I'd love to read an oral history of the "We Are The World" music video. Make it happen, @grantland33
Jazz president Randy Rigby says he is a pretty lucky guy in general. Jazz hope so. He'll represent the 14th-slotted Jazz in Tues. lottery
Estimated media availability for Gruz at 1230. But they just finished film session at 1250. Must have been a blast.

Tomorrow: "Your reaction to Vogel saying your mom's ugly?" MT @YourManDevine: LeBron James, Pacers coach Frank Vogel: yhoo.it/12GYkwp
Novak said "it was frustrating for me'' not to play vs. Indiana. Said he's son of coach and understands but "it's not what you want.''
LeBron extremely diplomatic about Pacers and Vogel today. Hopefully that will put this non-story to bed.
Next up, we'll post the @Tyson Chandler video on KnicksNow.com. Should be available soon... #Knicks
I'm kidding, of course. As someone who wants to wretch at the "Johnny Football" oversaturation, would never do that to you guys.
More LeBron on Pacers, "We're very excited about the opportunity to go again them. So it should be fun. It's two really good teams."

Tyson and Shumpert saying the Knicks need to have a more diversified offense with less standing around and watching.
George Washington's new court design has an image of the D.C. skyline wapo.st/13G1GRe (via @SarahKogod)
I've been searching Twitter carefully, and so far I have seen zero headlines saying "Report: Dwight Howard Not Signing With Celtics." Hmmmm.
Spurs were really good and had Memphis flustered but Memphis was awful defensively slow on everything . Tuesday will be different
Re: Ujiri. Not saying he made Denver that way, they always played that way. Point was very different than Casey style.
A less radical solution: no custom protections on picks. You can either lottery-protect it or leave it unprotected. No in-between.
Obviously I'm not dumb enough to bet on the Pacers beating Miami. But can I get awesome odds on them pushing it to... say, 6? Worth a flier.

