Like other NBA players who have stated interest in playing basketball overseas, Law and Jack have considered other options if the lockout continues into the regular season. "I understand why a lot of guys are considering overseas," Law said. "I'm considering some options overseas. These are our livelihoods. This is how we feed our families, and guys want to play. If they're not going to negotiate a deal, life goes on. Bills still coming in, we still have to provide for our families, so hopefully they get something worked out." ESPN.com

Jack didn't rule out the possibility of playing overseas. "It's possible, anything is possible," Jack said. "You've got to look at the situation really. Do your proper research and due diligence and see what works best for you individually. "I don't like to sit still, regardless of the current situation with the labor agreement, I play basketball non-stop anyway. This is just me. It's what I do." ESPN.com

Stephen Curry, Jarrett Jack, Marvin Williams, Jodie Meeks, Ekpe Udoh, Chris Singleton, Jon Leuer and many others are trading their playbooks for textbooks. Other players, such as Derrick Williams and Brandon Knight, haven't started the process but are considering re-enrolling at their respective schools. "I have to get that degree," said Udoh, who is currently chipping away at the final 14 hours of his undergraduate degree at Baylor University. HoopsWorld

NBA star Chris Bosh's Las Vegas bachelor party, dubbed "The Hangover 3," was a four-day bro-down on the Strip involving guns, booze, red meat and magic over the weekend. "It was everything these guys don't get to do during the season," said a source close to the 12-man party posse, including New Orleans Hornets Jarrett Jack and Pops Mensah-Bonsu. They landed in Sin City Thursday and headed straight to a shooting range to blow off steam before moving to N9NE Steak house. Friday included dinner at Lavo before Criss Angel's show, "Believe." Angel pulled Bosh onstage to make him part of the act, and later levitated before the Miami Heat player's crew backstage. Next stop was the Boom Box at Marquee. They played paintball the next day and partied at Tao, then capped off the festivi ties Sunday with a "Rat Pack" casino night at Caesars and a Mark Curry comedy show. New York Post

They must decide if they are going to bring back forward Carl Landry and guard Willie Green, who will both become free agents. Backup center Aaron Gray also can opt of his deal to pursue free agency. Jason Smith, David Andersen and Belinelli will become free agents. Also, Demps and Williams must wait to see if West re-signs or opts of his current deal. Coming off knee surgery, West may not draw a contract offer better than the $7.5 million he is scheduled to make next season if he does not opt out. “I think you always look at opportunities to get better,’’ Demps said Friday. “But again, from where started to where we finished, I think we’re in the right direction, and we want to build off that.’’ After completing their physicals and exit interviews Friday morning, most of the Hornets’ players refrained from specifying needs the team should address through free agency or trades. “Obviously, we came up short,’’ backup guard Jarrett Jack said. “A couple of reasons were pretty obvious. I’m sure Coach and Dell will do the necessary things to make us a more competitive ballclub.’’ New Orleans Times-Picayune

Bruce Arthur: I miss Jarrett Jack, and not just because he once told me, "I haven’t been to any of the strip clubs here, so they can’t be that damn good.” Twitter

With the Grizzlies making a strong push to unseat the Hornets, the players and coaches said they could use the extra motivation from a packed house rooting for the Hornets. “I don’t think you can ever have too much fan support, especially with this stretch that’s going on and the seriousness of the playoff run that we are going through at this third part of the season,” Hornets guard Jarrett Jack said. “We have a great amount of fans that come out and support us each and every night, but if we can get some more in there we would love to have them.” New Orleans Times-Picayune

And Jack knows all about heartbreak. That's what happens when you are traded three times over the last three seasons. Bad news. New team. Different city. Same expectations. Over his five years in the NBA, each year brings another opportunity to reflect on where he's at and how he got there. "I've always understood that aspect - the business side of basketball. The biggest adjustment for me is, I've never had to deal with it (being traded) in the middle of the season and learning the language this team uses," Jack told Beyond the Beat. "A lot of stuff we used in Toronto is the exact opposite of what we use here; different philosophies and calls, so that was the most difficult." Beyond The Beat

Prior to the game between Portland and New Orelans, Jack said he had the chance to catch up with Roy and only hopes the best for the three-time all-star. Jack also wants Roy to take his time coming back to the game. "I told him (Roy) to take it easy and just be cautious. Hopefully there is a lot more basketball ahead of him than just right now. We all know he probably could have played tonight, but we want to know if he can play tonight, tomorrow, and the next day after that. "There is a wear and tear in this league and it's a grind, but you have to be ready to play. Tomorrow is not promised for anyone." Beyond The Beat

New Orleans Hornets guard Jarrett Jack, who helped lead Georgia Tech to the 2004 NCAA title game, was arrested in Gwinnett County early Sunday on charges of DUI, speeding and failure to maintain his lane, police said. Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Jack, 27, who has an Atlanta address, was stopped in a black Mercedes-Benz shortly after 4 a.m. for speeding on U.S. 78 westbound near McGee Road, Snellville police said. He was driving 66 in a 45 mph zone, police said. "The officer paced the vehicle, verifying that it was speeding, and observed the vehicle cross the center line and the fog line," Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead wrote in an email. "He stopped the vehicle and smelled an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver, Jarrett Matthew Jack. He conducted field sobriety tests, which Mr. Jack failed." Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Because the police department's Intoxilyzer was not working, Jack was given the test at the Gwinnett County Jail, according to Whitehead. Jack registered a .079 at 5:38 a.m., 90 minutes after the traffic stop, according to Whitehead. "In general, alcohol dissipates from the system at approximately .02 grams per hour," Whitehead wrote. "Therefore, he would have been over the limit of .08 at the time of the driving infraction." Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Hornets have not shied away from long-term contracts as part of their roster shakeup (Trevor Ariza and Jarrett Jack) while also managing, in the short term, to drop nearly $4 million under this season's luxury-tax threshold. And sources close to the situation insisted to ESPN.com this week that Demps will continue to have the latitude to make deals between now and the Feb. 24 trade deadline -- even to go over the luxury tax if the right opportunity presents itself -- because the Hornets belong to the league now.
