NBA: Knicks Hire Former Hawks Head Coach Mike Woodson As Assistant (Aug 28-Sept 3rd)
The New York Knicks have hired former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson as an assistant to Mike D’Antoni. Woodson led the Hawks to three playoff berths in his six seasons in Atlanta, but was let go after they were swept in embarrassing fashion by Orlando in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals.
He was a candidate for the Detroit job that instead went to Lawrence Frank, so now will try to help D’Antoni address the Knicks’ struggles on the defensive end. D’Antoni says in a statement Monday he was “extremely encouraged after meeting with Mike,” who began his pro playing career with the Knicks as the No. 12 pick in the 1980 NBA draft. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

NBA: Wilson Chandler Signs To Play in China (Aug 28-Sept 3rd)
Wilson Chandler said he has signed a contract with the Zhejiang Guangsha of the Chinese Basketball Association, a move that would essentially preclude him from participating in the 2011-12 NBA season if the lockout ends and the games begin. The Chinese Basketball Association will not allow players with existing contracts to sign with its teams, so playing in China is only an option for free agents such as Chandler, a restricted free agent who finished the 2010-11 season with the Denver Nuggets. In addition, the CBA will not allow escape clauses that would allow players to leave the Chinese league in the event the NBA resumes operations. So Chandler would not be a part of the NBA if the season begins on time or even with an abbreviated schedule starting in January or February. Chinese teams are allowed a maximum of two foreign players. The Lions, who are located in the city of Hangzhou, have also signed Earl Clark, who played with the Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic the past two seasons.
