PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)—Now that NBA owners and players have reached a tentative labor agreement, the Portland Trail Blazers need to resume their search for a general manager.

If the lockout-ending deal struck early Saturday in New York is formally approved by both sides, the league will play a 66-game season beginning Dec 25. Training camps and free agency would open on Dec. 9.

“Glad to be back!” Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge(notes), the team’s player representative, tweeted Saturday
MIAMI (AP)—Free Agency 2011 will be nowhere near as celebrated for the Miami Heat as the player-movement bonanza that brought LeBron James(notes), Chris Bosh(notes) and Dwyane Wade(notes) together a year ago.

It still carries massive importance.

James, Wade, Bosh, Mike Miller(notes) and Udonis Haslem(notes) are still under contract, meaning the core remains intact. Point guard Mario Chalmers(notes)—who came up big during the NBA finals—is a restricted free agent, though he clearly has an eye on being back in Miami. And rookie point guard Norris Cole(notes) figures to contend for some rotation time.
