Look out for the Pistons to make the biggest impact in free agency. They have the most amount of money in the league and are showing interests in other players.

the latest bigger name guy i've heard something about is the Hawks have offerd PG Mike Bibby a three year deal to remain with the team. He's still got something left and they need to keep Marvin Williams also to keep that good young team together cause they can be a force in the east with all of them together again.

Jason Kidd has given the Mavs a Verbal commitment to stay with the team once teams can begin to officialy sign players on Wedensday

Well also it gives them depth

Well the three players u named are all free agents this year. Yeah and i hate it cause that means i have to see turk 4 times a year

McDyess just went to the Spurs.

More depth for your number one team the Spurs great pick up they needed that after they're whole front court was traded for Richard Jefferson.

Its' official the Mavericks got Shawn Marion and this could help them out spread the floor for more for Dirk and Josh Howard.

I like it. Granted we give up our only real replacement for Ben Gordon but we get rid of Mr. Inconsistant in Tyrus Thomas plus we clear up a ton of cap space to make room for a D-Wade homecoming in 2010.

Portland gets a great deal getting a great back up player in Kirk Hinrich, the Trail Blazers are loaded this year and are gonna be really dangerous.

Just a little FYI.. After the season the Bulls promoted John Paxson to Executive VP of Basketball Operations and promoted the Director of Player Personnel Gar Forman to GM.. So Forman is the one who puts all the trades and deals together and Paxson is the guy who has the final word on if it goes through or not..

Pistons got a new coach in John Kuester, Cleveland's assistant coach.

Rumors are this could be a move to lure LeBron into the Motor City in 2010

It appears with the Blazers going after Milsap that the three team deal is now off.

It probably wasn't going to happen anyway, as the Blazers were unwilling to give up any young players in the deal, and Chicago wanted Jarryd Bayless in the deal.

It's probably a good thing for Chicago as I said before, they shouldn't give up on a guy like Tyrus Thomas simply to get an injury prone player and Boozer, and allow themselves for the possibility that Dwayne Wade may return to Chicago.  The last time Chicago built themselves for something like that was when they tried to get Kobe, and you saw how much it burned them.

The Bulls have a good team, and there's always stars who want out of where they are currently playing, so they could still potentially find a way to get Dwayne Wade or a similar player even if they don't sign him in free agency.

As for the LeBron going to Detroit I feel it's a bit of a long shot, but Detroit clearly doesen't feel so.

I said in another post that it doesen't matter what type of a team you have because no matter where LeBron goes they will be NBA title contenders within three years.

I just don't see what Detroit has to offer that New York or Cleveland doesen't already have.

I think the move was done more because if Detroit did hire Avery Johnson, Joe Dumars would wind up looking like an idiot especially if Avery did well considering he refused to hire him last year.

Dumars job could be in trouble though if Detroit continues to fall, as he's made alot of questionable moves lately (trading for Allen Iverson, firing Flip Saunders, drafting Darko over Carmelo) and you have to start wondering how much of the hype surrounding Joe Dumars begin a great GM is really true at this point.

If Detroit doesen't make the playoffs this year, and they fail to significantly improve the team next offseason, I think Dumars will be gone.

Paul Milsap is a really good player and could help out the Blazers in many ways. Paul Milsap is a great player and is a good rebounder.

Yah also Joel Pryziibilla would also want to start because he started a lot last year because of Greg Oden's slow inconsistancy and no progression.

If Millsaps does go to the Blazers, I could see Aldridge Starting at the 3. Granted he may not be able to defend anyone at that position, but That would make them very long with Oden, Milsaps and Aldridge in the front court.

Or just have him come off the bench and play big minutes .

Yeah thats very true JC.

The Allen Iverson saga keeps growing as first it was he's going to the Griz. then he might be going to the Heat and those talks were very serious. Now the talks are serious that he is going to the Clippers! Dude pick a dam team cause your washed up and your going to hurt which ever team you go to anyway

Not much has really happend this week other than the Magic matching Gortats sheet and the Vegas Summer league where we get outr first taste of Brandon Jennings, Hasheem Thabeet, Blake Griffen, and many more of the draft picks. But on the free agency side still really waiting to see if the Jazz can move Boozer to resign Millsap.

Wow. Well i mean havn't heard anything about him signing with anyone or even anyone offering him any contracts. I'd love to have him on my team. He may be small but he can light it up

Cj Watson sucks so that's not anything, don't like the Marquis Daniels signing for Boston, but they are trying to add even more depth. Lamar Odom that is a great siging for the Heat because now the Lakers lose an important guy on their team. Paul Milsap got matched because he is the better of his youth and that he is gonna to put much more effort in a game than Carlos Boozer the loser.

Boozer has a better shot than Milsap but Milsap has way more durabiltiy than Boozer and he has way more endurance. That's a major reason that the Jazz want to keep him. 3rd option means he won't play at all.

Well if you ask me it'd be Matt Harping or they could move Kirlenko down to that positon. The reason I say Matt is because he is every coaches dream player, he does all the dirty work he is unselfish he rebounds, sets screens, and bangs down low, he is a Shane Battier or a Chuck Hayes kinda of player

Steve Nash is the best point guard in the league if you ask me, he can pass the best in the league he has a killer three point shot and he play's great defense. Great deal for the SUns this guy makes everyone better on your team and he is one of the finest players you can have in the league.
