According Atlanta Hawks beat writer Sekou Smith, the Hawks will announce former Sonics general manager Rick Sund will replace Billy Knight as general manager of the Hawks today. Read more about it here.
Sund was general manager for the Sonics for six seasons, which included two playoff appearances and one Northwest Division title. He's also the guy who helped pull the trigger on the trade that sent Gary Payton to Milwaukee and Ray Allen to Seattle. Check out Sund's bio here.
I’m sifting through depositions today, but decided to come up for air and post a few links on what is happening down in Orlando at the NBA pre-draft camp.
I’ve had a couple of people ask about making some of the depositions available. Initially when I received them paper copies were only made available. But some of them have now been filed electronically and I’ll post them as I get them throughout the day.
I’ll start with a deposition of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels.
I was asked to and removed the Wally Walker deposition because it was accidentally released and supposed to be under seal.
ESPN’s Chad Ford updated his draft board, and now has Derrick Rose going No. 1 to Chicago and Michael Beasley going No. 2 to Miami. Ford still has Arizona’s Jerryd Bayless going No. 4 to Seattle.
Ford also has a run down of the first day of the NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando, which you can check out here.
Draft express also provides a pretty good overview of what's happening in Orlando, along with a list of participants. That list surprisingly does not included Washington State swingman Kyle Weaver, who has been projected to go late first round or early second round, but decided to turn down an invitation to the camp.
Looking for some insight on the collective bargaining agreement? Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban provides a good run down of professional sports salary caps and why NFL owners opted out of the current collective bargaining agreement here.
