Shaq, T-Mac and Ray Allen. Where will they go?
The Chicago Bulls and the Indiana Pacers. How will these two teams revamp their rosters?
These are some of the big questions of the coming months in the NBA, an off-season that is rich with free agents and promises to be rife with intrigue and player movement.
The article also discusses the impending labor discussions. With indicators of popularity and revenues on the rise again, the NBA owners still want to roll back player salaries. But one official is confident that no obstacle will be too big this time around: "This isn't the NHL," said one league source. "I still think we'll get it done."
The two sides will talk throughout the month of July.

The Pacers Al Harrington has been an often rumored player to be moved. In his exit interview, he reportedly asked to be traded to a team where his role would expand. Harrington is only 24 years old and could instantly become a second scorer, even on a playoff team. The most logical fit for Harrington would likely be Cleveland. Harrington would fit nicely with Lebron James and Carlos Boozer and the Cavs would send the recently drafted wingman from Oregon, Luke Jackson, who Larry Bird is very high on.
