Week In Review: 3/4/13 – 3/10/13

Our long national Dwightmare may not reach its conclusion until this summer, but we at least have one pesky NBA storyline out of the way.  This week, the Jazz finally reached agreement with veteran Raja Bell on a buyout.  The two sides have been at odds all season and Bell did not suit up for Utah once all year after being told not to come to training camp.  Here's more on the week that was on Hoops Rumors..

• The Raptors are likely to offer an extension to Rudy Gay and are going to look to get a proven post player in return for Andrea Bargnani.
• Bucks guard Brandon Jennings is thinking about signing a qualifying offer.  The club is also going to make a strong effort to re-sign J.J. Redick.
• The Nuggets are expected to target Kyle Korver this summer.
• Three teams have interest in Italian forward Gigi Datome, including the Celtics.
• The Knicks are going to be without Amare Stoudemire for six weeks and are looking for help.
• The Jazz discussed deals for Paul Millsap with the Pacers and Clippers but ultimately did not move him.
• Speaking of near deals, the Bucks almost landed Josh Smith at the deadline.  Milwaukee was closer to landing the Hawks forward than the 76ers.  The Celtics also came close to moving Paul Pierce in a deal for Smith.
• Manu Ginobili wants to play for two more years.
• Al Harrington hopes to play for five more years.
• GM Daryl Morey inked an extension with the Rockets.
• The Heat were high on Nikola Vucevic but didn't land him.
• The Wolves are seeking clearance to add a 16th player.  No word on whether the league will let them use six players on the court at the same time though.
• Houston signed Aaron Brooks.
• The Jazz signed Travis Leslie after dumping Bell.
• Commissioner Stern says that Sacramento has to up their bid to keep the Kings.
• Greg Oden is keeping the Cavs on his wish list.
• Pablo Prigioni isn't sure about his NBA future.
• A promising Russian forward is going to wait another year before entering the draft.
