"He's going to wind up fine here at the end of the day," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "I think there are going to be some teams out there that are going to regret not going after him. He is a coach's dream. The hardest thing in this league to find is bigs that play with great energy every night, and just change the tenor and dynamics of the game." Golden State, New Orleans, Indiana, Toronto and Charlotte are among the teams that have been linked to Amundson. "Louis and I would like to have something done yesterday," Bartelstein said. "At this point it's gone on for quite awhile and he wants to make sure he doesn't make a decision just to make a decision. There are a couple variables that have to play out that we think give us a clearer picture of what we think is the right spot. As soon as that becomes clearer, he'll want to make a decision right away." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Pacers Looking At Possible Deals
"I can't tell you if something is going to happen or not but we're still looking," Bird told Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star. Bird also provided updates on the conditions of Tyler Hansbrough, Jeff Foster and A.J. Price. Hansbrough hasn't been cleared to go all out. "When they release him to go, he'll go," Bird said. "I don't know when that's going to happen. I know he's got another meeting with his doctors coming up. "He's in top condition. I don't worry about Tyler as far as being in shape." Foster has been limited, by design, following offseason back surgery. "There's no use in going all out right now," Bird said. "He'll be in shape. I know how hard it is to sit out a whole year and come back. It takes time. "Jeff is a specialty-type player. Whatever we can get out of him, he'll help us." Price is back on the court following serious knee surgery. "It's going to be a challenge for him to be 100 percent for training camp," Bird said. "He's looked pretty good, but he's not 100 percent. It's still good that he's able to go against some competition." Via Mike Wells/Indianapolis Star Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Bulls Set To Hire Adrian Griffin
At 36, Griffin will become one of the youngest bench coaches in the NBA. "I am very fortunate," Griffin said. "I was just a player two years ago and now I'm a coach. It's very competitive to make an NBA team as a player, but it's even more competitive to become an NBA coach. There are only a few of them (usually five) on each team. "God has been good to me." Griffin had been a behind-the-bench coach for the Bucks. "The Bucks were supportive and I appreciate them being so kind to me," he said. "I owe a lot to Scott [Skiles]; he gave me my first coaching opportunity. Scott was great. "And John Hammond (the Bucks general manager) was excellent. I'm grateful to all of them."

Phoenix made long-term commitments to Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress this summer, meaning they'll likely let Dudley become a restricted free agent next offseason. "It would be nice," Dudley said of an extension. "I'm not optimistic. My mindset is to go out and play my last year and go as far as we can. At the end of the year, I know if we win, I'm going to have a good year. I do a pretty good job of keeping healthy. My goal is to come out and have a better year than last year and have the team better. When a team is successful, everybody usually does pretty well. Look at Channing (Frye). $30 million.
