AUBURN HILLS - Two NBA officials confirmed Friday night that Detroit center Ben Wallace, considered by most to be the top free agent available this summer, is scheduled to meet with the Chicago Bulls in Chicago today. Teams can begin negotiating with free agents today, but they can not sign players to contracts until July 12.
The Bulls are one of the few teams that will have enough salary cap space to sign Wallace, who as an unrestricted free agent can sign with any team he wants.

Pryzabilla is leaving ?
Classic 'change of scenery' guy. Front offices feel he'll someday get it - somewhere.
I laugh realizing he was like a #5 pick.
Ah, he's only 23. He may yet get it.
The Nuggets formally offered Anthony a five-year maximum contract extension worth an estimated $80 million on Saturday morning and Anthony didn't hesitate to accept.
The Timberwolves on Friday exercised their team option for the second year of guard Bracey Wright's contract, keeping him on the roster for next season.
The team also extended a qualifying offer to restricted free-agent forward Justin Reed, ensuring the team can match any contract offer he receives from other teams. The team did not make a qualifying offer to forward Ronald Dupree, which means he now is an unrestricted free agent.

HEAT: James Posey exercised his $6.4 million option to stay with Miami next season, electing not to become a free agent. He and the Heat probably will talk about a long-term deal in the coming weeks.
Posey averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds during the playoffs for NBA champion Miami.
Miami picked up reserve guard Jason Kapono's $1.1 million deal. He averaged 4.1 points per game last season, with two starts.
NETS: Clifford Robinson and the team have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract that will keep him with New Jersey next season, agent Brad Marshall said. Earlier Friday, the Nets announced that they had declined to exercise a $2.5 million option on the existing contract for Robinson, who has career averages of 14.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game over 17 seasons

Not a horrible option as a third point.Boston waives Orien Greene.
But Cassell, the 36-year-old point guard and undisputed on-court general of the Clippers last season, late Saturday agreed to a two-year, $13-million contract, keeping intact a Clippers nucleus that lasted longer than the Lakers in this year's playoffs.
Free agents cannot officially sign contracts until July 12.
Throughout the day, Cassell was weighing three options: a two-year, $13-million offer from Atlanta, a two-year, $11-million offer from the Clippers and a three-year, $12-million offer from Denver. After learning Atlanta was the highest bidder, Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy told Cassell to give him a number to get the deal done, sources said.
Dunleavy received approval from Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling to increase the offer, and Cassell agreed to remain with the team he helped lead to new heights last season.

Well Kori have 600$, so who is the owner with the money?
Atlanta looking for a point. Interesting.
He is long and play defense. No other strength though. All he need to do is to bring the ball to the next side of the court and pass to whoever and then get back to play defense. So, he can be a good 3rd PG.
Nene will sign with Denver
"We're making a lot of progress on Reggie and I'm hopeful we'll reach terms," Fegan said.

Sterling is a misunderstood genius.
