  • As Brandon Jennings gets ready to start fielding offer sheets from clubs this summer, he says that he'll leave the process up to agent Jeff Schwartz, writes Shams Charania of RealGM.  Jennings has been unsatisfied with the Bucks in the past but he recently expressed some fondness for the club in an interview with ESPN's Scoop Jackson.
  • In today's column, David Aldridge of NBA.com suggested that Knicks assistant Darrell Walker would be a good fit for the vacant Pistons job.  Aldridge writes that the 52-year-old is a no-nonsense coach who's not afraid to challenge players when they give less than their best.  Detroit is looking for a new head coach after letting Lawrence Frank go earlier this month.
  • The Milwaukee Association of Commerce recently met to discuss the idea of building a new arena for the Bucks and the ramifications of possibly losing their NBA franchise down the line, writes Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel.  The city may also renovate the BMO Harris Bradley Center which was opened in 1988.
  • While speaking about Jason Collins' decision to come out of the closet, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau revealed that the club met with him while he was a free agent last summer, tweets K.C Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.  The spot that would have gone to Collins eventually went to Nazr Mohammed.
