After an afternoon full of rumors, this comes along. Of course, there is always a lot of cloak and dagger with any trade rumor and the Clippers could just be posturing. Hollins and Shaw could both be great coaches in the NBA, so it would make sense for the Clippers not to dump too much into getting a new coach.

We're leaving Granger as questionable for training camp for now until we know exactly how he comes out of his rehab process. It's possible Granger is playing in a different uniform next season, but whatever teams that may be interested in him will want to be sure his knee checks out after a lost season.

West is an unrestricted free agent, but both sides have already expressed a desire to stay together. "He's priority number one," Pritchard said. It shouldn't be too difficult to get a deal done if the two sides can work amicably together as they've done previously.

Wojnarowski said it's not clear if Shaw's interview displaced Jason Kidd as the front runner for the job, but a four-hour meeting is long enough that we're taking notice. Shaw had been considered one of the leading candidates for both the Nets and the Clippers jobs, but that was before the recently retired Kidd reportedly blew the Nets away in an interview with the team. Kidd reportedly has a three-year deal with the Nets, so Shaw's interview Wednesday might have just been the team setting up a fall-back plan or trying to leverage Kidd in negotiations. Either way, we should know soon.

A deal with Jason Kidd appears on the verge of happening, but Mikhail Prokhorov is still sending a private jet to bring Shaw to Brooklyn. It's likely just a fall-back plan, or a leverage tool in negotiations with Kidd. Shaw has a much better shot at landing the Clippers job.

Augustin really struggled as a Pacer, averaging career-lows in points (4.7), assists (2.2), minutes (16.1) and field-goal percentage (35.0). His woes were especially noticeable in the Easter Conference Finals, when he couldn't even get the Pacers into their offense against the Heat's pressure defense. Indy needs to look elsewhere for George Hill's backup.

Bird may ultimately take another year away from the NBA, though he has a standing offer to return as the Pacers' top executive. Kings owner Vivek Ranadive has plenty of fallback options, as he's already interviewed Mike Dunleavy, Chris Mullin, Chris Wallace, David Morway, Travis Schlenk, and others.
