Sign-And-Trade Still Possible For Lee

There are a number of sign-and-trade possibilities still out there for David Lee.

Alan Hahn of Newsday reported overnight that there "are a couple of sign-and-trades still being considered before a one-year deal is negotiated."

New York general manager Donnie Walsh is seriously considering a pair of reasonable trades involving Lee, but there is a possibility that the forward could stay with the Knicks under a one-year deal if neither trade is worked out.

The Blazers are mentioned as a possibility as they nearly made an offer to Lee before they eventually signed Andre Miller. New York would want Rudy Fernandez to be included in any proposed deal.

Jackson Wants Out Of Golden State

Appearing in New York with Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson said he does not want to return to the Warriors this season.

"I don't think I'll be a Warrior next year. I'm looking to leave," Jackson said.

Jackson said the Warriors have been made aware of his desire to be traded.

"I really can't get too much into it right now, but I'm just looking to go somewhere where I can go and win a championship," Jackson said.

Jackson listed the Cavs, any of the three teams in Texas and the Knicks as his preferred destinations.

Jackson won a championship as a member of the Spurs during the 2002-03 season.

Bucks Still Waiting For Sessions Resolution

The Bucks are still waiting for a resolution regarding point guard Ramon Sessions.

Sessions, a restricted free agent, has drawn interest primarily from the Knicks and Clippers.

Milwaukee has a $1 million qualifying offer on the table for Sessions, but retaining him would give the Bucks four point guards.

"Nothing has changed from our standpoint," general manager John Hammond said. "It's still wait-and-see, to see what direction things go for Ramon.

"We have been in communication with (agent) Chubby Wells, and he's been very professional throughout the process. It's his timetable."

They already have Brandon Jennings, Luke Ridnour and Roko Ukic under contract.
