It's a showcase for top talent Teams featuring Jordan's son, Mason-Griffin meet in Classic Every year, the Houston Kingwood Classic seems to get bigger in size and scope. This year is no different. The non-scholastic basketball tournament, which is one of the premier spring basketball recruiting events in the country, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. today and runs through Sunday. The Kingwood Classic, in its 14th season, has 681 teams participating on 66 courts across the north Houston area in a 48-hour span. Participating teams range in age groups from 9 to 17 in addition to seniors who have not yet signed with a college or university. Many of the top college prospects in the nation will participate in the tournament, which also is expected to draw more than 300 college coaches over the weekend, including Billy Donovan (Florida), Ben Howland (UCLA), Lute Olson (Arizona), Bill Self (Kansas) and Roy Williams (North Carolina). "It's unreal," said grass-roots basketball mogul Hal Pastner, tournament director and founder of Vision Sports. "The event will bring over 20,000 people into the city this weekend." NBA players such as Kevin Durant, Greg Oden and Dwight Howard and college stars from this past season like Kevin Love, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley and Tyler Hansbrough are among those who have played in the event in past years. Legends Sports Complex will serve as the new tournament headquarters and host games for the top 17-and-under division. The 96,000-square foot facility in Spring has four full-sized basketball courts that will be in use all weekend. The platinum division championship is at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday. Legends will be the site of today's featured game between the Rising Stars (Chicago) and local Amateur Athletic Union squad Houston Hoops. The Stars feature Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, while the Hoops are led by 2007-08 Chronicle Preseason Player of the Year Tommy Mason-Griffin of Madison. The teams square off at about 7:40 p.m.

Douglas-Roberts joins Memphis teammate Rose in entering the NBA draft MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis junior guard Chris Douglas-Roberts said Friday he will enter the NBA draft. A 6-foot-7 guard, Douglas-Roberts averaged 18.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in helping the Tigers to the NCAA national championship game. "The past three years have been a great experience both on and off the court at the University of Memphis. I am truly grateful to the coaches and the university for giving me the opportunity to play and develop at Memphis, and I hope to represent them well in my NBA career," Douglas-Roberts said. "The ride that we all took together this year is what dreams are made of, and now I feel it is time to pursue my ultimate dream of playing in the NBA." Teammate Derrick Rose announced he is entering the NBA draft earlier in the week. "As I was for Derrick, I am just as happy and excited for Chris and the opportunity that is ahead of him," Memphis coach John Calipari said. "Like in years past, I have said that during the season, it is about the team, and that after the season, it's about the individual players. Chris did just that this year. Chris -- along with every player on the team -- gave his all for the team this season, and we are grateful for what he did for this program."

Thomas out as Knicks coach but will remain with organization NEW YORK -- At long last, Isiah Thomas is out as head coach of the New York Knicks. But he's not totally gone. In one of the most anticlimactic firings in NBA history, incoming Knicks president Donnie Walsh announced late Friday afternoon he was relieving Thomas of his coaching duties. But Thomas, still owed $18 million after receiving a long-term contract extension 13 months ago, will remain in the organization with no official title. "I think Isiah remaining part of the franchise is good for the organization," Walsh said on a conference call with reporters. "I value Isiah's knowledge of the game and his opinions, so I will use him as a resource. Isiah will be reporting to me. There will be nobody reporting to Isiah." Thomas was 56-108 in his two years as head coach, taking over following the firing of Larry Brown in the summer of 2006. Walsh replaced Thomas as team president April 2 but wanted to wait until the season was over before making a decision on the coach. The Knicks finished their 23-59 season Wednesday, matching the franchise record for losses. "I can't tell you really where we failed," Walsh said. "The bottom line is we haven't won, and the team didn't look like it was motivated to try to win." Walsh, who has stated that his long-term goal for the Knicks was to get significantly under the salary cap by the summer of 2010, said he would begin the search for a new coach immediately. Former Knick Mark Jackson is among the candidates. "I think there are a lot of good candidates out there, and I'm going to start compiling a list trying to find out who's the perfect guy," Walsh said. "I know Mark, I had a lot of respect for him as a player, he was one of the smartest guys that ever played for us in Indiana. He's always been a guy I thought would make a fine head coach, and I'll certainly interview him. He'll be one of the guys on my list, along with others." Thomas' tenure with the Knicks has been marked by a number of embarrassments. This season alone, Thomas was found to have sexually harassed a former team employee, feuded with point guard Stephon Marbury and benched center Eddy Curry -- the players Thomas acquired in the two biggest of a number of moves that never panned out. Still, Walsh said he believed Thomas could contribute to making the Knicks a better franchise. "I feel like some of the bigger events that happened on the way with Isiah overshadowed some of the good things" that he accomplished, Walsh said. "I will be in touch with Isiah a lot," he said.

Cuban doesn't want Sonics to move to OK... [Hidden Content] NEW YORK -- NBA owners approved the Seattle SuperSonics' move to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 season Friday, pending the resolution of litigation between the team and the city of Seattle. The Sonics could begin playing in owner Clay Bennett's hometown as early as next season if they can get out of the remaining two years of their lease at Key Arena. Owners voted 28-2 in favor of the move, with Dallas and Portland voting against. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has previously expressed concerns about the market size, and commissioner David Stern said the Trail Blazers, owned by Paul Allen, didn't say why they voted the way they did. Stern said although owners understand the move from a larger market to a much smaller one, they "focused on the likelihood of success in Oklahoma City." Seattle has filed suit trying to force the Sonics to remain in the city until the lease expires in 2010, while Bennett wants to buy out the remainder. The city already has rejected Bennett's $26 million to settle the lease dispute. A trial is set to begin in federal court June 16. At a news conference Friday, Bennett would not say how much he was willing to offer the city but said he wants a reasonable settlement. "Step one, I am hopeful we can re-establish communication and some sort of platform to have a meaningful, principled conversation," Bennett said. "Certainly, we're nowhere near that today." The city's hope is to keep the Sonics in town for what would appear to be two lame duck seasons, to buy time for a group led by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to find an arena solution and eventually purchase the team from Bennett to keep them in town. Ballmer's group already has proposed paying for half of a $300 million expansion of KeyArena, with the other half coming from the city and from county tax revenues. "We know the longer they are in the Seattle, the better the chance they will stay," Mayor Greg Nickels said Thursday of the Sonics. "I think if we had a group the caliber of one led by Steve Ballmer and we had an arena pot with $300 million available in it, the NBA would have a hard time abandoning a city that's always had pro basketball -- at least for the last 41 years," he said. "I think the Ballmer group stepping forward was a game-changer for us," Nickels said. Bennett is also facing a class-action lawsuit brought by season-ticket holders who say they were duped into buying tickets under the premise the Sonics wouldn't leave. And this week former team owner Howard Schultz announced plans to sue to get the team back, saying Bennett did not make a good-faith effort to secure a new arena deal as he promised when he bought the team in 2006. "It really doesn't feel like it's over here yet," Sonics forward Nick Collison, who owns a home up the hill from KeyArena, said before the vote was taken. "There's still a lot of things to do."
