Morning Report: Mikki’s Got Offers

Mikki Getting Offers: Free agent Mikki Moore has been getting a lot of attention lately, and even a few contract offers. Moore's agent Mark Bartelstein has told reporters that his client has several offers to sift through and that making a decision is going to be tough. Moore has gotten a contract offer from the Boston Celtics, according to Marc J. Spears of the Boston Globe . The Denver Nuggets were also rumored to have interest in Moore, and with forward Nene going down last night with a knee injury, the Nuggets could step up their pursuit. Sources close to the situation say that Moore's motivation may not be tied solely to where he could win a championship, rather landing in a situation with a defined future. The Celtics, Nuggets, Lakers and Rockets are all said to have interest in Moore's services.

5 Things We Learned In The NBA

It's Sunday which means it's time to take a look at what the wonderful world of the NBA taught us this week.

Don Nelson gets win No. 1,300 for Warriors (AP)

Don Nelson herded his assistant coaches out of their offices and onto the court, posing everybody for a postgame photograph to commemorate his 1,300th career victory. The Golden State Warriors got their coach to that milestone Saturday night in memorable fashion as well. Their 133-120 win over Oklahoma City was pure, vintage Nellieball.

Barbosa’s 41 lead Suns past Thunder, 140-118 (AP)

The Phoenix Suns didn't slow down without Amare Stoudemire. Quite the contrary. They inserted the fastest Phoenix player of all, Leandro Barbosa, into the starting lineup Friday night and the "Brazilian Blur" responded with a career-high 41 points to lead the Suns to a 140-118 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Mid-Day Report: What Next For Suns?

Stoudemire Done: Phoenix Suns forward Amar'e Stoudemire underwent surgery on his eye (from Marc Stein of ESPN) for a detached retina and will likely miss the balance of the regular season. Return to physical activity is general set at around eight weeks, which would run into the first round of the 2009 NBA playoffs.

Morning Report: The Free Agents

The Free Agents: With the NBA trade deadline officially in the books, the next order of business is those pesky buyouts and free agents. A player must be waived by March 1st to be eligible for the playoffs. A player waived after March 1st can still sign with a playoff team, he just would not be able to play in the post-season, making the next 9 days an interesting time for guys who wanted to be traded and ultimately were not included in deals. Here is a list of guys you are going to hear a lot about in the coming days.

Missed Trade Opportunities

Plenty of deals got done on Thursday (especially if you were Chicago, New York, or Oklahoma City), but even more rumored transactions never got completed. Here are a few of the more notable missed chances:

Voided deal doesn’t stop Thunder at trade deadline (AP)

Undeterred by a trade that was rescinded because of a failed physical, the Oklahoma City Thunder moved ahead Thursday with deals that brought in guard Thabo Sefolosha from Chicago and forward Malik Rose from the New York Knicks. The Thunder sent a first-round pick in this June's draft to the Bulls for Sefolosha, who could fill a hole in Oklahoma City's backcourt.
