NEW YORK -- Dallas Mavericks point guard Raymond Felton pleaded guilty Wednesday in a New York gun case, taking a plea deal that involved admitting a felony but
spares him jail.

a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. He admitted he knowingly had a
large-capacity ammunition magazine and a semi-automatic pistol without a
license. "Are those charges true?" Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Larry
Stephen asked. "Yes, sir," Felton said, later adding in a soft voice: "I
apologize. I realize what I did was wrong." He was immediately sentenced to 500
hours of community service and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. Manhattan Assistant
District Attorney Jonathan Rebold said Felton will be allowed to do the service
outside New York. If he complies, the case will be closed without jail time or
probation. "At this point, Raymond is looking forward to starting the next
chapter of his life and focusing on success in Dallas," his lawyer, James
Walden, said after court. The criminal case arose last winter, as Felton
grappled with the breakup of his marriage and navigated a struggling season with
the New York Knicks. He was traded to Dallas last month, two days after his plea
plan was announced. The team declined to comment Wednesday. About a week after
Feltons law student wife filed for divorce, her attorney brought a loaded
semi-automatic handgun to a police precinct and said it was Feltons and she
wanted it out of the house, authorities said. Walden has said Felton never
threatened anyone with the gun. After police contacted Felton, he turned himself
in shortly after a Mavericks-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Felton was
charged under a state law that bans many large-capacity ammunition magazines.
Prosecutors said Feltons could hold about 20 rounds. The NBA, which has said it
is monitoring the case, had no immediate comment Wednesday. The league usually
waits until criminal cases against players are resolved before deciding whether
to impose any fine or suspension. Felton, 30, was a star at the University of
North Carolina and was the fifth pick of the 2005 NBA draft. Besides Dallas and
New York, hes played for the Charlotte Bobcats, Denver Nuggets and Portland
Trail Blazers. Last season, Felton missed 17 games while battling injuries and
averaged a career-low 9.7 points as the Knicks went 37-45 and missed the
playoffs.

opening quarter over a three-game span to begin the month of February. Their
most recent loss, 109-101 in Sacramento on Wednesday, was eerily similar to
Saturdays defeat at the hands of the Trail Blazers.

dropped his fourth straight decision in Los Angeles 6-1 loss to the Pittsburgh
Pirates on Wednesday night, leaving his status very much in doubt as the Dodgers
prepare for the stretch drive.Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chip Kelly
is very sure of himself. So when the Eagles coach turns up the smug-meter and
starts running a little pompous and egotistical, its just par for the course.
That said, something caught my ear at Kellys season-ending press conference, a
veiled shot at his general manager Howie Roseman. Kelly said Roseman was good at
handling the salary cap, on the surface a compliment to anyone who doesnt
understand the inner-workings of the Eagles. To those who do, however, it was a
clear shot at Roseman, a glorified money man who has risen through the ranks of
the organization and now fashions himself as a football guy despite no prior
experience as a player, coach or scout. For me to stand there and say, I think
paragraph five of his contract should mean this, instead of this. Thats not my
forte, not my strength, Kelly said when queried about his relationship with
Roseman. Im not going to delve into that and say, I think his signing bonus
should be this, but lets retroactive that and only make it for injury in the
third and fourth year. Thats not my strength. I understand it, but thats really
what (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that. I think since Ive been here one
of the attractive things about this job, there are not cap issues. You dont look
at it and go, Oh, my God. Were going to have to cut 12 players because were
going to be $40 million over the cap. (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that.
Thats his training. To anyone who knows Roseman and what makes him tick, thats
as passive aggressive as it gets. Kelly further aggravated his insecure GM when
he called now-ousted vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble an
outstanding football man. Two different sources who know Roseman well said he
was seething after Kellys statements, which marginalized him in the personnel
aspect of the business. Kelly is a lot like Jim Harbaugh, though. Its football
24-7 for Chip and the ex-49ers coach and both underestimated the political savvy
of their respective general managers. Harbaugh is now at the University of
Michigan because of his miscalculations with Trent Baalke and thhis dust-up in
Philadelphia could signal the beginning of the end for Kelly with the Eagles.

in life, a take-no- prisoners operative in the mold of Rahm Emanuel. At 39, hes
the youngest GM in football but dont let his boyish looks fool you, the list of
executives who have lost power struggles with him is stunning: Joe Banner, Tom
Heckert, Jason Licht, Ryan Grigson, Louis Riddick, and now Gamble. When Kelly
made his move, Roseman had his people quickly leak the fact that the New York
Jets were looking to talk to him about their vacant general manager position,
conveniently leaving out the fact that the Jets did indeed want to talk to
Roseman but it was about Eagles pro personnel director Rick Meuller. That little
nugget certainly got to Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie, who already considered
Roseman his indispensable right-hand man on the football side of things,
something that could have been validated by the feigned Jets interest. Gamble,
meanwhile, was Kellys most trusted advisor on the football side, a man with
nearly 30 years of NFL experience who paid the price for the coachs insolence by
being fired on New Years Eve. Described as a mutual parting of the ways, Gamble
was actually escorted from the NovaCare complex by security, a high-profile pawn
in a game of inside baseball between Roseman and Kelly. A game which Roseman
won. It was Gamble who had Kellys ear when it came to talent and the coach was
given final say on the 53-man roster when he was hired in 2013, meaning Gamble
had more say over who was playing for the Eagles this season than Roseman. And
that wasnt about to change because Kelly has little respect for Roseman when it
comes to player evaluation. Others have speculated that Roseman was also
concerned that Kelly was so popular in the city that he could eventually flex
his muscles to oust him and elevate Gamble to GM. A December swoon and a poorly
perceived 2014 draft hurt Kellys reputation a bit and Roseman pounced, using
that, along with the coachs own hubris, to fortify a power base that will only
grow from here.
