News from October 10.

Ron Artest (Chi) will be out 10 weeks after undergoing surgery on his
right ring finger.

New Jersey signed Steve Goodrich.

New York released Larry Johnson due to his bad back and Johnson announced
his retirement from the NBA.

Philadelphia released Quincy Wadley and Joe Brown.

Utah released David Benoit, Kaniel Dickens, and Jamel Thomas.

Correction: Memphis did not re-sign Doug West and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, the
boxscore on USA Today and ESPN just had Jason Williams and someone else 
listed incorrectly as those two.  [thanks to Tony Farr and titans and the
others after them who pointed this out]

And Detroit did not re-sign Billy Owens - that was supposed to be Rodney
White in the boxscore.  [thanks to Andrew W. Mayoras]
