Knicks eye Pargo and Delfino
The Knicks could look to former NBA players Carlos Delfino or Jannero Pargo, who currently are playing in Russia. They also will consider trades involving current NBA players, with names such as Sacramento's Quincy Douby and Portland's Sergio Rodriguez on the list. -- Newsday
Bobcats dealing Raymond Felton?
Poor Sean Singletary. This was the third time that he has been traded since June. Charlotte insisted on him being in the trade even though the Bobcats have Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin. It has been rumored that Felton could be on the trading block and this will only fuel that more. -- Arizona Republic
Knicks Marbury looking for team in the West
Stephon Marbury is heading Sunday for a two-week vacation out West and admitted to Fox5 he is "talking to some teams" and "definitely looking out West." Marbury told The Post last night that he might visit a couple of teams in the next two weeks. -- NY Post
Celts coach recommended Darius Miles to Clips?
Coach Doc Rivers said he recently recommended free agent forward Darius Miles to Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy. The Clippers recently worked out Miles, who was with the Celtics in the preseason before being waived Oct. 20. Miles is trying to come back after missing two seasons because of knee problems. "That would be phenomenal. I would be very happy for him," said Rivers. "I did talk to Mike. I'm not going to say what I said to [Dunleavy], but I'd be very happy if [Miles] made it." -- Boston Globe

Clips in no rush to sign Darius Miles
Mike Dunleavy said at practice that the team probably would "wait until after January" to make a decision on former Clipper Darius Miles. Even if Miles, the No. 3 pick overall by the Clippers in the 2000 draft, were to sign a free-agent contract, he would not be available immediately -- he'd first have to serve an automatic 10-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He worked out for the Clippers on Tuesday, and Dunleavy has heard good reports about Miles' training camp and preseason performance with the Boston Celtics.-- LA Times
Raps GM looking to add big man
There are a handful of players who might warrant consideration as Raps GM Bryan Colangelo looks around for some frontcourt help. There are ex-NBAers like Juwan Howard, Jake Voskuhl and even Michael Ruffin who might fit what Colangelo needs, while a player like Courtney Sims, a 6-foot-11 banger who has been in free agent camps with Toronto before, could be picked up out of the D League. Jermareo Davidson, a D Leaguer with NBA experience would also be on a list, as would Damone Brown, another minor leaguer with NBA experience. -- Toronto Star
