NBA NEWS
TJ Ford Retires - Ford retired earlier this week. He was drafted 8th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2003 draft. He played 3 injury plagued seasons there. He was then traded to the Toronto Raptors in 2006. Following an injury plagued 2007-2008 season, he was traded to the Indiana Pacers. Ford played for the San Antonio Spurs this season. I guess you can say he was a big time bust.
Mike D’Antoni Resigns - Mike D’Antoni resigned as the head coach of the New York Knicks.
Lakers trade Derek Fisher - Fisher, a long time Laker, was traded to the Rockets. The Lakers felt they needed to get younger and faster at the guard spot. The Rockets bought out Fisher’s contract, so he will be able to sign anywhere except the Lakers when he passes waivers.
