When Danny Ferry retired as a player from the San Antonio Spurs in 2003 after scoring 6,439 points and pulling down 2,440 rebounds in his career, he immediately joined the middle management of the Spurs front office where he toiled for two years till he took over as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers . He worked there till he was unceremoniously dumped earlier this summer as the team tried to convince LeBron James (notes) to return. Now Ferry may return to the Spurs , according to ESPN.

Not much else going on in the NBA world today.

The Denver Nuggets wanted its three-time All Star, Carmelo Anthony (notes) , to sign on for another three years this summer, but HoopsWorld has it that the 26-year-old small forward won’t be signing on any dotted lines anytime soon.

That’s all the news for today.

Carmelo Anthony (notes) has one more year left on his contract with the Denver Nuggets before he can opt out of it and become an unrestricted free agent. The Nuggets are feeling like he may do just that and the team "is prepared to trade Melo rather than let him walk" next summer, according to a source for the Denver Post.

Hedo Turkoglu (notes) has clarified his trade demand, indicating he would be amenable to staying with the Toronto Raptors if the system changes as he expects it to, according to a report on TSN . TSN reports that Turkolgu backed off his desire to be traded, doing so in an interview with a Turkish sports site, sporx.com .

As much as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban would like the Cleveland Cavaliers to do a sign-and-trade with him for LeBron James (notes) , it doesn’t seem very likely. So Cuban is thinking of attempting to work that same sort of deal with the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson (notes) , Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

What are your opinions.

The San Antonio Spurs have the rights to the current MVP of the Spanish league and the 2010 Spanish League Finals, 25-year-old center Tiago Splitter (notes) , who has recently made it clear that he would like to move on up to the NBA now. And he has no contractual issues in Europe to deal with. However, the Spanish lira is worth more than the dollar now and the Spurs will need to offer Splitter a sweet deal in order to get the 6-11 Brazilian to come to America, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

Avery Johnson, Tom Thibodeau, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, Dwane Casey, Phil Jackson, and on and on.

Sports Adrian Wojnarowski.