Coming around to @SherwoodStrauss' side on this issue. Protecting picks is giving a team a get out of jail free card. sbn.to/Z8ldKH
Spurs #1 play all year - Parker left sideline in early O right hand driblle off Duncan left elbow pick -- didn't run it once in 1st Q.
Where would be the best to buy or get #fatheads would be? Changing up the look #InsidePurple #NBAheadshots #photos
Is anything more "First Take"-ish than LeBron James and Frank Vogel "next team" stuff? C'mon.
I'm filling in for @JasonRoss1140 TODAY from 12-3 p.m. We'll talk #SFGiants ugly road trip, Phil Jackson & your Kings offseason wish list
"I'm more comfortable shooting the ball from a stand still position," @Iman Shumpert said. He added, "Making that improvement was big for me"
Also understand that Puerto Rico are being lined up to face Great Britain's men in a friendly in London in August.
In Jerusalem back-to-back weeks for playoffs coverage for @ONE_CO_IL. Home team looking to close out, Netanya to avoid elimination.
Fans are significantly overestimating how damaged Colangelo’s reputation is in NBA circles. He’ll get another GM job.
I believe Jason Kidd negotiates a buyout with Knicks. I think Marcus Camby stays and Rasheed brings his warmth and winning smile as a coach.
re-watching Spurs Griztoues 1st -- WOW Tony Allen was gettng torched everytime he gambled. No man's land defense = 3 pt from Spurs
Chandler was talking about series of illnesses over last year or so -- flu. strep, etc. Was hard to tell what the timeline was.
Also, my good friend @Al Iannazzone (who loves the Sopranos) informs me that Chandler might have been referring to earlier in year re strep.
Though he's going into 3rd season, Shump has never played summer league, because of lockout (in 2011) and knee surgery (2012).
Shumpert also said he plans to play in Vegas Summer League, to work on his game and get more coaching.
Shumpert reiterates his sentiment from Saturday: That Knicks failed. Said anything less than ECF was a failure.
Iman Shumpert said coaches want him to play in summer league in Las Vegas. He has never played summer league.
The book about the Lakers I would like to see is the one by Karl Malone and his season in L.A. No agendas.
FYI: MSG renovation, I mean transformation, will be completed this summer. That's code for "the middle class Knicks fan has been priced out"
The biggest non DRose question of the off-season for the front office. RT @ESPNChiBulls Should Bulls trade Deng? es.pn/12p9cND
I also took part in today's 5-on-5 on the playoffs so far and conference finals: es.pn/YUPkTz (free!)
Summing up Spurs today: Not expecting to hit 14 3s again, expecting the real Memphis to show up in Game 2.
Chandler, like Felton, said Knicks need to stay together and grow together. Everyone needs to improve he said, "coaches, too."
And now some Raiders fans are furious at me. For saying they're not at peak franchise success level. Yeah, my fault.
Chandler also blamed his weight loss from having a strep throat late in regular season to lessening his strength. Had lost 10 pounds.
Chandler said he wished he was healthier down the stretch and could have played more coming into the playoffs. He said he was out of rhythm.
Tyson said he "doesn't know'' about his buddy Jason Kidd's future. Said JKidd needs time away to think.
The #Orlando #Magic hope Pat Williams will be their good-luck charm Tuesday night. The story: ht.ly/ld8LY
Tyson said weight loss affected him a bit vs. Indiana. Lost some strength. Said he'd like to grow on offense to balance out perimeter game.
Guess which teams are making significant moves? Bulls get Derrick Rose back, Danny Granger returns to Pacers and Rajon Rondo rejoins Celtics
I wonder how happy Colangelo is with this solution. Stripping him of basketball decision making is significant, but he’s still employed, so…
Tyson Chandler acknowleged his poor playoff performance, but doesn't feel he let the Knicks down because we gave all he had.
Tyson doesn't think he let his team down in the playoffs. Said conditioning off neck off injury weight loss contributed to poor play
I agree with @AshleyFoxESPN -- a Super Bowl, specifically Super Bowl L, at Lambeau Field would be special -- espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id…
Chandler acknowledged his poor playoff performance. Said he never regained his rhythm following absence from illness.
Illness led to major weight loss, which Chandler said impacted him more than any lingering effects from neck injury.
Tyson Chandler said he never really got his timing back after missing so much of late season. Wished he could've come back before playoffs.
#Spurs lineup of Parker, Green, Leonard, Splitter and Duncan was better defensively than Conley, Allen, Prince,... fb.me/27cX4e3R0
Tyson Chandler disclosed that he had strep throat just before playoffs. Caught it from his daughter.
Common theme of "we need to grow together" & "we all have to get better" sounds like front office isn't convinced it can make major changes.
Everybody can relax. Raymond Felton is going to spend some time with Jason Kidd in the Hamptons over the offseason.
"Right now we are a jump shooting team. I would like us to be a more free flowing offense" @Tyson Chandler #Knicks
More Tyson Chandler: "I really believe this team has a bright future. You have to mature together, you have to grow together."
Pretty sure everyone knows my stance on that (I know DLee and Joe Lacob do) and DLee's not at the Rudy Gay level. Very hard to trade.
A whole bunch of Redskins fans explain why they bought RGIII wedding presents off his registry wapo.st/13FWIUM
Tyson Chandler on whether he let down the team vs Indiana: "No, you can't let the team down if you gave them 100 percent."
Heat 2-to-15 favorite to beat Pacers in East finals, according to Bovada.lv. Heat at 7-2 to sweep Pacers; Pacers at 75-1 to sweep.
Also, I purposely didn't mention a theoretical David Lee trade in the GSW/Memphis model piece yesterday (bit.ly/12mAofW)...
Draft fever takin ahold of me. Here's a piece by @mikerothstein about top-five pick Trey Burke: m.espn.go.com/ncf/story?stor…
So silly. Who was the reporter? MT @YourManDevine: LeBron, Vogel, reportorial whoopsies & a game of telephone. yhoo.it/12GYkwp
But yeah, I guess the Chargers and Padres are so incredible right now that I'm a dastardly human for not mentioning them.

