Steelers' Wallace a no-show

Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free agent Mike Wallace's training-camp holdout became official when he did not arrive to move into his dorm room in Latrobe, Pa., and take part in coach Mike Tomlin's conditioning test.

Wallace, a starter in the Pro Bowl last season, was offered a one-year, $2.7 million tender by Pittsburgh. He has not signed it and did not take part in any of the Steelers' offseason workouts or minicamp.

"Obviously, we have a desire for him to be here," Tomlin said of the wide receiver. "We want him to be part of this thing, both short term and long term. We've been in negotiations with him. He's not here today. That's unfortunate for him."

Wallace is the biggest name to hold out on the Steelers since receiver Hines Ward, who was unhappy with his contract in 2005. Ward ended up missing two weeks before reporting on the day of the team's first exhibition game. He was signed to a four-year extension before the opener.

Jones-Drew skipped the Jaguars' entire offseason program because of displeasure with his contract situation. The NFL rushing leader last season has two years left on a five-year contract worth $31 million. He is scheduled to make $4.45 million this season and $4.95 million in 2013.

NBA

Lopez in 3-team trade

The Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves agreed to a multiplayer trade sending 7-foot center Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans, while moving forward Wesley Johnson and a first-round draft pick from Minnesota to Phoenix.

The deal also sends guard Jerome Dyson and retiring center Brad Miller's $5.1 million contract from New Orleans to Minnesota, allowing the Timberwolves to clear space under the NBA's salary cap. Minnesota also will receive two second-round draft picks from New Orleans, while the Hornets will receive cash.

Minnesota then came to terms with veteran free-agent forward Andrei Kirilenko on a two-year, $20 million deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Also, the Wolves announced the signing of Russian guard Alexey Shved.

Pargo to Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired point guard Jeremy Pargo, a second-round draft pick in 2014 and cash considerations from the Memphis Grizzlies for forward D.J. Kennedy. Pargo, 26, a product of Gonzaga, played in 44 games with Memphis last season, averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 assists.

Another ex-Zag, frontliner Ronny Turiaf, will reportedly sign a one-year minimum contract with the L.A. Clippers.
