*Dalembert, 76ers Agree To New Deal
The Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a six-year contract late Saturday with restricted free agent center Samuel Dalembert, his agent Marc Cornstein told SI.com. Salary figures were not immediately available.
Dalembert had been scheduled to interview Monday with the Atlanta Hawks , who possessed enough cap space to make him a maximum offer.
With this agreement, the 76ers have made good on their promise to re-sign free agents Dalembert, Willie Green and Kyle Korver. They also now have one of the highest payrolls in the NBA.
*Sonics, Spurs, Pistons And Wolves Ready To Go After Evans
Roger Montgomery, Maurice Evans' agent, said Saturday the Kings have not aggressively attempted to retain his client.
"Based on their recent acquisitions," Montgomery said, "I would have to infer the Kings are not really into re-signing Maurice. They have not been proactive pre-Bonzi Wells and post-Bonzi Wells. So I'm led to infer they have other plans that don't include Maurice."
The Timberwolves, Spurs, Pistons and Sonics all appear interested in Evans.
*Kemp Vows To Play In NBA Again
Shawn Kemp is still only 35 years old and he is committed to returning to the NBA.
"I'm going to play again,'' Kemp says, speaking in depth publicly for the first time since he retired two years ago after a 14-year NBA career. "And if I'm going to play again, there's only one way to do it. The right way. On my own.
*Magic Plan To Keep Francis
This summer many have speculated that Magic guard Steve Francis would be on the move.
However, it appears the Magic want to keep him around.
Francis met with management during a summer league game in Las Vegas last week and they apparently told Francis he is staying put.
"I'd be misleading you if I said, 'I have not received calls from around the league,' people wondering what Steve wanted to do," said Francis' agent, Jeff Fried, who was vacationing in Florida last week. "The interest from other teams was genuine. But Steve likes Orlando. And based on our discussions with the Magic, they like him here.
*Clippers/Cavs Sign-And-Trade Deemed Fictional Rumor
The rumored Marko Jaric sign-and-trade involving the Cavaliers is fictional, a league source said.
The rumored deal had the Los Angeles Clippers signing Jaric and sending him to the Cavaliers, along with power forward Chris Wilcox, in exchange for power forward Drew Gooden.
The source said there's no truth to the rumor.
The Cavaliers are in the market for a point guard and are very interested in the 6-foot-7, 217-pound Jaric. They also don't have the necessary salary-cap space to sign Jaric, who wants a contract starting around $5 million a season. The only way to acquire Jaric would be a sign-and-trade. |
