Here is a quick little update on what is going on in the world of the NBA.  It involves information dealing with injuries, playing time, contract issues and much more.

Jason Kidd has said that he would be open to coming off the bench in order to help with the development of Roddy Beaubois next year.  This is highly unlikely.  Kidd did have a pretty solid season last year but he did slow down toward the end of the season.  Most likely he will still be the starter but his minutes might be cut to give Beaubois some more PT.

John Wall is the only player that the Wizards have scheduled so far for a workout.  The Wizards have the first pick in the upcoming draft and everyone believes that they will take Wall, but what does that mean for Gilbert Arenas?  More on that later.

Charlie Villanueva has decided to stay in Detroit this off season to work with head trainer Kevin Rand.  He was disappointed with his first season as a Piston due to it being riddled with injuries.  Hopefully he can right the ship and stay healthy for next season.

Amare Stoudemire has told the Phoenix Suns that he will not exercise his $17.7 million option for next season.  He wants to become a free agent.  That doesn’t mean that he won’t return to the Suns.  He wants a maximum level contract to return to Phoenix.

Andrew Bynum says that he will be ready to play in Game 4.  He was limited in Game 3 by the injury and most likely will be limited in Game 4.  If he is healthy he can be a force but right now it doesn’t look like he is at 100%.

Grant Hill has exercised his one year player option and will return to the Phoenix Suns next year.

Rumor has it that the Timberwolves have their eyes set on signing Rudy Gay this off-season and that they have made it a priority.

Where will LeBron James end up?  Nobody knows.  NY has the perfect market for him.  Chicago has a great market for him and a better team to surround him with.  Golden State has no chance of getting him but I can still hope can’t I?

Sergio Rodriguez has signed a 3 year deal with Real Madrid.  He would have been a restricted free agent this year.

Zach Randolph is a thug, but you already knew that.  He has been reportedly linked by authorities to 2 criminal investigations this off season.  One involving an Indianapolis drug ring and another involving a fight outside a club in Los Angeles.  No charges have been filed as of yet.
