Mike Conley and All-Stars Andre Drummond and DeMar DeRozan are staying put.
Yeezy Boost 350 Red October . So are Hassan
Whiteside and Nicolas Batum.Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah and many more players are
on the move -- and some are getting paid like they never could have
imagined.Howard and Noah both returned to their hometowns Friday, with the
Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks hoping the former Defensive Players of the
Year have plenty left to offer.Howard agreed to a three-year deal worth $70.5
million with the Hawks, with the Knicks gave Noah $72 million over four
years.Kent Bazemore also re-signed with the Hawks for $70 million over four
years, joining players such as Chandler Parsons, Evan Turner and Timofey Mozgov
in cashing in during the first day of free agency -- and really, of a new era --
in the NBA.With revenues rising and the salary cap soaring right along with it,
good players were being paid like All-Stars, while All-Stars were getting
contracts that used to go only to superstars.And former players couldnt help but
be a little jealous.Um.....it might be time for a
comeback.........(hash)freeagency, former Miami forward Shane Battier wrote on
Twitter.Conley is in a class of his own -- for now- after agreeing to a $153
million, five-year deal to remain in Memphis, the biggest deal handed out
yet.And the players at the top of the class havent even started agreeing to
deals yet. Kevin Durant and Al Horford probably cant wait to see what they get
after watching what lesser players on the market have already received.For
example:Parsons -- four years, $94 million from Memphis.Turner -- four years,
$70 million from Portland.Mozgov -- four years, $64 million from the
Lakers.Their timing was even better than their play, as they became free agents
at the ideal moment. With the NBAs national TV contracts worth more than $2.6
billion annually beginning with next season, the salary cap thats tied to
revenues will soar well beyond its previous record to between $90 million to 95
million.Some players didnt have to wait long to claim their share of
it.Drummonds five-year maximum contract to stay in Detroit will be worth $130
million, just a share more than the $128 million Bradley Beal got to remain in
Washington. DeRozan will do a little better in Toronto and Charlotte kept Batum
for about $120 million.But the Hornets lost a couple of key players from their
48-win team, as Jeremy Lin got a three-year, $36 million contract from Brooklyn,
and the Pacers lured Al Jefferson to Indiana with a three-year, $30 million
contract.None of the contracts can be signed until July 7, after next seasons
salary cap is set and the moratorium is lifted.Missing out on the money was O.J.
Mayo, the former No. 3 overall pick who finished last season in Milwaukee and
was a free agent. But he was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on Friday
for violating the terms of the leagues anti-drug program, the first player to
receive that punishment in a decade. He will be eligible to apply for
reinstatement in two years.His old team was busy, as the Bucks agreed to terms
with free agent shooter Mirza Teletovic on a three-year deal worth $30 million,
and also agreed to terms on a four-year, $38.4 million offer sheet with
restricted free agent Matthew Dellavedova. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the
option to match that deal.Durant had his first discussions with another team,
meeting with the Golden State Warriors. He met with his Oklahoma City Thunder on
Thursday, before free agency opened, as the former NBA MVP decides whether to
remain with the franchise that selected him with the No. 2 pick in 2007.The
other MVP available is LeBron James, who opted to become a free agent. But he
said last week he intends to return to Cleveland to defend the citys first
championship in 52 years.The Cavaliers biggest decision could be what to do with
free agent forward J.R. Smith, whose 3-point shooting -- and defense -- helped
Cleveland rally to beat Golden State in the finals. Smith fits in well with
Cleveland because he follows James lead and hes embraced a stoppers role given
to him by coach Tyronn Lue.---AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland

. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.
WASHINGTON -- For all of LeBron James achievements, from MVP awards to NBA
championships, the hootin and hollerin coming from the Cleveland Cavaliers
locker room Friday night -- and the water dumped on No. 23 by teammates -- was
to mark a relatively obscure milestone: youngest NBA player to reach 27,000
career points.They lied to me. They said that Coach (Tyronn) Lue had
accomplished something, and they were going to douse him. And I was kind of
surprised, like, `What happened? You guys are going to mess up his suit, James
said with a smile. And then ... they rushed me and got all my clothes wet and
everything.The impromptu celebration capped a perfect trip to the nations
capital for the Cavs, who added a win to their White House visit by beating the
Washington Wizards 105-94 as James had 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
He made three of Clevelands 14 3-pointers.At 31, James is about 1 1/2 years
younger than Kobe Bryant was when he became the previous youngest to 27,000
points.Thats NBA history, man. Its truly an honor to be part of the journey like
that, said teammate Kyrie Irving, who scored 29 for Cleveland and helped hold
Washingtons John Wall to only five of his 28 points after halftime. And hes
really just humble about it.Adding a bit of humor to the proceedings, Irving
noted: It also tells you that hes been in the league for a while.A day after
being feted as NBA champions by President Barack Obama, the Cavaliers improved
to 7-1 this season, recovering quickly from their only loss, which came against
Atlanta on Tuesday.Kevin Love contributed 14 points and 16 rebounds, while J.R.
Smiths 17 points included five 3s. One gave Cleveland its biggest margin of the
game, at 84-72 with a minute remaining in the third quarter.Wall noted the stats
from 3-point range: The Cavs were 14 of 33; the Wizards were 3 of 15, barely
attempting more thann their opponents made.
Yeezy Boost 350 Black Uk. .Thats basically
the game, Wall said, right there.TIP-INSCavaliers: James clutched at his lower
right back after getting fouled with 7 1/2 minutes left, but remained in the
game. ... Smith was called for a Flagrant-1 foul in third quarter.Wizards: Fell
to 2-6. ... SG Bradley Beal sat out with a tight right hamstring. He was
replaced in the lineup by Marcus Thornton, who scored two points in 21 minutes.
... F Otto Porter Jr., who had a 34-point, 14-rebound effort against Boston on
Wednesday, had 11 points and eight rebounds Friday.OUBRES OFFENSEWizards
substitute Kelly Oubre Jr. scored the teams last eight points of the first
quarter, which ended with the hosts ahead 31-26.Its my job to be ready whenever
my name is called, Oubre said. I cant worry about minutes. I cant worry about
nothing else.FREE CHICKEN!A sellout crowd of 20,356 saved its loudest cheers for
when two free throws missed by Love meant spectators would be able to get a free
fast-food chicken sandwich.WHITE HOUSEWhen you get a chance to meet the
President of the United States -- and he knows your first name and last name,
and knows your stats and how you play and who you are as a person -- it just
means a lot, Lue said.UP NEXTCavaliers: Host the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
Cleveland won three of four against Charlotte last season.Wizards: At the
Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Wall will sit out for the second time in the second
game of a back-to-back set this season, part of Washingtons effort to manage his
minutes after offseason operations on both knees. Coach Scott Brooks wasnt sure
who would start in Walls place -- or whether Beal would be available.---Follow
