Sources has been active in bringing you the latest and up-to-date news that we hear. We've just updated again.

A reported 9 teams offered big man Shawn Bradley the max contract. That's the most among all RFA, even bypassing fellow big man Chris Webber.

.

[Sources]

After a slow start, PG Nick Van Exel received 5 max bids; there are concerns that after the current crop of great PGs retire there will be a dearth of talent at the position and are trying to prepare now for that day. He's slowly growing into an elite PG in the league.

Sources from earlier have confirmed to me that Toni has indeed received a max deal. How reliable is the source is the question.

Confirmed

[Sources]

Ervin Johnson has signed a qualifying tender and says his heart is no longer in LA; no word on if the Lakers will match.

.

[Sources]

Did I hear that right? Terry Dehere got NO outside bids from other teams this RFA.

[Sources]

Craziest bid? Hearing Ervin johnson pulled in a yearly salary which is slightly below his ppg total last year.

.

[Sources]

Despite only receiving a couple of max offers, Isiah Rider finished with the 4th highest salary average behind Penny, Webber, and Bradley. Some teams weren't that sure with Rider's current growth and a small decline in production.

Vin Baker was reportedly seen looking at housing in the Northeast and Southeast this week in his brand new BMW.

The Utah Jazz are the biggest spenders on average per contract handed out, with an average contract of $6,749,313. With #1 pick Tim Duncan coming in it's apparent the Jazz are looking for immediate contributors to pair along with Duncan.
