tidbits from around the NBA

[Mark Piotrowski <markp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

- Marc Stein suggested Dallas might trade A. Jamison to the Charlotte 
Bobcats for their #4 pick.



- Antoine to NY Knicks?
(from Hoopshype):  Isiah Thomas tried to include Kurt Thomas in two 
deals for Rasheed Wallace and also pulled out of a last-minute deal 
with San Antonio for Malik Rose. The Knicks will again attempt to lure 
Wallace in a sign-and-trade this summer and will use Thomas as trade 
bait. The Knicks making a run at Dallas forward Antoine Walker is 
another possibility. Kurt Thomas is from Dallas, and Mavericks owner 
Mark Cuban would like to bring him back home. "In this business there 
is always the possibility of change," Kurt Thomas said."  New York

- Bizdelek avaialable as the next C's coach?
(also from Hoopshype): The league's general managers some years ago 
thought Bzdelik was the best advance scout in the NBA. He's done great 
work everywhere he's been, from Northwestern University to University 
of Maryland-Baltimore County to the Bullets to the Knicks. But the word 
is out there: If the Nuggets don't make it into the playoffs -- and 
they lead Utah by only one game for the final playoff spot with 17 
games left -- Bzdelik will probably lose his job. If this is true, it's 
insane and would be the most irresponsible coaching move in a season of 
bizarre changes. Bzdelik was the loyal soldier last year when 
management clearly didn't want to win, when he was given a back court 
of Vincent Yarborough, who this year is playing in Italy, and Junior 
Harrington, who is now playing in Ukraine." Washington Post
