Mike Woodson to lean on stars

NEW YORK -- Mike D'Antoni and his system are out, Mike Woodson is in and the New York Knicks' first practice with their interim head coach had the feel of training camp all over again.

The biggest question now is how the offense is going to change. You can expect to see more of Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- In a matter of three days, the Golden State Warriors have restructured their roster in a way they believe will truly transform them into a playoff team next season.

The Warriors traded swingman Stephen Jackson to the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday for small forward Richard Jefferson and a conditional first-round draft pick this year.

Lakers trade PG Derek Fisher

Updated: March 15, 2012, 10:25 PM ET

The Lakers got the young point guard in Ramon Sessions they've been searching for since the eve of training camp when the Chris Paul trade fell through. But before L.A. could say hello to Sessions, it had to say goodbye to Derek Fisher.

The Lakers first traded Jason Kapono, Luke Walton and their 2012 first-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Sessions and forward Christian Eyenga on Thursday. In a subsequent deal, they sent Fisher and the first-round pick acquired from Dallas in the Lamar Odom trade to Houston for center Jordan Hill.
