Charle's Free Agency & Trade Updates Hello everyone, my name is Charles. I have registered on this site this morning, to give all the members here updates on what's going around the NBA. I am a Insider, and get background information for most teams, before it happens. If anyone has any question about a certain player, feel free to ask.
What's going on with John Salmons, is he going to sign with the Raptors or the Suns? BTW, how did you become an insider?

BTW, how did you become an insider?</div> It is completely up to Salmons on where he wants to end up, Suns have offered 5 years, for 22 million. While Toronto is believed to be offering five years at about $1 million more a season. Salmons will be also looking at where he could possibly get more playing time as well.

What teams have shown interest?</div> Just recieved a phone call on Gooden Gooden and the Cavaliers are still in a disagreement, on what Gooden is worth, The Cavs see him as a key role player who works hard and is a team player who doesn't worry about stats. However Gooden's case is that he's more valuable than his numbers. The Cavs could be seeking a sign and trade with Gooden.
What's going on with Drew Gooden, are the Cavs interested in re-signing him? What teams have shown interest?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">Hey Charle's, how come you just read the RealGM headlines and pretend to be smart?</div> Oh, come on... You didn't believe him when he came in here and "announced" he was an "insider?" I was "sold" then.
I just got a phone call that the Raptors have signed Anthony Parker. Terms of the contract are top secret though.
My source has reported that the Heat are now the official NBA Champions. It should be announced sometime soon.

According to 44, a deal is should be coming soon?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">If you're REALLY an insider, tell me what the Knicks are up to this offseason.</div> I have a couple of sources that work in the Knicks organization. I talked to them yesterday about all the rumors I have heard on the net about Kenyon Martin. They say that the Knicks are very close to pulling off a deal. The key piece to the deal would be Frye, and an unprotected first round draft pick. IT has made it clear that he wants an upgrade, and Kenyon will bring hustle and toughness to the Knicks squad. They also told me that a deal for Zach Randolph and Darius Miles is close in the books. IT will most likely be sending Stephon Marbury along with Nate Robinson and an expiring contract for both Randolph and Miles. The deal could be finalized as early as tomorrow. PS: ^ That's all a joke.
