• 2012 NBA Off-Season Rumors: Five Teams That Could Go After Jeremy Lin May 17, 2012
  Jeremy Lin isn't only being looked out by New York, if the Knicks go with Steve Nash over him, however you could see five other teams go after him. All of these teams I will mention will look at Lin if their first option is gone in free agency. Lin would surely put fans in the seats with his performance from last year.He also looks like a solid scoring point guard who could easily become a star in this league when his other tools of his game are redefined. If Lin were to somehow slip through New York's hands, it could get real interesting in July.Toronto RaptorsToronto needs an upgrade badly at point guard and Lin could surely fix that. Having Lin will also help the Raptors bring some fans back since the Chris Bosh era. Toronto was 17th in attendance this season and Lin will vault that up.On the court, he would form a nice duo with Andrea Bargnani.

• Doc Rivers named to NBA Competition Committee May 16, 2012
  Jessica Camerato: Doc Rivers named to NBA's new Competition Committee along with owners Dan Gilbert (Cavs) and Joe Lacob (Warriors); GMs Bryan Colangelo (Raptors), Mitch Kupchak (Lakers), Kevin O’Connor (Jazz), and Sam Presti (Thunder); fellow coaches Rick Carlisle (Mavericks) and Lionel Hollins (Memphis Grizzlies). The NBPA will also designate one member to serve on Committee. Said Joel Litvin, NBA President, League Operations on Committee: "The Board decided that the inclusion of owners and head coaches on the Competition Committee would add valuable perspectives to discussions about our game and how it might be improved. At the same time, we will continue to receive input on competition and rules matters from all 30 teams through the General Managers Committee." Maybe Doc will vote to get rid of flopping! I think we can all trust Rivers to do a great job on the committee, he's intelligent, thoughtful and really understands the game of basketball.
