The Cavs and Sixers have been in trade talks about Andre Iguodala, according to sources. The talks remain open and it is still possible the Cavs could trade for him, contrary to other reports at the end of the last week.

Trade discussions are still in the preliminary stage.

An advertisement featuring Kobe Bryant and LeBron James includes a gun reference.

The ad, just inside the inside cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, appears the same week Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended for carrying firearms to the locker room.

The players appear along with the slogan, "Prepare For Combat," is a quote from each player showing how tough he is.

Bryant's blurb says: "I'll do whatever it takes to win games. I don't leave anything in the chamber."

Delonte West's trial on weapons charges has been postponed until April 26.

Authorities say West was carrying two loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun and an 8 1/2-inch Bowie knife while riding a three-wheel motorcycle on the Capital Beltway in Maryland in September. Police say he was pulled over after cutting off an officer.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James has been fined $25,000 for kicking a water bottle during Wednesday night’s game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 12.4 seconds remaining in the first quarter of Cleveland's 109-95 victory over the Timberwolves at Quicken Loans Arena.

According to a Twitter post from CNBC's Darren Rovell, McDonald's has signed LeBron James to a multi-year endorsement deal.

James' first commercial will appear during the Super Bowl.

Antawn Jamison's name has frequently appeared in rumor mills, but he is anticipating remaining with the Wizards.

"I'm not going anywhere until they let my agent know," Jamison said. "I got a pretty good relationship with [the Wizards' front office], and all things pointing forward is being here until my contract is over with, so that's my mind-frame."

Jamison signed a four-year extension in June 2008 reportedly worth $50 million.

"I've been playing for a while, and I know how rumors get started, trade rumors, this and that nature," Jamison said, "but those guys have been looking at me in my face, and pretty much everything is staying put."

Published reports suggest the Cavaliers are a potential suitor for Jamison and that the asking price is Zydrunas Ilgauskas, J.J. Hickson and a first-round pick. Cleveland is one of the NBA's only legitimate title contenders.

"That's the only thing I think about is winning a title," Jamison said. "That's the reason why I'm still playing. That's the reason why I'm still going hard. It's the only thing that drives me and pushes me, so it's the only thing left I have to accomplish, and I'm going to continue to do that."

The Cavaliers are interested in acquiring forward Antawn Jamison from the Wizards.

However, a source told the News-Herald that Washington may not want to help out Cleveland via trade.

There is some bad blood between the two teams stemming from playoff battles and the Larry Hughes signing back in 2005.

Reports indicate that the Wizards want center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, forward J.J. Hickson and a first-round pick in exchange for Jamison.

Cavaliers forward Jamario Moon expects to play on Monday night against the Heat.

Moon hasn't played since Jan. 3 because of a left abdominal strain.

Cleveland coach Mike Brown said Moon has been medically cleared, but that he wasn't absolutely certain that Moon face off against Miami.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James was named today as the NBA?s Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, January 18th through Sunday, January 24th.  

In three games during the week, James averaged an NBA-best 34.0 points on .484 shooting, 7.7 rebounds and a league-high 10.7 assists in 41.3 minutes per game.  

The Denver Nuggets? Chauncey Billups was named the Western Conference Player of the Week.  Other nominees for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week were Atlanta?s Jamal Crawford and Joe Johnson, Miami?s Dwayne Wade, Milwaukee?s Andrew Bogut, Orlando?s Dwight Howard and Toronto?s Chris Bosh.

Lakers forward Ron Artest doesn't think the Cavaliers would be a playoff team without LeBron James.

"Actually I thought about that [Thursday]," Artest told CBS Sports.

"If you take LeBron off that team, no. They're not. They're nothing. Not that they're nothing, they're still human beings. But you take him off that team, no. I guess that's why they got me, to take him out of the game. [Thursday] it didn't work. They got us this year, so all we can do is move on from that and see what happens in the playoffs."

Artest, a Queensbridge native, added that his hometown Knicks need some star power.

"No disrespect to Cleveland, but we need some star power here in New York," he added. "We need some legit star power, so I can come down and beat up on 'em. We still need some star power here in New York. We need one of those big-time players to come here and get a great team, and when the Lakers play the Knicks, we beat 'em by like 40 or 50 points. It would be great hopefully one day to see a New York-L.A. championship. I don't have any power to do that, but it would be nice."
