- Jack, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, stated his desire to remain with Golden State, the San Jose Mercury News reports. He finished the regular season averaging 12.9 points in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point range.
  Recommendation: Jack's had better statistical seasons than he had in 2012-13, but there's no doubting his fit with this particular club. He was the second-leading scorer in the playoffs and was often the primary ball handler, moving Stephen Curry to shooting guard. Both sides would like to see Jack in a Golden State uniform next season, however, he's expected to generate some buzz in the market. And with the development of Harrison Barnes, the Warriors might not be interested in Jack getting the minutes he received this past season.

- Hinrich (calf) isn't expected to require surgery on his ailing calf, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
  Recommendation: Hinrich's injury is believed to be nothing more than a painful bruise rather than any sort of structural issue, so surgery appears off the table for now. With a full offseason to recover now that the Bulls have been eliminated from the playoffs, Hinrich should be fine for the start of training camp.

- Shumpert (knee) said he feels "fine" and he didn't feel any pain in Game 4, ESPN New York reports.
  Recommendation: The Knicks are facing elimination in Game 5, so look for Shumpert to play without restrictions as the Knicks struggle to stay alive in the series.

- Prigioni may return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 5 against Indiana, the Wall Street Journal reports.
  Recommendation: Prigioni was held to the bench Tuesday, earning just three minutes on the court. However, if he does start Thursday, he should post something similar to his output from the first three games of the series - 3.3 points (on 50 percent shooting), 4.7 assists, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 three-pointers, and 0.7 steals in 22.3 minutes.

- Lee played 25 minutes per game during the regular season but saw a total of just 19 minutes in the Celtics' final five playoff games.
  Recommendation: Lee ceded minutes to Jordan Crawford and Terrence Williams, neither of whom played well. Lee, who has a tendency to completely disappear on offense, at least knows his limitations as a scorer and limits his shot selection to the most efficient opportunities. Players like Crawford and Jason Terry are far more skilled offensively, although Terry was arguably more disappointing than Lee - at least before the playoffs started. The Celtics have a number of options this offseason, and there is a chance that Lee could end up on his fifth team in six years if the right trade emerges.

- Crawford was able to turn his season around after joining the Celtics, but he struggled mightily during the playoffs, averaging just 4.5 points per game on 30 percent shooting from the field.
  Recommendation: Crawford wasn't exactly a difference-maker, but he provided the Celtics with some occasionally valuable scoring off the bench (9.1 PPG), and eventually surpassed Courtney Lee as the team's No. 4 guard. He is under contract for next season, though that hardly assures him of a spot on a Boston roster that may or may not be subject to significant turnover during the offseason.

- Hamilton played 22 minutes in Game 4 Monday against the Heat and scored 11 points to go along with four assists, two three-pointers and one steal.
  Recommendation: Hamilton logged significant minutes for the first time in the playoffs Monday as he was pressed into duty when Marco Belinelli found himself in foul trouble early. Hamilton may see increased minutes again in Game 5 Wednesday as the Bulls will try anything possible to extend the series.
