So do they become unrestricted by not signing? If you don't need to sign the qualifying offer to remain a free agent, what's the point of extending it?

Oh man, I hate the idea of trying to read parts of the CBA again.

As long as the team presents them with qualifying offer they remain restricted. If players don't sign it, it doesn't change their status.

WARRIORS / Nelson gives Harrington a D for 'dominant'

Al Harrington has been so impressive through the first four days of training camp, Nelson has dared to utter the D-word again.
"Al's been the best player here," Nelson said. "He's been dominant."
A sleeker Harrington showed up to camp this year with a giant self-portrait tattooed on his back and a chip on his shoulder that's nearly as large.
Harrington, who was demoted during the playoffs after starting at both power forward and center, has heard enough about his poor rebounding and conditioning.
"I feel like I got a lot to prove this year," Harrington said. "That's why every day, I'm coming in focused."

HOOPSWORLD | NBA News, Rumors and Information

Teams with stability usually don't stir up a lot of questions, which is why training camp coverage of the Chicago Bulls has been pretty tame so far. Sure, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng are up for contract extensions and Ben Wallace gets to wear his headband again, but there's no real drama about injuries, or camp holdouts, or some disgruntled, peed-off vet who spent his entire summer demanding a trade that never came.

But no situation is a utopia, and the Bulls do in fact have one major issue that they'll have to address in the next few weeks: Who's going to start at power forward?

Other than Mumtoumbo and Maxiel, the rest of the signings look like they were added just to have enough guys to play against in camp. None will make the final roster, but I guess they all will get a paycheck for a month....

Cleaves might make it in NJ.

It depends on how much his outside shooting has improved.

Coach Doesn't Like Magic's Effort | TheLedger.com

Navarro looks like he had a nice game.

Miller should be a lot more confident this year after playing with the USA team.

Overall, should be a completely different season for Memphis. Their success will depend on how well the coach can make everything mesh.

TheStar.com | Sports | Delfino quiet but productive

"In Detroit, even if I was part of the team and I was great with the chemistry of the team, I never found my role in all those years. Some weeks I never played, for months I would play and then (it was) back to the bench watching games and you never get yourself in a role."

Delfino's role with Toronto is yet to be fully defined but it will be more substantial than the one he had with the Pistons. Even if he doesn't end up starting, he's going to be a key part of the rotation because he's a big guard (6-foot-6) with good shooting range and he has ball-handling skills that will allow some of the offence to run through him.

NBA Futures Betting: 2007-08 Spurs Preview - BetUS Sportsbook

There is no doubt that the San Antonio Spurs are the best run organization in the NBA. In fact, they are probably the best run organization in all of sports. Not only do they win championships, but they make money too. That’s difficult to do in today’s sports’ world where free agency is the norm.
Of course, being a well-run organization, even the best run organization in the NBA does not guarantee a championship every year. The Spurs definitely win more than most other NBA teams, but their chances of winning the championship in the 2007 – 2008 season, like all NBA teams, must be looked at based on the overall strength of the Spurs as opposed to other teams in the NBA.

Riley wants O'Neal to play soon

"That's the tough thing for me. You want to have all your troops on deck. You need everybody in there together," Riley said. "If I had everybody healthy, you'd have a mix and match."

O'Neal said this is a good opportunity for a young player like Wright to assert himself in Riley's mind. But he won't have much opportunity to play with the starters, though O'Neal said he is open to Riley playing him today.

"I'm here. I'm ready to go, so whatever," O'Neal said.
