Jazz checking market for Carlos Boozer. The Jazz are undoubtedly checking the market for Carlos Boozer. So is Boozer’s agent, Rob Pelinka. But I can’t come up with any trade scenarios involving Memphis that would have intrigued Utah, unless the Grizzlies would have been willing to put together some type of package involving O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay and/or Marc Gasol. Did that happen? Not likely. Even Memphis owner Michael Heisley wouldn’t give up his franchise’s fairly decent foundation for Boozer, even if he thought the Grizzlies could re-sign him. – Salt Lake Tribune
Allen Iverson to New York City?. Ramon Sessions could receive a contract offer from the Knicks as early as Friday, assuming they don’t have a change of heart and shift their point-guard focus to Allen Iverson. Mike D’Antoni is said to favor Sessions, a restricted free agent who enjoyed a breakout season for Milwaukee last year. However, Iverson could be a cheaper alternative because the perennial All-Star is willing to accept a one-year contract that would cost the Knicks their $5.85 million mid-level exception. Sessions, 23, is hoping to receive a multi-year contract starting with the mid-level exception. The Bucks would have seven days to match the offer. – NY Daily News
No deal yet for Knicks, Lee. A meeting Thursday afternoon between Knicks restricted free agent David Lee and Walsh in New York may have helped clear the air between the forward and the team, but it didn’t lead to any movement toward a new deal. Lee and his agent, Mark Bartlestein, met with Walsh at the team’s practice facility in Greenburgh, N.Y., to discuss the stalemate between the two sides that has gone on since the start of free agency. Lee is seeking a multi-year deal that averages $10 to $12 million per season; the Knicks will not offer anything other than a one-year deal, in order to preserve potential salary cap space that would be used on next summer’s crop of free agents. They reiterated that position in the meeting with Lee. – NBA.com
