Sounds like Victor Claver will leave Valencia Basketball and pay $600,000 buyout to come to #Blazers, according to @EmiliovEscudero.
"The truth is I'm a bit old school. For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey.
That's just the way it is," Nash said. "You play against them so many times in the playoffs, and I just use them as an example, and I have the utmost respect for them and their organization.
"I kind of have that tendency (to try to beat the best teams), so it is strange, but as a free agent you're free to go where you want, so I'd have to consider everything regardless of the past or the future."

Am I correct in saying that free agency period begins at the stroke of midnight, Sunday 12:00am?
Yes. Teams and players can begin talking. Contracts can't be signed until July 11th.

Do you know by what time zone the NBA deadlines apply to?
All NBA deadlines are in eastern time. It's because league offices are in NY.
Jordan Farmar intends to opt out of his contract by Saturday night, according to a close associate.

Colangelo said Alabi will not be given a qualifying offer. Thus he'll be a UFA. Said Alabi may still join the #Raptors summer league squad

Free Agency 2012: Power Forwards

Some team is going to vastly overpay Ryan Anderson. Eventually, they'll realize that he's just a slightly better version of Bonner without the red hair.
It looks like Toronto will use the amnesty clause on Calderon.
i would love to have him as our backup PG. I am sure a lot of teams will bid for his services.
Bobcats give qualifying offers to DJ Augustin and Derrick Brown - I assume by omission not DJ White and Cory Higgins?

Don't know about that Mel, a version of Bonner with enough stones to hold up in the playoffs would be a pretty decent player... Anderson is also a significantly better rebounder than Bonner.
That's not Anderson.
Career regular season PER: 18.4
Career playoff PER: 7.8
And take a look at this. There have been 908 players in NBA history who have played at least 400 minutes in the playoffs. Now place them in order by FG%. As one would expect our Red Rocket comes in at a dreadful 832nd out of 908.
Anderson is 905th of 908.

Miami and San Antonio are two more teams known to intrigue Calderon if he gets the chance to pick his next destination.
It's an extreme long shot and in many ways, he's not the type of backup point guard the Spurs need, but he is clear cut better than probably anyone they can get.
The New Orleans Hornets have officially waived Rashard Lewis. The 32-year-old will look to sign with a contender, according to sources.

Few hours after the start of the free agency and Spurs haven't been linked with a single free agent aside of their own free agents.
While it's possible Spurs have contacted some players and it hasn't been leaked, it's too possible Spurs won't pursue other teams free agents. They might just try to re-sign some of their players (Duncan, Green, Diaw and Mills) and add some of the players whose they own NBA rights (Lorbek, De Colo).
That's by far their most likely course of action.
They only have the MLE, BAE, and vet minimum to use in free agency. I'm sure they'd like to fit Diaw, Lorbek, and De Colo into the two larger exceptions, but I don't think they'll be successful. Perhaps Diaw for most of the MLE, leaving enough room for a player like Denmon on a contract similar to the one they structured for Blair. Then De Colo for BAE (If they could fit Diaw and De Colo into the MLE, then they could use the BAE on a young big whose value has tumbled for some reason and wants to go someplace to rehab his standing in the league). After that, maybe vet minimum contracts for a Shelden Williams level big and a 3rd string PG with NBA experience.
Match Green up to about 3.5M/year and Mills up to about half of that.
Any significant changes to the roster will have to come via trade and using the biggest trade chip, Jackson, may not be something they contemplate until mid-season.
Matching up a Mills offer won't be that easy to do. Spurs don't have Bird or even early Bird rights on him. If the offer starts above his $1,085,120 qualifying offer, Spurs will need to use the MLE/LLE to match the offer and they might want to use their MLE/LLE elsewhere.
Ah, didn't know that. Thanks.
Has the signing date been shorted from the previous CBA? I thought it was going to be 7 days.
July moratorium and signing dates from 2012 thru 2020:

Can they offer a multi-year deal starting at the qualifying offer without using any of their MLE/LLE? Thanks.
