Andrew Bynum was asked whether he expects to sign a long-term extension with the Lakers.

"I'm not sure," Bynum said. "It really doesn't matter to me. I'll play anywhere. I think for the most part I had a pretty decent season and then an OK postseason. Obviously this last game was the worst game I've probably played. It sucks, obviously, we're going fishing. My focus is next year and coming back stronger, adding things to my game."

The Lakers have a $16.1 million team option on Bynum for next season.

"I definitely want to stay," Bynum said. "You kind of asked an open-ended question. Obviously things are going to be different come next year. I'm going to be ready."

Adam Morrison competed in the start of a three-day mini-camp staged by the Nets in East Rutherford.

“He knows how to play. Unfortunately he didn’t have a point guard who could find him because he came off screens open,” Nets general manager Billy King said. “But he knows how to set himself up, come off screens. He didn’t make some shots early, but he got them to go. One thing, we know he can do that."

Morrison was selected by Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Bobcats with the third pick of the 2006 draft.

“I understand I’m never going to shake being a bust or being a failure in some people’s eyes,” said Morrison. “I’ve experienced a lot of highs in basketball, so I guess you could call it a hardship, but it’s really not. I get to play basketball for money. That’s pretty good.”

Delonte West said that there is "no question'' he'd like to return to the Mavericks.

"It's in the Lord's hands,'' West said. "All I know is that it's always tough in free agency. I hope I showed this team and the NBA that I'm invested in the future. I kind of really found my groove this year and I'm still a young man, but I also have so much playoff experience.

"I've been to the playoffs (almost) every year and I'm just going into my prime. Once I incorporate the floater into my game, I feel I'll be very valuable to anybody's team. In these playoffs, I see how deep all these teams are and a guard like myself could be very valuable. I've found a home here in Dallas. And I'd like to finish my career out here.''

West signed a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum last December.

Some rival executives believe Dwight Howard may be more willing to sign a long-term deal with the Magic this offseason following his season-ending back surgery.

The Magic parted ways with Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith on Monday, a sign that there is new hope of the team retaining Howard.

Jeremy Lin's agent, Roger Montgomery, said that he doesn't expect negotiations with the Knicks to be as simple as they have been portrayed by Mike Woodson.

Woodson said that Lin would "absolutely" return when he was asked about it following the end to New York's season.

“I don’t expect that," said Montgomery. "We’re not anticipating that’s going to happen. We don’t have assurances of anything. I know history shows most restricted free agents go back to their team, but I’m not going to assume anything. We’re waiting to see what happens.’’

A source confirmed that the Raptors will be one team pursuing Lin.

The Knicks cannot be outbid for Lin.

Mo Williams will not opt out of his $8.5 million player option with the Clippers for the 12-13 season.

"No," Williams said when asked if he would opt-out this summer. "I can tell you that right now."

Williams averaged 13.2 points and 3.1 assists per game in a reserve role.

"This is my first time in this position. I don't think about it when I'm playing," Williams said. "I haven't thought about it. I pay a good man four percent of my money, so he'll make a good decision for me."

The Clippers were swept by the Spurs on Sunday, but the team is already looking ahead to the future.

Blake Griffin is eligible for an extension this summer, while Chris Paul is under contract for just one more season.

The Clippers are confident, however, that both players will be retained for the long-term.

"I feel those things are going to get done," Clippers president Andy Roeser told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "The important thing is that we have to do other things to improve the team. But I believe we'll do those things and ultimately I believe those two players (Griffin and Paul) are going to play out their careers here."

Griffin will receive a max contract offer from the Clippers when he becomes eligible on July 1st. But Griffin hasn't thought about his options.

"I haven't given it one ounce of thought," Griffin said. "That's been the furthest thing from my mind, honestly. I know that's kind of the popular thing to say, but I haven't thought about it. I'll get to that when it comes."

A source close to the situation says Paul has given the Clippers indications he intends to remain with the team long-term.

Both Griffin and Paul are curious to see what moves the Clippers make during the offseason to improve.

The Nets have opened contract extension talks with Gerald Wallace, general manager Billy King confirmed.

"We've had conversations with his representatives because actually we can talk about the potential of [an] extension if he opts in,” King said. “We'll leave that there."

The Nets are hosting a draft combine this weekend at their practice facility.

"The one thing I learned from Donnie Walsh when I was an assistant coach in Indiana, he said, 'If this is where you're making your evaluation, you're too far behind,'” King said. “We've seen these guys play 5-on-5 in college, so this is just another part of the process. What we base our decision on is really what they've done with their college program. This is more just to get their real measurements, see if they pick up the NBA pick-and-roll and the coaching."

Andre Miller, an unrestricted free agent, told Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri he wants to stay in Denver.

"I had a great meeting with Andre Miller," Ujiri said. "With Andre's comments, he wants to be respected as a veteran, which we feel he has to be respected as a veteran. He even said to me that Ty (Lawson) helped him, because the minutes he played, he took care of his body, he didn't play as many minutes. I think Andre's looking forward to being on this team, I think he likes the role. I can't discuss contracts but it's stuff we're going to talk about and figure out."

Miller earned $7.8 million during the 2011-12 season.

"Do we want Andre back? Yes," Ujiri said. "Collectively, the organization, ownerships, Coach Karl, teammates, we want Andre back, he was great for the team. Andre told me he wants to be in Denver. And all the contract stuff will take care of itself."

Mike Conley Sr., agent for Greg Oden, says his client is interested in signing a free-agent deal with the Miami Heat.

Conley said that Oden may be ready to return to the court in December or January "as far as being effective and in shape."

Oden has appeared in just 82 career games since being selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft.
