Knicks still sleeping (11:44 am EST)
All is still very quiet on the New York Knicks front.
I don’t know if there are any truth to the rumors that Knicks general manager Steve Mills is still in bed.
On a serious note, Mills has done nothing all season to improve the Knicks since taking over.
The same wouldn’t have been said for Glen Grunwald.
Henry Sims dealt to Sixers (11:32 am EST)
Sims and his expiring deal are also going to the Sixers as part of the Hawes trade.

So now it officially reads:
The Philadelphia 76ers send Spencer Hawes to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Henry Sims, Earl Clark and a pair of second-round picks.
Kings acquire Roger Mason Jr. (11:28 am EST)
Well this isn’t the home run that that Kings likely had in mind, but we have another trade to report.
The Kings will acquire Roger Mason Jr. from the Miami Heat and subsequently waive him, reports Ken Berger of CBSSports.com.
That clears a roster space and a little of cap room in case Sacramento is looking at something bigger, which according to reports is a strong possibility.
