Check out nba.com's player movement http://www.nba.com/transactions/movement2003_index.html Jason Terry, 6-1, guard, restricted free agent The Hawks, who can match any offer for Terry, need him more than ever now that Glenn Robinson is with the 76ers. Don't expect Terry's situation to be settled before the Hawks' situation regarding the sale of the team is settled Stephen Jackson, 6-8, forward, free agent With Hedo Turkoglu's and Ron Mercer's arrivals combined with Manu Ginobili's emergence, Jackson seems to be the odd man out in San Antonio. He averaged 12.8 points in the Spurs' championship run and was the team's third-leading scorer in the regular season Jim Jackson, 6-6, forward, free agent Had the lowest scoring average for his career (7.7), yet filled in admirably for an injury-riddled Kings team in 2002-03 season. After seeing Keon Clark traded to Utah for cap purposes, Jackon could be wearing his 10th NBA uniform when the season begins Predrag Drobnjak, 7-0, center, restricted free agent He's restricted, which means the Sonics have the right to match any offer another team may make. Drobnjak is the rare player who can spot up and shot from the perimeter as his 35.3 percent shooting from three will attest. Vladimir Stepania, 7-1, center, free agent Someone should be able to use a 7-1 center who set a career-high for rebounds per game (7.0) by grabbing three more per game than ever had before. An unusually low career shooting percentage for a big man (42.6 percent) may make teams shy away, however. Stepania's team, the Heat, made an attempt to resign him earlier in the summer and he rebuffed them. They will probably try again Raja Bell, 6-5, guard, free agent Defense is Bell's strong suit, as indicated by his career scoring average (3.2 points per game). Has never averaged more than 15.6 minutes per game in his three-year career. Kenny Anderson, 6-2, guard, free agent Anyone need a seasoned veteran point guard? Anyone? Anderson last played for the Hornets and he'll be entering his 13th season in 2003-04. Assist to turnover ratio is decent (3 to 1) for a backup who averages almost 20 minutes per game. Tyrone Hill, 6-9, forward, free agent Anyone need a seasoned veteran power forward? Hill last played for the Sixers and he has an 8.6 rebounds per game average for his career, but he has only played 82 games in a season once, and that was during the 1991-92 season with the Warriors. Mark Jackson, 6-3, point guard, free agent Made his NBA debut when Ronald Reagan was still president. Last season with Utah, Jackson passed Magic Johnson for second place on the all-time assists list and now has 10,215 for his career. As recently as the 2001-02 season, when he was with the Knicks, he averaged 7.4 dimes per game. Dion Glover, 6-5, guard/forward, free agent Glover is in the same boat as Terry. The Hawks' fourth leading scorer last season at 9.7 per game has seen his scoring average increase each season. He entered the league as a 19-year-old. He has the bulk to play limited minutes small forward if need be.

It's fine here. I'm really surprised no one's signed Tyrone Hill. Anyone needing solid rebounding should go to him. It's not likely that he'll play an 70+ games, but he'll contribute.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">Is Lenerd still a free agent ? He should be on there.</div> yeah i agree.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">Lenard is expected to sign for Nuggets in a few days..</div> do u have a source to provide?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting txuonline:</div><div class="quote_post">do u have a source to provide?</div> ESPN Insider had a story on it. But we cannot post articles from them on here for legalility issues.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting txuonline:</div><div class="quote_post">do u have a source to provide?</div> Yes..and It is in the "nuggets eye Lenard" thread just below this thread....there was also an article in the denverpost he is set to sign.. I'm also expecting some news by the end of the week on the status of Stephen Jackson.. on who he will sign for.Or at least I hope so...
What teams have cap space remaining? Utah Atlanta L.A. Clippers Denver My guess is SJax signs with the Jazz or Hawks. Most likely the Jazz since the Hawks will likely re-sign Jason Terry. I think SJax will have the opportunity to start in Utah and gets a chance to improve his game under Jerry Sloan.
Well Utah-Most likely place..they have been in talks for a while..and need a shooting guard Hawks-Doubt this happens...he cancelled a visit but the Hawks have talked to one of his "people" so I guess him going to Atlanta is still possible..they better offer good money...as deep down I think he doesn't like the lack of fans and atmosphere in the franchise...(direction it's going) Denver-With Lenard set to sign there..It seems out of the question Clippers-Havn't talked to him or his agent and don't seem interested Dallas were interested..but they don't have the money or the room for him So really it should be the Jazz....but I should find out some more news at the end of the week...

He averaged 14.3 points last season, with 92 3-pointers. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder averaged 11.8 points with the Nuggets from 2000-02. Denver's roster also includes several other shooting guards: Rodney White, Jon Barry, Jeff Trepagnier and Vincent Yarbrough.</div>

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">That's why Allnet said "EXPECTED TO SIGN," nothing is official.</div> but the word COULD means could. that doesnt mean it will necessarily happen. EXPECTED means will. could and expected are different.
No....Being the frontrunner to sign a player means expected...It's not only from that article...I have my sources too And no again..Expected means should happen..not will
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting txuonline:</div><div class="quote_post">but the word COULD means could. that doesnt mean it will necessarily happen. EXPECTED means will. could and expected are different.</div> I guess you need a lesson in grammar. Please go to dictionary.com, type in the word EXPECT. This is the definition you will receive. To look forward to the probable occurrence or appearance of To consider likely or certain As you should see Expect DOES NOT mean will.
