Shaq to New Orleans?. There’s been a whisper or three about a potential Shaq landing in New Orleans, which would give him an opportunity to end his NBA career in the state where he gained fame as a college star at LSU. Undeniably, he’d be a significant gate attraction for the Hornets. And he’d have to just about refuse to show up for work – though, in the last few years, he’s been known to call in sick a little more often than his employers would have liked – to be worse than what New Orleans had at center last season. — New Orleans Times-Picayune

Cavs consider Shaq, Childress, Parker. Shaquille O’Neal is still a trade possibility for the Cavs. They want a big man who not only can defend Dwight Howard inside, but who also is an inside scoring threat. Ferry was disappointed in his bench scoring during the Orlando series and is looking for upgrades, which is why free agents such as Anthony Parker and Josh Childress are being considered. — Cleveland Plain Dealer

Knicks consider drafting Jrue Holiday. After Donnie Walsh met the media yesterday, the Knicks president watched UCLA guard Jrue Holiday in one final workout — Holiday’s second with the Knicks after being asked back for a redo. Holiday participated in the Knicks’ final workout because he may be the last man standing when the Knicks select Thursday at No. 8. The two point guards they have rated higher than Holiday — Stephen Curry and Tyreke Evans — could well be gone, Curry at No. 7 to the Warriors and Evans at No. 6 to Minnesota.

Spurs could make major trade?. If the Spurs were to make a major deal in the days, or hours, before the draft, it would not be a shock. Udoka’s expiring contract might even become a bargaining chip in such a deal. — San Antonio Express-News
