NEW YORK -- Attention, shoppers! Free agency in the NBA is open, and LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are available. Players and teams could begin negotiating just past midnight EDT on Tuesday morning, though contracts cant be signed until July 10, after next seasons salary cap has been set. James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who joined together in Miami in 2010 and have led the Heat to two championships and four straight NBA Finals, all became free agents. Though many expect that trio to stay with the Heat, Anthony could be persuaded to leave the New York Knicks for a team he believes gives him a better chance to compete for a championship. He was visiting Chicago on Tuesday, and Houston and Dallas also could try to pry the 2012-13 scoring champion away from the Knicks, who can pay him around $30 million more than any team under NBA rules. Longtime stars Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol also are free agents, along with players such as Torontos Kyle Lowry and Indianas Lance Stephenson, who are coming off their best seasons in the league. Its the most anticipated free agency class since 2010, when James led a class that included Wade, Bosh, and other All-Stars such as Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson. That free agency period changed the NBA. This one might mostly change the Heat. They are in need of an upgrade after getting smashed by San Antonio in the finals, and the Big Three could help give them the means to make one if they agree to salaries that wont clog up too much of the cap. Knicks president Phil Jackson hopes Anthony also agrees to take less than a maximum salary, which would be more than $125 million if he stayed in New York. Also in New York, the Brooklyn Nets stagger into free agency without their coach after letting Jason Kidd leave for the Milwaukee Bucks. The teams agreed to a deal Monday, with the Bucks sending two future second-round picks to the Nets, who allowed Kidd to pursue other jobs after denying his request for more power in the organization. Brooklyn has Pierce and Shaun Livingston among its key players who are free agents. The Los Angeles Lakers have plenty of money to offer, along with the chance to play with Kobe Bryant. Teams such as Phoenix and Atlanta have some good pieces in place and enough cap space to add another. They would love a shot at James, as would his home state Cleveland Cavaliers, the team he left in 2010. But its unclear how seriously the four-time MVP will listen to other teams after meeting with six suitors when he was last a free agent. The Cavaliers may not get James back, but they will have their current All-Star for a while. Owner Dan Gilbert wrote on Twitter early Tuesday morning that he had an agreement on a five-year contract extension with Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft. "Looking forward to the next 6 years of Kyrie Irving in CLE. Just shook hands & intend to sign on the 10th," Gilbert wrote, adding that he couldnt be more excited about the Cavs future. Players such as Clevelands Luol Deng and Washingtons Trevor Ariza could be good fallback options for teams who cant get James or Anthony. Fake Jerseys Online .

His pressure-packed preseason ended positively. Hoyer drove Clevelands starting offence to a rare preseason touchdown before turning things over to rookie Johnny Manziel in the Browns 33-13 exhibition win over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. Hoyer and Clevelands offensive starters needed a boost after struggling in the preseason as they learn a new system. Hoyer went 6 of 8 for 69 yards on the opening drive against Chicagos backups before Ben Tate scored on a 1-yard run. For Clevelands first-team offence, it was just the second TD this summer, and even if it came against some players who wont make Chicagos roster, Hoyer will take it. "It was great to get out there and just move right down the field," said Hoyer, who barely beat out Manziel for the starting job. "We said tonight wasnt about them. It was about us. Regardless of whos playing for them -- they were nameless and faceless opponents -- we just wanted to go out and make everything about us. Its good to go down and get in the end zone." Manziel threw a TD pass, finished 6 of 17 for 83 yards, ran for 55 and did some typical Johnny Football improvising. Manziel scrambled around, skipped some passes, fumbled twice and provided some entertaining moments. "Falls into the category of Johnny being Johnny," Pettine said. "A couple of those plays were no, no, no, yes - but thats what he does. Hes certainly shown why he has the reputation that he does." Bears wide receiver Santonio Holmes caught a 32-yard TD pass from rookie David Fales and returned a punt 30. Holmes only signed with the Bears on Aug. 16. Browns undrafted rookie running back Isaiah Crowell had a 48-yard TD and finished with 102. Billy Cundiff made four field goals for the Browns (1-3). Pettine had little choice but to play his starters in the fourth preseason game following a horrific performance in a loss to St. Louis. Hoyer and Clevelands offence were desperate for a positive of any kind with the season opener against Pittsburgh just 10 days away. And the first units 13-play, 85-yard march was something to build upon. "It just shows us what were capable of, and thats whats been the frustrating part this preseason," Hoyer said.dddddddddddd "To go out there and just do it against a different team is important. Its a good feeling heading out of the preseason." On Wednesday, the Browns learned theyll be without Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon, suspended for the season for another violation of the NFLs substance-abuse policy. Cleveland loses its best player and only deep threat. The Browns could be forced to trade for a wide receiver. But Nate Burleson should help. He played for the first time in the preseason and caught a 27-yarder from Manziel, who danced around in the backfield and dodged several Bears before throwing a strike to Burleson. That play set up Manziels 1-yard toss to tight end Jim Dray. Bears coach Marc Trestman rested starting quarterback Jay Cutler and backup Jimmy Clausen, giving Fales, a sixth-round pick from San Jose State, a chance to convince the Bears they should carry three QBs. Fales made a good case for himself, finishing 13 of 24 for 146 yards. Holmes is trying to catch on with the Bears after four turbulent seasons with the Jets. He was released in March following two sub-par, injury-plagued seasons. The 2009 Super Bowl MVP with Pittsburgh hasnt played a complete season since 2011, and made just 43 receptions in the past two seasons. Holmes, 30, showed hes still got some breakaway speed on his TD grab. He hauled in a short pass from Fales, spun away from rookie cornerback Justin Gilbert and scampered into the end zone untouched for a 10-7 lead. "You see the explosion in him," Trestman said. "He caught a short throw, turned and ran, separated from the defence. Thats a good sign." Bears rookie running back Jordan Lynch, a star quarterback at Northern Illinois, had 18 yards on six carries. Hes a long shot to make Chicagos 53-man roster. NOTES: QB Rex Grossman made his debut for Cleveland and completed 4 of 8 passes for 80 yards. Grossman has experience in co-ordinator Kyle Shanahans offence and it showed. ... Browns LB Barkevious Mingo had a sack and should have had two. ' ' '" Wittman said. "Where that takes us I dont know.
