Jerry Sloan Turns Down Bucks
Coaching legend Jerry Sloan has turned down the Milwaukee Bucks, saying through his agent that he’s not looking for a rebuilding project, but will continue to keep his ears open for the right job.

Kings Staying in Sactown Until They’re Not
In the story that just won’t die, the league’s owners voted yesterday to reject the Kings’ proposed move to Seattle…which reaffirmed last month’s unanimous vote to do just that. Which means the Kings will stay put. Until someone says they won’t. And then someone will make a bigger offer. And then we’ll have to vote again. But they’ll stay. Or maybe not. Whatever jerks...
Bucks Eye Jerry Sloan
Jerry Sloan (who by all accounts was a super badass on the court back in the day) interviewed with the Milwaukee Bucks and is being considered for their coaching vacancy. He’s also been recently linked to the Bobcats, though has taken himself out of the running.

Wolves Wednesday: A Kirilenko homecoming
MINNEAPOLIS It's where he learned to be a pro. It's where Jerry Sloan "created" him.
