Early impressions

Things I learned during the first day of the NBA's free agent negotiating period:

Mike D'Antoni is happy that he can say "LeBron!" without tampering.

Mikhail Prokhorov is going to become my favorite owner and James Dolan is none too happy about it.

Robert Sarver is still a cheapskate who continues to try and destroy basketball in Phoenix.

Pat Riley really wants to win.

Phil Jackson is coming back to have one last stand, sort of like he did in 1998.

Byron Scott is going to coach the Cavaliers.

LeBron, D-Wade and Chris Bosh aren't the only members of the famed 2003 lottery that are cashing in this summer.

Rolling over in a playoff sweep is apparently worth $120 million to Atlanta.

With some of the deals being handed out, the NBA players association is going to have a pretty nice case when the owners cry poor next summer.
