2001 Off-season Rumors

[Chris Broussard]

Lotto has rolled and though most teams stayed put, a team has jumped multiple spots for the coveted top 3 spot.

[Chris Broussard]

Apparently there's a large gulf between what Tim Thomas thinks he's worth and what the bulls front office thinks he's worth

[Chris Broussard]

I am being told the Raptors are more bbc.co than happy with Billups development, and won't even entertain or look at a winning teams offer.

[Chris Broussard]

Hearing from RFA crop that the Heat must think the weather is really nice after receiving their offer

[Chris Broussard]

No big surprise here, Tim Duncan and Tracy McGrady with the most max offers bidded on.

[Chris Broussard]

Anthony johnson's agent says he's a top tier pg in the league, and the first team to offer a max will get him on the spot. Still waiting though

[Chris Broussard]

After a slow start in the bidding process, teams are coming around on Antonio Daniels

[Chris Broussard]

I am being told Tim Thomas has received 4 max offers. All from West teams.

[Chris Broussard]

Tracy McGrady leads the pack of RFAs with 8 max offers currently.

[Chris Broussard]

KVH currently holds 7 max offers. Wow

[Chris Broussard]

Tim Duncan sitting on 6 max offers.

[Chris Broussard]

Chauncey Billups and Tim Thomas have received 5 max offers currently.

[Chris Broussard]

Anontino Daniels, the most likely to be moved, has received 3 max offers.

[Chris Broussard]

Surprisingly there isnt a lot of interest being shown in Alvin Williams. It wouldnt be surprising if Antonio Daniels received more max offers than Williams received in total bids!

My source tells me a team that recently submitted their bids have won a big man by grossly overpaying him. I think this player is a "lock" to go to said team.

I think he was using WIG as a verb.

After having a very quiet day, Bobby Jackson has suddenly become a hot commodity overnight and has bids locked into place for high value multi-year deals. Teams are falling in love with his 3 point shot and quickness as a PG.

[Chris Broussard]

We have reached out to Allan Houston to get his opinion on how round 1 od UFA is going for him.

"Honestly, it has been very quiet for me lately. Maybe in round 2 after teams miss on their initial targets I can get the offers I know I deserve."

[Chris Broussard]

Of course big money has been thrown out to Mourning, but fellow C Shawn Bradlet has received multiple max bids. This will be interesting.

[Chris Broussard]

Key players in Lakers winning seasons, Vin Baker and Bruce Bowen, have gotten a lot of love from the league. Lakers are hopeful their bids are competitive enough and their FAs show loyalty.
