Maybe this doesn't deserve it's own thread because EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO LEBRON JAMES, but there are quite a few other free agents in the NBA....
..... like Drew Gooden who signed a $30 million contract for 5 years with Milwaukee.

I'm curious what it means that RJ opted out of his contract with the Spurs. I've read good and bad on it. Consensus is he has a deal worked out with Buford but who knows. Our cap took a hit with him opting out.

I'm also enjoying watching Simmons and others kill Minnesota for their moves the past few days.

Well, I sort of half-heartedly defended Kahn for the Flynn-Rubio pick, but I can't say I stand by Darko. Yeesh.

@chadfordinsider
That's big RT @iraheatbeat Potentially staggering news, D Wade is meeting again tonight with Bulls, likely in the presence of his agent

Which team will be worse next year: The Knicks or the Heat? I think both might go 0-80-2. The -2 clearly coming from the two times they play each other and the NBA institutes a tie rule.

As far as RJ goes, Spurs lose his expiring contract for next year. That's not a good thing. On the other hand, he won't be sucking the life out of the team anymore, so that has to be a positive.

Apparently Joe Johnson hasn't yet accepted Atlanta's deal.

Wade and Bosh were both in the meeting tonight with Chicago. That has to be a good sign for Chicago.

Stoudemire officially to Knicks. So the Knicks are now, what? A 30 win team? Or is that too many? |

That's about right. They'll beat the Nets and Hornets of the world more regularly than they have been, but still get rolled by any decent team.

So it looks like Wade+Bosh in Miami.
That's a Miami team with Wade, Bosh, Chalmers, Beasley, and nothing else. 6 seed? 5 seed?
Tentative EC power rankings - assuming LBJ stays:
1) Orlando
2) Cleveland
3) Atlanta
4) Boston
5) Milwaukee
6-8) Knicks, Nets (if they get someone), Bulls, Heat, Pistons?
And does anyone look like more of a git than Chris Bosh right now?

If Orlando dumps Carter and takes on someone else, anyone else, they're a SOLID number one.

Boozer to Chicago. This all but guarantees Lebron to Cleveland, right?
