[b]CHICAGO BULLS: Sources said the Bulls and Cavaliers also
inquired about Elton Brand early in free agency. “He’s still
very effective in the low post,’’ Panzanaro said. “He can score
down there. I don’t think they need him to be a jump-shooter.
They need him to rebound.’’
Cleveland Cavaliers: While he considers a two-year offer from
Cleveland, Andrew Bynum is meeting with Hawks officials in
Atlanta on Tuesday and expects to make a decision later in the
day, league sources told CBSSports.com. "There should be a deal
today," said a person familiar with the negotiations. Bynum, 25,
missed the entire 2012-13 season with knee injuries after he was
traded to Philadelphia as part of the four-team deal that sent
Dwight Howard from the Magic to the Lakers. With Howard choosing
to sign with the Houston Rockets and Andre Iguodala going to
Golden State, Bynum will become the third key participant in the
Howard trade to change teams in less than 12 months.
Detroit Pistons: Gigi Datome announced on Facebook that he has
signed a contract with the Detroit Pistons. Datome comes from
Virtus Roma
Indiana Pacers: Larry Bird: “I feel better. I had some injuries
and mentally I felt better. It was nine-straight years. Donnie
felt like he wanted to come back and I didn’t know if I was
going to come back this year. They continued to call, leave
messages, I spoke to the owner and Donnie [Walsh] numerous times
and if you’re going to do it better do it now because it’s not
going to get any easier down the road.
Milwaukee Bucks: Marc Stein: As state for days, Bucks want Jeff
Teague. That's undeniable. Still TBD: Are Hawks ready to take
back Jennings OR Monta in sign-and-trade?

[b]CHICAGO BULLS: The Chicago Bulls announced today the signing
of 2013 NBA draft picks Tony Snell (20th overall) and Erik
Murphy (49th overall). Per team policy, terms of the contracts
were not disclosed. Snell, a 6-7, 200-pound guard out of the
University of New Mexico, joins the Bulls after wrapping up a
three-year collegiate career with the Lobos. A native of
Riverside, Calif., Snell appeared in 104 games (77 starts) where
he averaged 9.2 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.0 apg and 0.50 spg in 24.8 mpg.
He also shot .421 from the field, .380 from behind the arc and
.821 from the line.
Cleveland Cavaliers: New coach Mike Brown played a huge role in
Bynum’s return, according to a second league source. Bynum
averaged career-best numbers of 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds
while playing under Brown for the Los Angeles Lakers two years
ago.
Detroit Pistons: Nearly a decade after resurrecting the
franchise and leading it to an NBA championship, Chauncey
Billups has reached agreement on a two-year contract to return
to the Detroit Pistons, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The
deal will be worth $5 million-plus for Billups, league sources
said.
Indiana Pacers: The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday they
have re-signed veteran free agent and two-time NBA All-Star
David West to a contract.
Milwaukee Bucks: Bucks first-round draft choice Giannis
Antetokounmpo led Greece to its second straight victory in the
Under-20 European Championship on Thursday in Tallinn, Estonia.
The 6-foot-9 forward finished with a team-high 20 points as
Greece defeated Germany, 65-56, in Group A competition. Greece
will play Georgia on Friday. Antetokounmpo helped seal the
victory by scoring four points in the final 11 seconds, all
coming at the free throw line. He sank two foul shots for a
63-56 lead, then blocked a shot and grabbed a defensive rebound.

CHICAGO BULLS: The Bulls, Clippers, Grizzlies and Bobcats have
all showed interest in the 37-year-old free agent Antawn
Jamison, who believes he has a couple more years left of
competing at a high level. "I think last year, getting the
opportunity to play for the Lakers and their organization, I
really jumped into it," Jamison said. "Didn't really view my
options, but this year I really want to make sure I'm going to
the right situation, where I have a good rapport with the
coaching staff and also with management I'm able to communicate
and get an understanding of what they want from me.
Cleveland Cavaliers: What's one G-rated or PG-rated story about
an athlete that you've heard but haven't had an opportunity to
share? Shawn Kemp was late for a flight back in his Cleveland
days, as he often was. He was beginning to run out of excuses.
The one he gave the Cavs this time was, "My dog fell asleep in
front of my car and I had to wait until he woke up." No shit.
Poor Randy Wittman was the coach and he just took it. That's
when we knew Randy was in big trouble. He was a rookie coach and
Kemp worked him over. It actually said a lot about a bunch of
things that were going on with the team at the time. Kemp was
losing control of his life and Randy was overwhelmed. The best
thing Jim Paxson did was find a way to hoist Kemp on Portland,
which set it up for the Cavs to eventually get LeBron.
Detroit Pistons: Brandon Jennings will be sign-and-traded and
will ink a three-year, $25 million U.S. contract. The Compton,
Cal. native was in town at the behest of good friend and fellow
L.A. NBAer Amir Johnson, of the Raptors for the OVO Bounce
Tournament at Ryerson's Kerr Hall. Jennings declined to say
much, saying he wants to "stay under the radar for now," but did
admit "I'm happy" about the trade.
Indiana Pacers: Despite having an outstanding season, there’s
been a lot of speculation you may go back to coming off the
bench this season, especially if Danny Granger is healthy and
ready. Would you be OK with that? Lance Stephenson: I’m just
coming in to play hard. Whatever coach (Frank Vogel) decides to
do, I think it’s a great decision. Me coming off the bench,
Danny coming off the bench, either way, we’re deep. Whatever
helps the team, that’s what I want to do.
Milwaukee Bucks: The drawn-out saga of restricted free agent
guard Brandon Jennings ended Tuesday, as the Milwaukee Bucks
agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Detroit Pistons to send
Jennings there in exchange for guard Brandon Knight and forwards
Khris Middleton and Slava Kravtsov.
