Good afternoon.

NBA free agency is T-minus six hours and counting.

Here’s the latest, starting with this Jimmy Butler tweet:

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I’m not sure, but Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted last night that Jimmy is meeting with the Heat in South Beach today. Woj also notes that a Butler/Houston meeting will take place early in the week in Los Angeles while the Sixers “haven’t ruled out working with Butler on sign and trades.” That’s the only way Miami and Houston can afford Jimmy because of cap reasons. In that instance, the Sixers would at least get something back if he walked.


Josh Richardson anybody? Eric Gordon? Bam Adebayo as a Joel Embiid backup?

There was also this from Associated Press writer Tim Reynolds, after the jump:

Hmm… well those nights don’t happen too frequently in Miami. After LeBron left, that arena was half empty on most nights. If Jimmy wants to play in front of a real blue collar, hard working and loyal fan base, he should stay here.

As far as Tobias Harris, he tweeted this today:

Very cryptic!

Does that mean Tobias wants to win? Is the “purpose” to win a title? I’m higher on Tobias than most people are, or at least it seems that way. 6’9″, 26-year-old stretch fours don’t grow on trees! I “personally believe,” as Miss Teen South Carolina once said, that Tobias has a lot more to give to the Sixers. We didn’t see the best of him last year.

Woj earlier said that Tobias “remains a focus for that organization,” referring to the Sixers of course.

A couple of other notes:

More to come!
