    Pacers decline to give a qualifying offer to Evan Turner. He is now unrestricted. Any interest?

    I wouldn't mind Evan Turner if he came for the right price.

    nah i think he was one of the reasons pacers chemistry was killed. maybe if he was happy coming off the bench but i really doubt that

    Yuck.

    Even Turner is a career 12 PER with a TS% sub-50.

    Barton >>> Turner

    Recently read "Don't Put Me In Coach" by former Ohio State walkon, Mark Titus .... needless to say, it doesn't paint Turner in the best picture and I can understand why there are some rumblings about him causing trouble in the Indiana locker room.

    Vince Carter is the only one I've heard:
    The Dallas Mavericks and Vince Carter have a strong mutual interest to agree upon a new contract, but he is also expected to receive interest from the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors.

    Carter averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.4 minutes per game last season despite being 37.

    Raptors plan to offer their free agent PG Kyle Lowry a contract starting at $14.5 million at 12:15 AM meeting in Toronto, Yahoo source said.

    Sounds like he's staying a Raptor, hopefully the Heat get shut out on most players and can't improve their team much.

    I heard Raps' offer to Kyle Lowry will start at $12 million annually. @SpearsNBAYahoo just reported Raptors' pitch will open at $14.5 mil

    Another team to watch in the Greg Monroe restricted free-agent hunt: I'm told Portland has serious interest in a sign-and-trade for Monroe

    Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

    Curious as to how much he might garner. Since Portland and Detroit are similarly over the cap, it would have to be a fairly even trade. He's at $4MM now, if he signs for say $7MM, what combination of T-Rob, Leonard, Freeland, CJ, Wright are you willing to give up and what would Detroit want?
