Andris Biedrins will exercise his $9 million player option for the 2013-14 season, according to his agent, Bill Duffy.

"He will not opt out," Duffy confirmed.

The Warriors signed Biedrins to a reported six-year, $54 million contract in the summer of 2008.

Ernie Grunfeld believes there's talent beyond the top two picks in the upcoming draft.

"Well, I think it’s a three-player draft," Grunfeld said, when told the draft is being described as top heavy, with the top two players being Nerlens Noel and Ben McLemore. "But I won’t tell you who that third player is."

Grunfeld seemed to suggest the Wizards already have a player in mind.

"Obviously we've been going through this process already, but the process will continue," he said. "And as I said before, we feel good about the player that’s probably going to be available to us at that spot."

Grunfeld wouldn’t rule out the possibility of trading the No. 3 pick.

"Well, I think everything is on the table," he said. "We feel good about where we are, we think we’ll get a nice player, but you never say never to anything."

The Minnesota Timberwolves are targeting Victor Oladipo in the NBA draft, according to league sources.

The Timberwolves currently have the ninth overall pick and would have to move up to get Oladipo.

Flip Saunders is likely to engage the Charlotte Bobcats, holders of the No. 4 pick, in trade talks.

Trey Burke is scheduled to work out for the Orlando Magic before the June 27 draft.

Burke has scheduled just one workout thus far.

"I may do three or four (workouts with teams), two or three, I don't know (yet),” Burke said. "Everything's not (totally) scheduled yet still."

Burke doesn’t have a preference for where he could end up.

"Wherever I go, it doesn't matter," he says. "Wherever I go, I'm going to be ready to play right away.

"Try and contribute at a high level."

After playing a second consecutive season with a torn ligament in his left wrist, Luol Deng doesn’t plan to have any procedure to repair the wrist, a league source told RealGM.

Deng made his second straight All-Star team this season for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 16.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and three assists in 75 games. He decided to bypass surgery after last summer’s Olympics and played all season with his wrist taped.

Instead of undergoing surgery, Deng will rest his wrist. He also dealt with a fractured thumb earlier in the season.

Deng led the Bulls to a 3-1 series lead over the Brooklyn Nets in the first round, but he missed the final seven games – including the series win – of Chicago’s playoff run due to lingering symptoms from a spinal tap. He’s since recovered and felt better. The Bulls’ season ended in a Game 5 series loss to the Miami Heat on May 15.

Over the past two seasons, Deng has cemented himself as an integral, durable forward on the Bulls, establishing himself under Tom Thibodeau as one of the NBA’s elite wing defenders.

P.J. Carlesimo had a 35-19 record as interim head coach of the Brooklyn Nets and said that expectations from ownership are not lining up with the level of talent on the roster.

Carlesimo, however, did say that the Nets' head coach opening is one of the best in the NBA since they are a playoff team.

"Having said that, the expectations to win a championship in two years, that’s a heavy load for anybody, not just for Brooklyn. But I don’t know if that’s realistic the way the roster is right now," Carlesimo said Thursday.

"I wouldn’t say that team cannot win a championship, because we thought we could this year if things broke a little better for us. But if that’s on your plate that you need to win a championship in two years, I think that makes it a little challenging."

Mikhail Prokhorov said after buying the Nets in 2010 his goal was to win a championship within five years. 

"I also think the expectations are maybe not totally realistic, but you’d rather have that from your owner, and then he’s got the wherewithal to back it up," Carlesimo said. "That’s his goal. We talked about that from day one. He doesn’t make any bones about it. He doesn’t want to have a nice team, he doesn’t want to just sell tickets in Brooklyn and make the team competitive. He wants to win an NBA championship, and as a coach you can’t ask for more that. So if what comes with that is a short leash, well, so be it."

Tim Duncan is reportedly going through divorce proceedings with his wife Amy.

Court papers filed last week include a request that legal discovery in the case be postponed until after the Spurs' last playoff game.

The Duncans met at Wake Forest when Tim was on the basketball team and Amy was a cheerleader.

Amy initiated the divorce proceedings on March 27.

Richard Orsinger represented Tony Parker in his divorce from Evan Longoria in 2010.

The Boston Celtics have denied a request from the Brooklyn Nets to interview Doc Rivers for their head coaching vacancy.

Rivers has three years and $21 million remaining on his contract.

Danny Ainge declined to comment on the interest Rivers is receiving from the Nets.

"Doc has told me he's coming back," Ainge said. "I talk to him almost every day about our team and what we are going to do moving forward."

Otto Porter Jr. is under consideration by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick, according to a source with knowledge of the team's thinking.

Porter is a sophomore forward out of Georgetown.

Chris Grant selected Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters higher than most had projected.

Joe Dumars is “comfortable” with the Detroit Pistons staying in the middle of the draft lottery.

"I'm good with it," Dumars said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday night. "I just talked to Tom Gores about five minutes (ago) and I basically said the same thing ... there are no franchise changers, there's no franchise guy, really, that you're looking at in this particular draft.

"So to be at seven or eight, we're going to get a good player.  We'll add another really nice piece to the core we that already have and we'll move forward.  So like I said, I'm very, very comfortable with it and OK with it -- totally OK with it."

Dumars said the Pistons are most focused on perimeter players.

"You rate these wing guys and it gets to the point where the ones you rated in the top seven or eight (are off the board), so why not take the best big guy or the best player on the board at that point?" he said.  "Our preference is to look at the perimeter with this particular pick.  But by no means are we locked into that where that's all we're going to take, no matter what."