As I speculated earlier on @fan590, reports from Yahoo & others seem to confirm colangelo will stay on w/ team but search for new GM is on
Shane Battier wouldn't be surprised if Mike Krzyzewski, his coach at Duke, comes back to coach at 3rd Olympics. sulia.com/my_thoughts/d2…

The fact Frank Vogel is misquoted then several outlets run with it says a lot about media. Come on gang...better than that.
And it's flipped for Bay Area, too: Giants, A's, 49ers, Stanford football and Warriors are all reasonably stronger now than in a while.

Kenyon Martin, who wasn't wearing a black suit, says his advice would be to "bring Kenyon back." (Thank God he's not the GM.)
Not a single Pacer reserve is a plus for the playoffs. You can argue that Miller-Anthony-Lewis-Jones would be stronger than Pacers bench.
UCLA hoops, USC football, Dodgers, Lakers, Angels, no NFL... These are not banner times in SoCal. I guess it all rides with LA Kings now.

Norris Cole and Ray Allen were a minus-0.2 together in regular season. They are a plus-7.9 in playoffs.
Five teams have overcome odds worse than NOLA's 8.8% to get No. 1 pick. Most recently Chicago in 2008 with a 1.7% chance. Got Derrick Rose
Wouldn't it be something if J.R. Smith says he needs to take a break from clubbing and will be a homebody for the next few months.
.@Raymond Felton said he is going to spend some time w/ @Jason Kidd this offseason. Work out w/ him & "pick his brain" #Knicks
Pacers-Knicks Game 6 drew a 17.8 in Indy—the market’s third highest-rated NBA game on ESPN. NY’s 9.8 was its largest rating ever.
The Heat's best 4-man group in the playoffs? The bench group. Cole, Allen, Battier and Andersen are a plus-6.9 per game.
NBA Draft notes from last night: If you're looking for a quick fix, this may not be the lottery for great luck. tinyurl.com/lpvl3vs
"Being a better leader, being a better PG on the court, being a little more vocal -- aggressive in that sense" Felton on improvements
13.9 and 5.5 per game for Ray Felton is solid and he's really not making a lot of money. CP3 is still on the top of every fan's wishlist.
Felton reminds everyone that you have to be patient. I'd remind him this is New York. Patience is in short supply.
Felton: The chip is still there and losing to Indiana is only gonna make me stronger, it’s only gonna make our team stronger."
"Work on getting better, staying in shape, & come back stronger next yr" @Raymond Felton #Knicks
For what it's worth, one spot the Knicks cap doesn't restrict them is coach: Could upgrade, but won't.
Still waiting for the year when a player somewhere says, "My teammates are awful. I hope we trade them all. And coach should be fired."
Felton wants everyone back next year. They must have shown him salary cap situation in his exit interview.
Knicks exit interviews underway. Spoiler alert: Everyone wants to stay. Everyone thinks they can get better without major roster changes.
Felton: "I love our team just the way it is. When you start making too many changes, you can’t build on something"
And Felton borrowed a page from Carmelo Anthony's Saturday-night speech in saying "I would say it's a great year.''

No NBA? Well, Seattle, at least now you don't have to root for DeMarcus Cousins csnnw.com/blog/dwight/no…
On corporate side, Colangelo has built strong MLSE ties with Canada Basketball, made sure Raptors active with charities, etc.
BC staying on in a corporate/advisory role would probably make it easier for Ujiri to take his job and not feel like he’s holding the knife
Yesterday was so tough, even hard-to-beat @thefishnation blue shoes couldn't prevent Game 1 loss. Off to practice in a bit. #BelieveMemphis
Now Tim Leiweke's "still working on it" comment to me other day about BC is making more sense. I thought they were working on his exit ...

Martin did play well when called upon. He signed a 10-day as insurance on Feb. 12 and ended up being a key piece of the rotation.
Kenyon Martin was first Knick to speak today, said he wants to return. Asked what he would do if he was GM, "Bring Kenyon back," he said.
As per @Adrian Wojnarowski Bryan Colangelo could be staying on at MLSE; one source telling me it would be in a corporate role, not basketball.
To open Baggy Day, Kenyon Martin says he would like to be back and believes he proved he can still play at a high level.
Kenyon Martin starts the wrap-up - met with Knicks front office and said, all positive, told them he wants to be back.
