There is no timetable for Charlotte to rename its team to the Hornets and Adam Silver has said such a change would take at least 18 months to implement. Read More.
The Thunder made a business decision when trading James Harden nine months ago. Now, they need to be just as cold-blooded with Scott Brooks. Brooks has consistently left points on the board in each of the last three seasons and has shown no ability to learn from his mistakes. Read More. Written by Jonathan Tjarks on May 17, 2013

Nikola Mirotic impressed Zach Randolph when the Memphis Grizzlies played against Real Madrid this week.
The Bulls own the draft rights to Mirotic.
"I like his game," Randolph said. "The kid can play. He has to come into his own. But that kid has a shot. I don't think he's physical enough to be in the NBA as a power forward or center as of now. But he can play small forward the way he shoots. He can move real well. I didn't see a lot of ball-handling skills, but he'll be all right."
Mirotic is expected to remain with Real Madrid for at least two more seasons.
"He can shoot," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said. "He knows how to play. It's about getting stronger and learning the NBA game. It's so much more aggressive and physical. Over (in Europe), guys just stay on the perimeter and shoot.
"That part will be tough for him. We went small and played Rudy Gay at power forward and he became a non-factor. If he's playing against a bigger four, he'll have more of an advantage."
Real Madrid has offered Sergio Llull a six-year extension with an option on a seventh year.
The Houston Rockets own the draft rights to Llull, buying them for $2.25 million from the Denver Nuggets. Llull was selected with the 34th overall pick in 2009.
Llull averaged 9.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 24.7 minutes per game last season for Real Madrid.
