@ESPNSteinLine: Reports of deal between Hawks & Kent Bazemore are premature but I'm told Bazemore he has face-to-face meeting scheduled w/Hawks tomorrow
@BenKFAN
Looks like Bazemore signing may be premature. @MySportsLegion had first reported the signing.

Gun for gasol! If not, Chris Douglas-Roberts or Aminu
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
Hornets rookie PJ Hairston got into a minor altercation with a prep senior in a pickup game in Durham,NC,today his agent confirmed to Yahoo
Bazemore is scheduled to meet with us on Monday or Tuesday, i believe, would be odd for him to make that decision so quickly without seeing other offers (ours is likely the B.A.E, which is lower than $ 3 million per)
Apparently LeBron to Cleveland is picking up steam...seen several sources start bringing it up. I for one hope he goes back.
Fine, sure, as long as he doesn't go to Phoenix or LA

ESPN sources say Rockets are "heavily engaged" with Chris Bosh in attempt to get Bosh to leave Heat in free agency. Story hits online soon
Not good if this happens.
Would only want Bazemore for his celebration dancing on the bench lol. Kidding aside, he's still very young who has yet to find a home.
Do you guys think other big moves like this would be something that could swing Gasol to take the Spurs' offer? Do you think something like this would play a part in Pau's decision?
I guess Houston has given up on getting either James or Anthony.

Wow that would be a scary good fit for Houston. Hopefully someone poached Parsons away.
Is it possible that the Heat are trying to get Bosh to leave so they can use that money on other players?
For example, what if they go with Gasol, Anthony, James and Wade instead? Do you guys think Bosh is worth a max contract? I don't think Miami does.
I'd try and go with this kind of lineup :
C Gasol
PF James
SF Anthony (I think he'd be an upgrade to Bosh as he's a better shooter and better in the post, he can also play some PF for them)
SG Wade (sign him to about 10M per year to have enough money to offer Gasol more than the MLE). Would that work salary cap wise? Give James and Anthony close to the max.

If the Heat were truly cold-hearted they would renounce Wade and offer him scraps after they sign everyone else.
No I don't think Bosh is worth the max. He just average the lowest points since his rookie year and lowest rebounds of his career. All in favor of shooting more 3s at a 31% clip. In short, Bosh has become SOFT and thank God we're not in the mix! We can only hope the Rockets somehow free up the space to offer him a huge contract, it would cripple them for years! They can also kiss Chandler goodbye I'd think.
I know it's downstairs too but just wanted to try embedding a tweet
Would make the Rockets a top 3 team for sure (in the NBA) not sure they can hang with us or OKC in a 7 game series, but Howard and Bosh could be a pain in the ass. Not to mention Harden and Parsons.
On the plus side, the East could have another bottom feeder in Miami that the Spurs can beat up on.
How do you BTW?

Once Pat Riley has chance to lay out his progress in free agency to James soon, there could be better clarity on James' next step.

Chris Bosh still hasn't taken step of talking directly with Rockets, sources tell Yahoo Sports. If he does, things could change fast here.More

Around Bosh/Wade, there's uneasiness about James' intent; uncertainty. No one's sure -- yet. Heat aren't done, but empire's teetering.
Gawd, LeBron is such an attention . Milking this for every second he's got.
bosh does not want to go toward the basket and spend the energy
howard can rebound in houston
bosh thinks he is the max but all he does is shot threes
Love what the Hawks are doing.
Last year they picked up very underrated value in free agency, DeMarre Carrol for cheap (5 mil over 2 yrs; I wanted him bad last off-season instead of Beli). This year they sign Bazemore 6 mil over 2 years, who's another very underrated player.
Hawks are efficiently using their cap space resource more so than any other team right now. Nice Job Danny!
