Hornacek questions whether Knicks players are "capable of" playing defense. Noah didn't seem happy with that:

4 of the Knicks' 5 starters have started on top-5 defenses.

Vertical Sources with @ShamsCharania: Atlanta is finalizing a deal to send guard Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

 

[Hoop Head]

Do the rules change this year in regards to fan voting only accounting for 50% of the totals for the All-Star starters? I can't believe that Ginobili #8 for the guards in votes so far with Jeremy Lin being #8 in the East after only playing 12 games with fairly pedestrian numbers.

I guess I overlooked it before but somehow Zaza Pachulia has the 2nd highest vote total for frontcourt players in the West.

One major thing teams in on Millsap must consider: He's expecting to get upwards of $140 million ($35m/yr) as a free agent this summer

So if you're trading for him now, you're giving up assets now & paying $140m this summer. Hearing NOLA isn't up for that

Good luck with that one. Only bad teams have "substantial" picks, and Millsap makes no sense for a bad team.

Jimmy Butler is a legitimate superstar.

Stockton has to be first... he set records for assists per season IIRC. Nash second I imagine, though Isaiah racked up some pretty big seasons. Oscar might be the running, too.

I'm sure he's the all time leader and he probably did it at the quickest pace too. But it seems to me that Magic racked up a lot of assists in a short period of time too.
