Alcune news di mercato:
1) Spurs, Pistons keeping close check on
Chris Kaman, but Clippers won't move him until resolution on restricted free agent DeAndre Jordan.

Ecco se riuscissimo a prendere Kaman già sarebbe un'ottima presa, visto che abbiamo bisogno assoluto di un C e se Chris tornasse sui suoi livelli formerebbe un bella coppia con TD...
2) Chicago, Miami and San Antonio are expected to be among the teams interested in signing
Carter, 34, once he clears waivers and becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Ci mancherebbe anche la sbiadita copia di Vince Carter a fare compagnia a RJ...
3) Of all the free agency conversations to eavesdrop on during this fluid time, I'd pick the ones between
Shane Battier,
Grant Hill and their respective suitors. Both players are as bright as they come in this league, and you can bet they had plenty of poignant and pressing questions as they talked to team officials today.
Both small forwards are well-respected veterans with plenty left to offer prospective teams, and sources close to both players say they have yet to make up their minds regarding their future. While Hill himself has said the chances are good that he'll return to Phoenix, he has narrowed his list down to the Suns, Knicks, Bulls and Spurs with the Warriors, Celtics and Clippers trailing. The Knicks would seem unlikely, however, as sources have said New York is offering only one-year deals in order to preserve salary cap space for next summer when the likes of Paul, Howard and New Jersey point guard Deron Williams might be available as free agents.
Battier's list still includes Miami, San Antonio, Indiana, Toronto, Memphis, Boston and his former Memphis team. Oklahoma City has also had discussions with either Battier or his camp. The team-to-player conversations might matter more with players like these than with so many others, as a clear understanding of roles, goals and -- of course -- financial incentive will come into play.

Battier sarebbe il top da prendere ma la vedo dura vista la concorrenza, ma anche Hill darebbe una mano sicuramente...
