Nothing on Eric Gordon. Nothing on Jerami Grant. Nothing on Harrison Barnes. Nothing from the Lakers. The Heat haven’t used the first-round pick they unlocked yesterday. The Thunder are still $20 million below the salary floor.
Still plenty left that could happen today. – 2:05 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
