Jeremy Lin - G - Knicks

When speaking about the recent extension given to head coach Mike Woodson, Knicks GM Glen Grunwald also said he "can't see a scenario where we don't keep [Jeremy] Lin."

The case to hear if Lin will be eligible to be re-signed under the "Bird Rights" won't be until mid-June, but it sounds like the Knicks plan on bringing him back no matter what. There will be several teams interested in Lin, as the Raptors, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and even the Warriors have been mentioned as possible suitors this summer. The bottom line is that New York can match all offers for Lin and it looks like they will do just that.

The New York Knicks have given Mike Woodson a multi-year contract extension, as the team officially announced him as head coach on Friday.

The Knicks announced the contract extension, but the terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Knicks finished the regular season 18-6 under Woodson and managed to win one game against the Heat in their first-round playoffs matchup.

Dwight Howard - C - Magic

Jeff Bowen is expected to interview with the Orlando Magic next week for their vacant GM position.

Expect the Magic to interview several candidates before making a GM decision, as it will likely affect the direction they want to take in Dwight Howard's contract situation.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

Posting on the Trail Blazers official blog, LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) said that he has started walking again after his hip surgery.

Aldridge goes on to say that he is working his way back to 100%. The recovery timeline of 2-4 months seems realistic at this point and LMA is hoping to return for the beginning of next season.

LeBron James - F - Heat

LeBron had three games in the Heat-Pacers series in which he scored at least 30 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished five assists, putting his all-time total of 30-10-5 playoff games at 16, most among all active players.

30-10-5 is a dominant stat line, but until LeBron erases 0 from his stat line of rings, his detractors will always have something to harp on. Something tells us that James may need at least one additional 30-10-5 game this year for the Heat to win the necessary eight more games for that elusive championship.

Anthony Davis - C - Player

The NBA has announced that the Draft Lottery will be held on Wednesday at 8 pm ET, right before Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Lottery proceedings will move to the Times Square studios of ABC as opposed to Secaucus, NJ, where it has been held since 1994. Charlotte has a 25% chance of landing the top pick, but Anthony Davis is considered a lock to be picked #1 overall, no matter who wins the lottery on Wednesday night.

Nick Young - G/F - Clippers

The Clippers want to re-sign restricted free agent Nick Young, a source tells the Orange County Register.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday that the team and Young "want to make a deal," so this really isn't all that surprising. Young is from L.A. and has made no secret that's where he'd like to play. The Orange County Register speculates that he could serve as a scorer off the bench or move into the starting lineup at shooting guard with Chauncey Billups and Randy Foye both unrestricted free agents.

Luol Deng - F - Bulls

Luol Deng (wrist) met with the Bulls front office to discuss his plan for the Olympics.

Deng said recently that he's still undecided on wrist surgery, but he remains committed to playing for Great Britain in the London Olympics. "We certainly care a lot about Luol and how he feels," Tom Thibodeau said. "We just want to make sure from a health standpoint he's good with everything." It remains possible that Deng could be sidelined for the beginning of next season.
