbockers or is this just Isiah improving yet another team that he's not employed for.
-- Lebron subtly seeking control of Cleveland's future. Big wishlist he has there, the only realistic one on there would be Michael Redd, the Bucks haven't shown where they're going with him (to my knowledge).
-- Even the basketball gods frown on the Atlanta Hawks. After having the worst record in the NBA this past season, insuring that the Hawks would have the best chance to win the NBA lottery at the end of the season, they lost that as well, finishing with the 2nd pick behind Milwaukee. Thus the irony of all things, as Bogut impresses the Hawks but he may very well be gone by then. Their need is the big man, and I doubt there will be ever be a time like this again where a team will be disappointed if they end up drafting a talented phenom like North Carolina's Marvin Williams.
-- The man best known for being dunked on and not for his extraordinary height is getting ready to call it a career. Shawn Bradley, a 12-year veteran has begun talks with the Mavericks to buy out his contract.
