Sources close to Chris Gatling's camp said his phone has been ringing off the hook. We're being told that he has received offers from 15 different teams and is mulling over his decision. It seems though he will know where his heart (and wallet) is (are) by 8pm CST tonight.

Those close to Tharon Mayes say that teams are beating down his door. The figures for his offers have all been close, but his agent claims that long-term stability is what he's looking for, not high-dollar 1-year deals.

Eric Murdock was spotted test driving a 1999 Bentley Hunaudieres Concept. Is he about to cash in? Or is he just driving one of the most expensive cars of the year for the thrill of it?

Following up on earlier reports, Chris Gatling was overheard telling his tax accountant that he may have the month of April off if he signs with a team in Texas or Florida.

After playing for a cold-weather team, Mookie Blaylock indicated to sources that he'd prefer to live in a warmer city again, noting that he looks back fondly to his time back in Dallas.

Fans in both Cleveland and Chicago are getting anxious after hearing no reports linking their respective teams to any of the top free agents. Threats from fans on the World Wide Web message boards claim to cancel their season ticket packages if their teams completely strike out during one of the deepest free agencies in recent years.

Word around the league is that Blazers leadership has finally thrown in the towel on their Bradley, Scott, Hardaway core and all veterans on the team are being shopped.

Many people around the league are confirming that the defending champion, Golden State Warriors, are offering their yearly deal of expirings and 10 points to acquire a difference maker. While most think its a terrible package, it's propelled the Warriors to the finals before.

Bulls on verge of firing GM JHow who has gone on hiatus like he did in Cleveland and are looking at immediate replacements. Former Clipper GM Prepp seems to be the favorite. The question is, will he step down from the broadcast booth to accept the job.

Sources confirm the Grizzles front ooffice has fired all janitorial staff before deadline, citing the worsening condition of hygiene in team lockerroom which has led to the foot fungus injuries of two star players.

Sources in Phoenix tell me the Suns have gotten a lot of calls about Iverson, but most of the offers have been lackluster. GM Inner_GI is waiting to get blown away by an offer before giving the Answer.

As the trade deadline begins creeping up, teams are starting to take notice that Juwan Howard has been on the block all season. His house in D.C. was recently put on the market - does Juwan know something we don't?

Looks like more confusion in Chicago - several GMs I spoke with said they received text messages minutes apart from new GM PPrep that "Miller and Thomas may be available" and "nobody is moving." One GM I spoke to said, "I'm not sure if he's confused or trying to play trade hardball... and I'm not sure he is sure, either."

With several teams desperately looking for help in the frontcourt as the trade deadline approaches, we're hearing that Ervin Johnson's famous blog may be on the move. Whether or not Johnson goes with it remains to be seen.

Sources telling me that Atlanta's cheapskate owner is feverishly trying to find someone to offer a draft pick for Jeff McInnis following the salary dump of Bryant Stith to Philly so that they can squeeze back under the cap. Apparently money is more important than winning to the Catman.

Sources close to Suns front office, say Suns are working hard on moving Iverson to one of 3 places, but moving Iverson may be the first of many moves before the deadline for the Suns.

Other Suns players being discussed: Dee Brown, Rik Smits, Cliff Robinson, and Michael Jordan. We are told Williams, Van Horn, and O'neal are safe.
