Sources: Michael Jordan voice of reason during NBA owners meeting
Jordan, owner of the Charlotte Hornets and the only Black majority owner in the league -- reached out to National Basketball Players Association president Chris Paul, league sources told ESPN, in advance of the owners meeting to get a better understanding of what the players hoped to achieve going forward and to offer assistance as they make their case to the NBA board of governors.

Why we shouldn't need LeBron to tell us racism is a problem
THE FIRST TIME someone called me the N-word on a basketball court was in seventh grade. I remember dribbling the ball on the wing in front of the visitors bench. This girl, whose name I never knew, said I was a "stupid n-----." I looked over my shoulder, still dribbling, at her coach, who either didn't hear it or didn't care. The girl continued to taunt me.
What are you going to do about it?

NBA eyeing Nov. 18 as new draft date, memo says

The NBA is targeting Nov. 18 as a new date for the 2020 draft, pending discussions with league owners and general managers in separate meetings on Thursday and Friday, according to a memo obtained by ESPN. The NBA and National Basketball Players Association negotiated what the memo called a "potential revised 2020 NBA Draft date" as a tentative replacement for Oct. 16. The delay would allow the league and union to negotiate amendments to the collective bargaining agreement and agree on 2020-21 salary cap and luxury tax thresholds. Free agency isn't mentioned in the memo, nor has a new date been negotiated with the NBPA, sources said. The start of free agency is expected to follow relatively soon after the draft.

Mike D'Antoni tells Houston Rockets he won't return as coach
D'Antoni was 217-102 in his four seasons as Rockets coach, advancing once to the Western Conference finals and three times to the conference semifinals. D'Antoni, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year, led the Rockets to the highest winning percentage in the Western Conference over the past four years (.682), trailing only the Toronto Raptors (.695) in the entire league.


What the next Houston Rockets coach can and can't change
Whoever replaces D'Antoni will have to work with the Rockets' unique roster and the particular ways that James Harden's and Russell Westbrook's skills shape Houston's approach on both ends.
