Iman Shumpert says he's going to work on improving his point guard skills this summer.
Shumpert played some point guard during his rookie year but was used off the ball more this season. However, with Jason Kidd possibly retiring and Pablo Prigioni an unrestricted free agent, Shumpert could be asked to spell Raymond Felton next season. Shumpert also said he wants to work on his midrange game, which could go a long way to increasing his fantasy value next season.

Nate McMillan said he won't return as an assistant on Mike Krzyzewski's Team USA staff.
Coach K officially returned as head coach Thursday but will apparently have a brand new staff after both McMillan and Mike D'Antoni declined to return as assistants. D'Antoni's issue is related to family concerns while McMillan said he wants to give another coach the opportunity. McMillan is also up for a number of head coaching jobs this summer and likely will want to devote as much time to that as possible in the next couple years. Coach K should have no problem filling out his staff.

Mario Chalmers (shoulder) said he expects to play in Friday's Game 2.
Chalmers suffered the injury during the third quarter of Game 1 and did not return. Despite planning to play, Chalmers said he'll want to see how the shoulder feels when he wakes up tomorrow before making any final decisions. Norris Cole replaced Chalmers on Wednesday and would continue to man the point along with LeBron James if Chalmers is sidelined Friday.

The Hawks and Warriors are among the teams on Dwight Howard's list this summer, a source familiar with his thinking told Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News.
The other teams on the list include the Lakers, Mavs and Rockets, all of whom we've seen Howard linked to in previous reports. The Hawks have also been mentioned as a potential destination for Howard, but the inclusion of the Warriors is a new one. Unfortunately for both Howard and the Warriors, Golden State's salary cap issues make adding Howard highly unlikely. Expect Howard's list to get narrowed down to two or three feasible destinations as we get closer to free agency.

Roy Hibbert says he might need to start speaking up more after he sat out the final two possessions of Indiana's overtime loss to Miami on Wednesday night.
"They pay me (max-contract money) for a reason. I didn't say anything, and I wish I did. From now on, I need to speak up," Hibbert said after the game. LeBron James got two easy layups on back-to-back possessions as Pacers coach Frank Vogel kept Hibbert on the bench at the end of overtime. It's a decision Vogel's been ridiculed for ever since the final buzzer sounded and probably rightly so. Hibbert does have holes in his game defensively -- holes coach Erik Spoelstra and Heat big man Chris Bosh can definitely exploit -- but we expect this is the last time something like this will happen in the series.
