Marcus Banks has agreed to terms with the Phoenix Suns on a five-year contract worth $21 million, The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday.

the New York Knicks have decided not to match the Spurs’ three-year, $7 million offer to restricted free agent Jackie Butler, a Knicks’ spokesman said Wednesday. The Spurs have yet to officially hear from the Knicks or the NBA.

The Rockets reached agreement with guard Vassillis Spanoulis on a three-year contract worth more than $5 million, the largest initial contract they had ever offered a second-round pick. Spanoulis told Athens newspaper Eleftheros Typos that he would officially accept the contract offer sometime today or tomorrow.

Still seeking shooting help, the Nuggets are pursuing free agent forward Keith Van Horn, who has averaged 16 points in nine NBA seasons. Van Horn made $15.7 million in the final year of a max contract last season but will be lucky to get 20 percent of that this season. The Nuggets like his shooting ability, but discussions are ongoing and nothing appears imminent.

Smith might have some competition on the wing as the Nuggets are expected to sign swingman Yakhouba Diawara to a two-year, $1.1 million contract. Diawara, who averaged 11.8 points for Denver's summer league team, said he expects to sign with the Nuggets sometime next week. "I'm just waiting for my agent to contact me," he said after working out at the Pepsi Center. Diawara, a native of France, attended Pepperdine University and has spent the past two seasons playing in Europe. The Nuggets will have to pay a standard $500,000 to buy out his contract from Climamio Bologna of the Italian League.

The Mavs remain interested in signing Chucky Atkins as a possible third point guard. Using free agent Keith Van Horn in a sign-and-trade remains a possibility.

Meanwhile, Spanish forward Jorge Garbajosa is on the verge of signing a three-year deal worth about $12 million with the Raptors. The announcement could come as soon as today. Garbajosa is with the Spanish national team preparing for the world championship next month




In an unrelated move, former second-round pick Uros Slokar told reporters in his native Slovenia that he's agreed to a contract with Toronto, as has been long speculated. The deal is not official so Raptor officials won't comment but team sources said two weeks ago that Slokar was going to sign a deal of up to three years and serve as a replacement for the injured Pape Sow.

The rumor is the Timberwolves are talking trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for 6-foot-3 point guard Damon Jones and 6-7 small forward Luke Jackson in exchange for 6-1 point guard Troy Hudson, but the Wolves say that's news to them.



The Suns plan to add 6-10 center Sean Marks next week, giving them 12 players under contract for next season. They have a $3.6 million trade exception that expires Aug. 21, but any major roster maneuvering seems unlikely. No scrambling, Griffin said, only tinkering.

i'm pretty much in support of anything that gets dj out of town. and luke jackson is worthless.

but i don't know that i want this deal. hudson's cool, yeah. he'd help out. but brown is running point in the summer league and doing very well. i expected him to play two, but they're priming him to run the one. with the roster how it is, he'll be starting by the end of the year. bringing in another point negates that, and also pretty much makes gibson irrelevant. same happens if the deal with chicago goes down. and that deal is a much better one, and they won't do both. i just don't see this happening.

i'm fine with the point position being snow, brown and gibson for now. they need a consistent power forward who can score more than anything.

but whatever, get jones out of here.
