Bobby Jackson's agent, when asked how business was, said nothing but did crack a big smile. My sources tell me that Bobby will have his pick of six or seven max offers but wants to go to a team where he can "showcase his scoring talents."

Sources inside the Clippers front office tell me they are looking at getting the band back together and preparing offer sheets for Terry Mills and Cliff Robinson.

Rumor in Houston has the Rockets trying to ship out Greg Graham and Wesley Person for future picks or cash. They want to be able to have enough cash on hand to make a max offer. I'm hearing they're trying to clear enough room for a full 4-year max offer to defensive stud Bryon Russell.

Cedric Ceballos was recently seen at EPCOT Center. His limo driver told us Cedric took time to stop at the Magic's practice facility for a couple of hours before arriving at EPCOT.

Anthony Goldwire has been looking to parlay a strong performance in last year's playoffs into a steady check. So far, however, his agent hasn't received a single phone call about him. Could he be going back to Milwaukee on a cheap deal?

[Sources]

Dee Brown has reportedly let it be known that he would be willing to take less money from the Timberwolves than from other teams as long as the contract is longer. Apparently Gugs is a great recruiter.

[Sources]

Vin Baker has been getting less interest than he hoped following a stellar year with the Lakers. His agent let it slip that he was considering moving East for less money because "it will be easier than going through Kemp."

One GM believes the market for a supermax contract player is highest after one season. He expects the biggest trade in league history next offseason.

Trending Now: Trade Flaking. Will you be the next victim?

Jim Jackson is a bit unsettled regarding all the trade rumors involving him. He felt he found a home in Minnesota, but instead, it looks like he's being forced out. Will this end in a contract buy-out situation, or can the Timberwolves find a suitable situation that is appealing to both parties? Those close to the Mavericks organization are hoping for the latter.

The Phoenix Suns are trying something different this off-season. They plan to hold it at The Greenbriar. But will this life of luxury during an important time of the off-season make them soft? A Suns insider says "Well, it can't get much worse."

In what is the worst kept secret in the entire league, the Boston Celtics have agree'd to a deal to trade Alonzo Mourning the Seattle Supersonics. The deal is said to include 2 moderate, at best, first round picks. Most GMs are really wondering where the fire to win went in the Celtics front office.

[Sources]

Prized free agent Alozo Mourning is receiving a lot of interest from teams around the league. With many teams able to afford a max bid, many just want to enter the sweepstakes in hopes Celtics either dont enter or win a supermax deal.

Another free agent to keep an eye on is the former 76ers PG Bobby Jackson, who had his RFA rights declined for the 76ers to save money. He is 28 years old, but with some potential to grow he may be the best PG on the market.

Isiah Rider says his phone has not stopped ringing from reporters inquiring about the persistent rumors he is being shopped for sign and trade offers.

When asked if any of those calls were offers from rival teams, he smiled and replied, "You know, maybe one or two" winked, and walked off.

Other sources say when Rider walked off, it took a cool 45 minutes due to his fading quickness.

and another few minutes, Rider's friend and peer Cedric Ceballos was seen jogging after him panting, "Yo, Isaiah, wait up man." (For reference, Rider has 8 higher quickness than Ceballos. Which makes sense.)

[Sources]

Hearing a huge deal in the making since RFA ended has fallen through. Word is because another team has made a serious offer that tops the previous.

We don't see too many superstar-for-superstar trades. We might see one tonight.
