George Karl believes Andre Iguodala was Mark Jackson's "mole" during last season's playoff series between the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors.

"No question," said Karl when asked.

Jackson accused the Nuggets of playing dirty and intentionally attempting to cause an injury to Stephen Curry.

“I got inside information that some people don’t like that brand of basketball and they clearly didn’t co-sign it,” said Jackson to the media at the time.

"I thought Mark had a lot of tricks in that series that were bush- ..." said Karl. "I don’t know. I don’t know what they were. Almost high-schoolish. They were beneath the NBA level. And they might have worked. They might have motivated his young team in a good way. You know, he’d announce a starting lineup and start another guy. C’mon, man. You think we’re not ready for that?"

The Los Angeles Lakers have waived forward Elias Harris.

Harris appeared in two games for the Lakers this season, tallying a rebound, an assist and a steal in 11 minutes. The two-time All-West Coast Conference Team selection out of Gonzaga University started all five games for the Lakers’ 2013 Summer League team in Las Vegas, averaging 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.0 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony admitted on Friday that the New York Knicks need veteran players such as Jason Kidd, Kurt Thomas and Rasheed Wallace from the 50-win team of last season.

"I think now we do miss J-Kidd, Kurt and Rasheed," Anthony said.

The Knicks opted to go in another direction with the end of their bench depth, signing Cole Aldrich and Chris Smith.

Kidd and Wallace since retired and moved into coaching roles while Thomas suffered an injury late last season.

The Houston Rockets are seeking a trade of Omer Asik, but they have struggled in finding a package that merits his on-court value due to his $15 million salary for next season.

Asik will only count $8.4 million against the cap, but the salary is beyond his fair market value.

One rival general manager described the asking price of Daryl Morey and the Rockets as "delusional."

Asik requested a trade in the middle of November when it became clear that he would be unable to share floor time with Dwight Howard.

Rodney Stuckey has been the subject of trade rumors, but a league source claims he's not available.

The Pistons added to their backcourt in the offseason with Brandon Jennings and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Stuckey will be a free agent in July.

Tim Ohlbrecht will sign with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the D-League.

The Vipers are the D-League affiliate of the Houston Rockets.

Ohlbrecht was waived by the Rockets in July to clear cap space to sign Dwight Howard and was later claimed by the Philadelphia 76ers. Ohlbrecht was released in October by the 76ers.

Tony Parker believes he can play as many as 20 years with the San Antonio Spurs, similar to the longevity of Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“Why not?” Parker said. “The way I play, I think I can definitely play that long.”

“When I see (Lakers point guard) Steve Nash being an All-Star at 38, I feel like I've got the same kind of game,” he said. “Neither one of us jumps that much. We're sort of like the kings of layups and great pick-and-roll players, so I can see myself playing that long, too.”

Parker plans to play for France in the 2016 Olympics, which he promised will be his last international competition to Gregg Popovich.

Parker's current deal with the Spurs expires in 2015 and won't turn 32 until May.

“It all depends on what Coach Pop and the Spurs are going to decide with the team, but me, I'd like to play a long time,” said Parker. “I feel like I'm in my prime and my body feels great.

“I take care of my body, and I've already told Coach Pop that after 2016 I will be done with the (French) national team. So I think I can play a long time.”

Mark Cuban does not expect to have difficult contract negotiations with Dirk Nowitzki in the offseason as the Dallas Mavericks expect to keep the star forward for the rest of his career.

“We’ll just sit down and we decide,” Cuban said on Wednesday. “We’ve been doing this for 14 years, so I don’t expect the drill to change.

“I’ve delivered on what I’ve promised, so we’ve got a good relationship.”

Nowitzki is in the final year of the four-year, $80 million deal he signed in the summer of 2010. Cuban believes that breaking the bank and making the most money possible is not in Nowitzki's mindset.

“Making hundreds of millions of dollars,” Cuban said, “will do that to you.’’

Kendall Marshall will join the D-League, turning down offers fro China and Europe.

Marshall has entered his name into the D-League's pool of players with a waiver process next week set to determine the team to acquire him.

Marshall was traded by the Phoenix Suns before the start of the season to the Washington Wizards and was subsequently waived.

Marshall was the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing trade scenarios involving Dion Waiters.

The Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers have spoken to the Cavaliers, with Luol Deng, Iman Shumpert and Evan Turner mentioned as targets.

Waiters is open to being traded from the Cavaliers.
