THEY SAID IT: "The whole thing is worthwhile. You see 120 players under one roof. You get to see the assignment players because they never play on their own NBA teams. And there are guys who may be good for your summer league teams down the road." ... Boston Celtics General Manager Chris Wallace told the Boston Globe in reference to the 2007 D-League Showcase.

ALL-STAR: Balloting for the D-League All-Star Game continues through Feb. 1 at D-LEAGUE.com. The inaugural D-League All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 17 on Center Court at NBA All-Star Jam Session at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Tip off is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT and the game will air live on NBA TV.

COACHING THE STARS: The coaches with the best record in each division on Feb. 1 will handle coaching duties for the D-League All-Star Game.

SOUTHWEST TRADE WINDS: Tulsa and Austin swapped D-League veterans on Monday, with the Toros sending forward Scott Merritt to Tulsa for guard Cheyne Gadson. This is the second trade in the D-League this season, but just the seventh in league history.
