4 hours technically.  Still waiting for the salary cap release, which last year came right around this time on the 30th.

Tony Jones reporting for Bleacher Report that of all the RFA, Parker is one that is truly available.

I think Parker wants out. It will be interesting if any team is willing to offer him more than the MLE. Kings and Hawks are possibilities. Pacers are too as a second choice to Gordon.

It will be interesting to see if we hear anything about Baynes or Smart tonight. I expect Smart to meet with a few other teams, but I could see Baynes getting signed tonight.

PG considering a 2-3 year deal with OKC.

Wow. What a moron, lol ;D.

Tell that to OKC and the incredibly massive luxury tax bill they’re facing if George resigns.  Watching OKC purge their roster over the next months will be quite interesting.

These moves by the Lakers to cut Ullis and Bryant might be an indication of something more than Lebron coming. They'd likely keep those guys to fill out the roster if Lebron was the only move.

I think that's the weird thing here, because George sounds like he is going back to OKC and Cousins is going back to NOP.

Who else would be worthy of big money?

This may not be happening, but I wonder if Paul goes there for the max because the Rockets aren't willing to pay him. Then, I wonder if Wade follows.

Then, I wonder if Melo gets bought out to save OKC on the luxury tax and goes to LA.

Banana boat 5 years late.

These moves help them keep Randle’s cap hold.

Why so much hate on PG potentially staying in OKC? They took a gamble and used the season to pitch him and it may actually pay off. Goes to show that more teams should've been willing to throw themselves in the mix for last offseason. And it's nice for once that smaller market team isn't just a farm system for the Lakers.

I don't understand that connection. Why couldn't they keep his cap hold with Bryant and Ullis and sign James?
