LeBron Giving Cleveland One Last Chance?
LeBron has not officially announced anything but sources say he is planning to accept his player option. He is losing out on a big pay day but he does not want to get locked up long term with the Cavaliers.

After a disappointing end to the playoffs James will likely give the Cav's one last chance to make something happen. Sources say if there is not great improvement then it is likely he will be headed out. Its too early to say where he may go but the Big Three reforming in Miami is a possibility.

Another option is potentially teaming up and making the super team that LeBron talked about a few months ago. If the Knicks play their cards right they could have enough cap space to bring in both LeBron and CP3 next Summer.

Time will tell what happens but one thing is for sure, this is going to be a big season for the Cavaliers, and an even bigger season for any team that hopes to lure LeBron.

Hawks Shopping Paul Millsap & Jeff Teague Around
The Hawks who expect to lose Al Horford to free agency this year are apparently now taking calls for both Horford and veteran point guard Jeff Teague. The Hawks are reportedly looking for either a package of picks or picks and young players as they look to start rebuilding.

The Hawks have received calls from the Houston Rockets, and the Cleveland Cavaliers among others. No move is expected to be made until after free agency as Atlanta hopes to draw in a free agent.

Rockets/Grizzlies & Rockets/Kings Finalize Trades
The Houston Rockets have been busy so far today as they have made 2 trades already prior to the draft. Corey Brewer along with the 43rd pick in the draft have been traded for Omri Casspi.

The Rockets have also made a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies sending K.J. McDaniels and Sam Dekker to the Grizzlies for Tony Allen. Dekker missed all of the 2015-16 season to a back injury but is expected to play this year. McDaniels showed flashes of being a athletic defender in his limited playing time this year.
