After a flurry of signings in the last week, expect things to slow down a little as teams pick over the remaining players, who either don’t have the reputations of the early signees or have taken a tough negotiating stance with their current team. One example is Chris Wilcox, a restricted free agent who wants a deal in the neighborhood of Nene’s 6-year/$60 M contract. Who can blame him? Nene is a career 10/6 guy, while Wilcox averaged better than 14/8 over the last half of the season as a starter in Seattle. The Bulls are one of nine teams that are rumored to be interested, and a lineup of Hinrich, Gordon, Deng/Nocioni, Wilcox and Wallace would be formidable indeed. The Sonics should see if they can wrest Luol Deng from the Bulls in exchange for Wilcox. He’d be a nice compliment to Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis…The Kings offered Bonzi Wells a five year deal worth approximately $36 M, but that’s actually a pay cut from what Wells made last year, and he wants a raise…The Mike James to the Rockets rumor is not a done deal and it appears that Minnsota is making a strong bid for the point guard. I think that James will end up in Houston after it’s all said and done…Marcus Banks hasn’t spoken about his free agent status, and the Timberwolves may be waiting to see what happens with James before dealing with Banks. Though unproven, Banks is one of the better values in the free agent market, and will only command $3 – $5 M a year, due to the oversupply of point guards.
