Week In Review: 1/21/13 - 1/27/13

A look back at the news stories and transactions of the past week.

• The Lakers continued to struggle, but the team is not considering firing head coach Mike D'Antoni. There are increased rumors that the team may look to move Dwight Howard, with the Nets as a possible trade partner.
• Rajon Rondo suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. This news has caused increased speculation that the Celtics will look to trade Paul Pierce. 
• The city of Sacramento is continuing its efforts to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle.
• The Grizzlies traded Marreese Speight, Wayne Ellington, Josh Selby, and a future first-round pick to the Cavs for Jon Leuer. The move gets Memphis under the luxury tax and makes it less likely they will move Rudy Gay or Zach Randolph.
• Keyon Dooling has hinted at a comeback, possibly with the Celtics as a short-term replacement for Rondo.
• Anderson Varejao was ruled out for the season after a blood clot was discovered in his lung.
• Josh Smith made it clear he wants a max contract.
• The Rockets reinstated the suspended Royce White after reaching an agreement on how to handle the rookie's anxiety disorder. White will report to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA D-League on February 11.
• John Hammond agreed to a three-year contract extension as GM of the Bucks.
• The Hornets formally announced their name change. They will become the Pelicans next season.
• Ray Allen revealed that he may retire after this season.
• Andrei Kirilenko strongly hinted that he is planning to pick up his option to stay with the Timberwolves next season.
• The Spurs signed Australian big man Aron Baynes. 
• The Grizzlies signed forward Chris Johnson (not to be confused with the Timberwolves center of the same name).
• Former Lakers guard Darius Johnson-Odom signed in Russia.
• Delonte West signed with the D-League's Texas Legends, but the Mavericks ruled out re-signing him.
