Lots of Interest in David Lee
David Lee is generating lots of interest in the early days of free agency; ESPN’s Chris Sheridan is reporting that Lee has been contacted by “eight or nine” teams, and that his representatives have already scheduled meetings with the Heat, Bulls, T-Wolves and Nets.

Jefferson's Opt-Out and Parker's Trade Status
In a move that could have far-reaching implications on this summer’s trade market, Spurs forward Richard Jefferson has opted out of the final year of his contract and will hit free agency this summer.
The decision is a bit of a head-scratcher; Jefferson would have made $15 million if he played out the final year of his deal. He’s unlikely to match that number on the open market...

LeBron on LeBrink
One month ago, most Knicks fans believed a Cavaliers championship was their best chance of seeing LeBron James in a New York jersey. He'd win his title, appear on the deck of the S.S. Cavs in his flight suit with a "Mission Accomplished" banner flying and then move on to his next challenge with head held high.

Vindication?
The Phoenix Suns - Mike D'Antoni's old team - swept San Antonio and are headed to the Western Conference Finals. Seeing the old team succeed - after leading the new team to another 50-loss campaign - might be difficult for some coaches.
