Blake Griffin - F - Clippers

There is a "90 percent chance" Blake Griffin will sign an extension in the offseason, a source tells Mark Heisler.

Heisler links to a dated story he wrote at the beginning of May, so we're taking this report with a grain of salt. It doesn't take any inside sources to know that the Clippers will do anything possible to sign Griffin to a maximum contract extension, and the club has already said it has committed any resources necessary to make the move.

Kemba Walker - G - Bobcats

Nate McMillan is interviewing for the Bobcats head coach position.

McMillan will be in Charlotte on Monday night and Tuesday morning, and he's arguably the "biggest" coaching name to interview to date. McMillan is known to want another coaching job, and he would be a solid hire for a young team that needs direction in the worst way.

Avery Bradley - G - Celtics

Avery Bradley (shoulder) is not participating in practice on Monday.

Bradley was the only player missing from shootaround and is still considered a game-time call for Game 5. We should have an update on his status before tipoff, but even if Bradley does suit up, he won't be at 100 percent. Ray Allen (ankle) and Mickael Pietrus should each see a bump in minutes.

Daniel Gibson - G - Cavaliers

Daniel Gibson (foot surgery) is expected to be ready for training camp.

Although there are "no guarantees" in regards to him being ready, the assumption is that he'll be without restrictions when training camp rolls around. With Anthony Parker considering retirement, Gibson could be in for an increased role next season.

Luke Harangody - F - Cavaliers

Cavs beat writer Bob Finnan speculates that the team may not give Luke Harangody a qualifying contract offer.

Harangody would be a restricted free agent if the team extends the qualifying offer, but the Cavs may choose to simply let him walk and become an unrestricted free agent.

Adam Morrison - F - Wizards

The Nets are working out 21 players on Monday, including Adam Morrison, Al Thornton and Jermaine Taylor.

Some other interesting names include Julian Wright, Ben Hansbrough, David Harrison and Hilton Armstrong. It will be interesting to see if any of these guys show anything at the workout, but the Nets are just doing this as part of their offseason due diligence.

Chauncey Billups - G - Clippers

Chauncey Billups reiterated that he's not retiring and will consider re-signing with the Clippers.

"I’m definitely going to give this a huge amount of consideration this summer. I feel like we’ve got some unfinished business a little bit," he said when asked about re-signing with the Clippers. He'll draw interest from a number of contenders and is no lock to remain with the Clippers.
