So no one has any predictions where the stars will land prior to the start of FA?

Spoiler:

Four teams with that kind of money should make for a very interesting free agency.

Oh and we're not gonna talk about this potential back court in the East?

No reason to talk about it unless Ant Man gets traded to the team that secures that other guy in the pic

Ok, I think I'm done bugging other GMs to either clear cap space, or avoid needing it altogether. But my lines are still open.

It's my first FA period here and I'm fascinated to see how things shake out this weekend.

Free agency officially begins at midnight tonight. At midnight, teams can officially begin submitting their FA bids. Only one PM per team with as many offers as you'd like per PM. Remember that all bids are binding and if you lead a bid on a lower prioritized player, you cannot get out of that offer and it may effect your top priorities. Be strategic in how you bid. The initial bidding window will run until 6PM tomorrow evening. Teams can submit their initial bids at any time during that 18 hour timeframe. Please make sure that you label your PM's.

Beginning at midnight, no GM can name drop, show images of or in any other way promote a player who is a current FA. I will be out most of the night but will try to check in to answer any last minute questions. Good luck to all teams!

Allstar and most likely 4 star player Tyler Herro 28/1 available for a big man

Rumors are swirling behind the scenes, Hornets GM getting antsy after each PM directed his way and is growing less confident in their original bids drafted. Hornets brass have reconvened to shift/revise bids intended to be submitted. GMs who once thought their bird right players were safe from a Hornets bid may be surprised
