Stern hit the Cavaliers with a $100,000 fine for the open letter Gilbert sent to Cavaliers fans in which he called James' decision a "cowardly betrayal" and for Gilbert's subsequent comments.
"I think the remarks by Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, though understandable, were ill-advised and imprudent," Stern said. "Equally imprudent I believe are the remarks by my good friend Jesse Jackson which purport to make this into a racial matter. To me, however well meaning Jesse may be, he really is mistaken. I would have told him so had he called me before he issued his statement, rather than this morning."
The Utah Jazz have quickly moved into the lead to acquire Al Jefferson and were actively working Monday night to complete a deal with Minnesota, according to NBA front-office sources. ESPN.com
Sources told ESPN.com that the Jazz and Timberwolves are on the verge of completing a trade that would slot Jefferson's contract into the $14 million trade exception that Utah created earlier this week in its sign-and-trade deal with Chicago for Carlos Boozer. ESPN.com
Should the Trail Blazers be successful in their bid to win the $34 million mid-level sweepstakes for free agent guard Wesley Matthews this week, it will mark a small victory for an organization that desperately needs one.
The Celtics did not disclose a timetable for his return, but Perkins suggested he would be sidelined for five to six months after the procedure, which would peg his return at sometime in January or February of 2011. ESPN.com

Portland guard Rudy Fernandez was thought to be another target, though talks between the Blazers and C’s appear to have fallen apart.
“I don’t think it’s going to happen,” a league official said. “That deal came and went.”
