We know all the rumors...but where does it look like the big three will go? What teams are going to be making big signings? Which players fit where?

Lebron filed the paperwork this week to change his number next season from #23 to #6. Could it be because he's going to Chicago where #23 isn't avaliable???

Read on ESPN Insider that Joe Johnson to the Knicks appears to be a 'done deal' behind closed doors. The two GMs basically have a 'wink-wink' deal for this to happen as soon as the season is over. Insider also said that it appears likely for the Knicks and Raptors to pull of a sign-and-trade for Bosh-Lee.

There's no way. The NBA would be doing a major investigation if there was even a scent of this going on.

And what is the Atlanta GM agreeing too? There's no trade there. Johnson is an unrestricted FA, so once he officially becomes a FA he's free to sign anywhere he pleases. There's nothing to agree to if your the Atlanta GM. That article is nothing but hogwash. There's nothing believable there.

ESPN Insider: Johnson to Knicks a done deal?

Earlier this week, we talked about how Joe Johnson's agent, Arm Tellem, could influence his client's decision in free agency this summer.

And in that same note, we provided quotes from Johnson saying even though he's from a small town, he could see himself in a big city like New York.

Now here's the latest wrinkle from Frank Isola of the New York Daily News: Tellem, Johnson and the Knicks may already have an under-the-table agreement in place for Johnson to sign with New York in the offseason.

Writes Isola: "There is a growing sentiment among opposing team executives that at the very least the Knicks will sign Atlanta's Joe Johnson, whose agent, Arn Tellem, orchestrated the Tracy McGrady trade to the Knicks and has been friends with Walsh for 20 years. It's called a 'wink-wink deal,' and even though it is against NBA rules, the practice does exist and is nearly impossible to police. 'I think that's a done deal,' said one Eastern Conference GM."

If this is the case, take Dwyane Wade -- who was a long-shot for New York in the first place -- off the Knicks' list, as two free-agent shooting guards doesn't make a ton of sense.

I meant his agent, not Atlanta GM

We'll see, I don't see the Knicks agreeing to anything before they do their research finding out what's going to happen with Wade, LeBron, Stoudemire and Bosh first.

As much as I don't want to admit it, I really don't see Lebron or Wade coming to the Knicks, move doesn't make sense for either of them. Best case scenario is that I see the Knicks getting Bosh and Johnson and scoring a solid draft pick that doesn't blow and can make an immediate impact...maybe even another big free agent after next season. Ah fuck I want Lebron...

Free agents discussing their moves together...not sure what any of this implies...maybe they'll all play for the Knicks for free...
