AROUND the NBA:

[Knutsen]

I think Giddeybis good but he was the weak link in the mavs series.  OKC just had better guys that can do what he does.  He is still very young too.  He needs to shoot better.

Maybe Caruso being on the last year of a deal impacted who would trade for him?

There are already news that they are looking to extend him, he is eligible for 4 years and 80 million I read. If they get some beef at the four or five, with Holmgren moving to the 4 in these minutes watch out.
