|  Sacramento Kings are borrowing a ploy from the hotel and airline industries, and many other professional sports teams in the USA and introducing dynamic ticketing to their fans this year. According to the Sacramento Bee:
"They will let market demand determine seat prices for single-game ticket
sales this year. Prices will vary dramatically depending on what night
it is and who's on the court with the Kings."
"Not all games are equal," Kings team president Matina Kolokotronis told the Bee. "We adjusted ticket pricing to respond to that. It's a new
creative mind-set."

|  New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni hopes to use their European tour to get his side used to a faster style of play. The Knicks play Olimpia Milano in Milan on Sunday then travel to Paris to meet the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday in another preseason game.
The Knicks have endured nine consecutive losing seasons, although the last two have shown signs of improvement and the coach is back on familiar territory in Milan. As a player, D'Antoni was the star point guard in a Milano team that won five Italian championships and two Euroleague titles in two years.
