He did not rule out the possibility of conversations with Miami being revived. On Thursday, Brothers said Riley and Tinsley were scheduled to meet, and that Tinsley had interest in signing with the Heat.

Knicks Have Negotiating Rights On Jason Williams

Jul 31, 2009 3:26 PM

The New York Knicks have been awarded exclusive rights to negotiate with veteran guard Jason Williams through Aug. 6 after putting in a waiver claim Friday, according to NBA front-office sources.

In February, his agent, Dan Tobin, said the 10-year veteran was determined to come back in spite of the ruling that prevented Williams from latching on with a contender late last season.

"We anticipated this decision," Tobin said then. "So did Jason. But we look forward to seeing Jason back in the NBA in the 2009-10 season.

"One of the reasons we applied for reinstatement now was that we'd like to try to accelerate the process of him coming back."

Dirk Holds No Grudge Towards Thomas

Jul 31, 2009 2:14 PM

Dirk Nowitzki insists that an old feud with new teammate Tim Thomas is a thing of the past.

Thomas infamously blew a kiss to Nowitzki during an on-court incident in the 2006 Western Conference Finals while with the Suns.

"That stuff is long gone," Nowitzki told Marc Stein of ESPN this week. "We were in the bottom [six] in 3-point shooting and we needed to address that. I'm happy he's a Maverick."

The Mavericks, who defeated the Suns in the aforementioned series to advance to the NBA Finals, signed Thomas to a contract this week.
