Good article on the 2008 Free Agency. It's Insider but it's a free one.

Anyone know if Petteri Koponen has decided if he will enter the draft yet?

He is in the draft, should go late 1 to mid 2nd. Expect Phoenix and San Antonio late round 1 to take a look.

New Hawks Jersey's are sleek as hell, no more red, I'm loving it, I still love the Neon Green most followed by the one in my sig, and then the black and red one with the big hawk but I'm liking the new era look:

Unrestricted:Allen Iverson, Baron Davis, Gilbert Arenas, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Antawn Jamison, Shawn Marion, Ron Artest, Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, Elton Brand, Corey Maggete, Jermaine Oneal, Bruce Bowen.

Restricted:Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, Ekeka Okafor, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Devin Harris, Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins, Shaun Livingston, Craig Smith, Nenad Kristic, Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Martin, Jose Calderon,

THe raps have got to resign Calderon, WHat kind of deal do u think he will demand, he loves toronto though. So many great players and the raps have a lot of cap room next year, as long as rasho doesnt pick up his option.

Not a fan at all. I acutally liked the red on the old unis. These look like the Bobcats.

J-smoove looks beastly now a days.

[M.O.T.H.]

At first glance, i thought that was Josh Smith in a Nets uni...

I like em'... wish the Magic would get some better jerseys, or atleast bring the throwbacks back... permanently.

[Green Bay Scat]

Ive seen worse...

-The Mavericks continue to be a source of discussion in potential trade rumors.

Please...Please god, not Noah.

Acie Law has a promise?

After cancelling a workout with the New Orleans Hornets, the Oklahoman is speculating that Acie Law may have received a guarantee from the Atlanta Hawks. A quick call to Law’s agency, Wasserman Media Group, leads us to believe otherwise. “Acie Law does not have a promise from Atlanta,” told us Greg Lawrence of WMG. “The workout went well, and teams are impressed by him, but he does not have a commitment.”

I'd be interesting to see where they take him if this is true. Ghetto's brought up a rumor about ATL taking him as early as 3.

-Most of the people we talked to today have Brandan Wright going 4th in their mock draft oddly enough, based off what they are hearing. This seems like a strange place considering that he doesn’t seem to fit at all next to Pau Gasol (and isn’t polished enough to get him excited enough to back off his trade demands, anyway), but that’s where a few teams we spoke to have him. For now we’re sticking with Conley at #4, but we’ll see how much steam Noah and Wright can pick up in the next few days.

Welp that really helps my mock.

You knew that after the way the Mavs got beat in the playoffs Mark Cuban was going to do some shuffling around in SOME kind of way. I really feel that Jason Terry's number in Dallas is numbered.

[Paul]

Terry has been in alot of trade rumors. But I have to say he was the only one who showed any heart during that GS series.

[Flyboy]

Actually I'd give that honor to Josh Howard.

[RaiderNation]

hope the kings get a big man

[Flyboy]

I think they look like crap.

I love the green jerseys, they are sick as hell!

[Namy]

A couple users have already mentioned it, but it looks like a Nets uni... and the hawk itself looks like the babcot design. I guess it's an upgrade from the previous jersey tho... but not by much. Hawks uni w/o the red looks weird to me.

[WMD]

The new Hawks uniforms look like the Bobcats uni's as Paul said.. They're good but they should've done something different.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

They should have kept the old bobcats logo.

Man the suns would be effed in the head if they traded Marion for Joakim Noah.

[scottyboy]

I've seen a lot with the Nets interested in McRoberts, which i hate the idea of, but also bigs around there are Splitter and Smith. Anyone(esp Ghetto) wanna give me some more info and your opinion on these two? can they contribute right away(mainly Splitter) and is 17 good value for them?
