The mutual interest between Jackson and Chris Hansen, who headed the group trying to move the Kings, had become one of the league's worst-kept secret. However, the NBA rejected the move and the Kings were sold to a group that will keep them in Sacramento, which Jackson said doesn't interest him. It also seems unlikely Jackson will be joining the Raptors front office, which had been one of the rumored landing spots for the former Lakers and Bulls coach. One thing that is clear is Jackson is very much interested in returning to the NBA in one form or another. Stay tuned.

Bogut expects to be 100 percent next season

Andrew Bogut said he expects to be 100 percent by the start of next season.
Bogut clarified the statement by saying that could change if "I go out and get hit by a car or something," which sounds funny but isn't all that far from the realm of possibilities given his injury history. Bogut's surgically repaired left ankle limited him to just 32 games in the regular season and affected him enough in the postseason that he required a painkilling injection during the first round. If Bogut can stay healthy for an entire season, he could have a strong fantasy impact but that's a very big "if" at this point in his career.
