Salary Cap Day Updates
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog — ... Bynum signed with the Boston Celtics prior to the 2005-2006 season, but was waived shortly before the season opener. He will be remembered by Celtics fans because of the incident in Chicago that landed Tony Allen in legal trouble as they were celebrating Bynum's signing with the Celtics. If Bynum plays well this summer, he has a good chance of entering training camp as the team's No. 3 point guard behind Chauncey Billups and Rodney Stuckey. But then again, Detroit News mentions that the Warriors have been trying to unload Al Harrington (two years left worth about $20 million) ...

First Cup: Tuesday
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — ... Chris McCosky of The Detroit News: "Lateral moves or worse have pretty much been all he has been offered for his four core players thus far. And Joe Dumars has made it clear he's not interested in making lateral moves. Unless something much bolder comes out of the blue, it is becoming more and more likely that the core group will return for one more run. As for free agents, James Jones, the swing man from Portland, seems like the most probable signee. What I didn't realize at first, though, was he opted to leave $3.1 million on the table to get out of ...
