Herzlich Willkommen » Hawks with 16.8 ppg

NEW YORK – These are busy times for Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis. Theres the upcoming draft in Philadelphia, a coaching staff to round out and a roster requiring some alterations and likely upheaval following another late season collapse. First up is the draft. The Leafs hold the eighth overall pick in a class thats more or less unpredictable – especially at the top. Nonis, attending the GM meetings in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, reiterated what was first reported in the Toronto Sun, that his club would be open to moving up from their current perch or staying put if the price was too high. "Youve got a pretty good chance of getting a good player at eight or four," he said. "For us to move up the price tag would have to reflect that fact." Panthers general manager Dale Tallon is reported to have been actively shopping the first overall pick in a 2014 collection that lacks any clear-cut top prospect; defenceman Aaron Ekblad, as well as centres Sam Bennett, Leon Drasaitl, and Sam Reinhart are among the names in contention. Nonis went with a hulking, defensively-aware centre in Frederik Gauthier a year ago – his first draft as the Leafs boss – but is almost certain to add skill with the eighth pick this time around. "I wouldnt say its a priority that were going to go for the most skilled player," Nonis explained, "but I think the players that are going to be available in the top eight by and large are skill players so because of that fact theres a good chance thats what you end up with." Lacking in high-end depth organizationally down the middle, the Leafs are likely to miss out on the top-end centres (Bennett, Draisaitl, Reinhart) if they stick with their current pick, but could lean in the direction of Sault St. Marie pivot Jared McCann or a promising bunch of big, high-scoring wingers – Michael Dal Colle, Nick Ritchie, Brendan Perlini, Jake Virtanen – not to mention speedy, skilled types in Nikolaj Ehlers and Willie Nylander. "I think all those guys have ability," Nonis said. "Its not one [of those drafts] where youre going to get a hard-nosed plugger or shutdown defenceman; I think even the guys who are more rugged theres some pretty good players there." The search for a coaching staff to surround incumbent Randy Carlyle continues additionally. Opting to keep Carlyle as the lead bench boss in early May, the Leafs fired assistants Dave Farrish, Scott Gordon and Greg Cronin. Nonis declined to say how many candidates had been interviewed for jobs on the staff nor how many would interviewed in the future. "Id like to have it done sooner rather than later, but theres still quite a few people to go through and were not going to rush it," he said. As far an impending pack of free agents that includes Mason Raymond, Nik Kulemin, Dave Bolland and Jay McClement, Nonis hadnt ruled any out from a return to the club next season; the Leafs have had preliminary discussions with the Bolland camp. Nonis wouldnt rule out a return for former Leaf Leo Komarov, who plans to return to the NHL, though only at the right price-point. Cameron Maybin Jersey .

The Mavericks have won three in a row and 10 of their last 13 games, and unveiled new point guard Rajon Rondo in Saturdays 99-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Acquired in a deal with Boston last week, Rondo handed out nine assists to go along with six points and seven rebounds. Rondo made just 3-of-11 shots and had two steals. He needs eight steals for 1,000 in his career. He didnt shoot particularly well, but he did a lot of great things, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said of Rondo. He did a lot of things that most guys in that position just dont do -- rebounding, making plays, things like that. Monta Ellis scored a game-high 38 points on 15-of-23 shooting and Chandler Parsons added with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris scored 13 points apiece for the Mavericks, who posted 25 points off 19 San Antonio turnovers and erased an 89-86 deficit with a 13-4 run. Ellis scored 11 of Dallas last 13 points. Nowitzki needs 44 points to pass Elvin Hayes (27,313) for eighth place on the NBAs all-time scoring list. The Mavs are 10-4 at home and first in the league with 109.7 points per game. Theyre second with a 47.9 field goal percentage. Atlanta is riding a three-game winning streak and will close out a three-game road trip Monday night in Big D.dddddddddddd The Hawks are coming off a 104-97 victory over the Houston Rockets Saturday, as Kyle Korver buried 4-of-8 3-pointers en route to 22 points and both Paul Millsap and Al Horford added 14 points. They are a great team, they have great players and they have great spacing. We probably didnt adjust well enough (in the third), said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer. I thought the first half was really how we want to play on both ends. Budenholzers squad, which had a 52-40 lead at halftime and later pulled away with a 10-2 run in the final stanza, made 51.4 percent from the field and handed out 26 assists. The Hawks have recorded at least 20 assists in 24 games this season and are second in the NBA with 25.8 assists per game. Dennis Schroder tallied eight points with six rebounds and six assists in place of Jeff Teague, who missed the game with a strained left hamstring. Teague is questionable Monday and leads the Hawks with 16.8 ppg. Atlanta is averaging 103.0 ppg this season and has won 14 of its last 16 games. It will host the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks next. The Hawks and Mavericks split two meetings a season ago and will meet against Feb. 25 at Philips Arena. The Hawks lead the all-time series 34-32 and are 15-18 in Big D. Dallas has won 12 of the past 15 encounters at home. ' ' '
