NBA free agency is here, and there have already been several moves in the first two days. With the cap rising, players are landing lucrative deals, especially compared to previous seasons. Many big names have already signed, although Kevin Durant has yet to make his decision. The rumor mill is buzzing with meetings and contracts, and we're here to get you caught up on what's happened so far. Here are all the latest NBA rumors and news you need to know.
Kevin Durant Decision Coming Soon?
Durant has met with the Celtics, Warriors, Spurs, Thunder and Clippers already, with the Heat on tap for Sunday. Durant will meet with the Thunder again today. He's expecting to make a decision soon.
Kevin Durant has told clubs he is meeting with that his decision will be made within the next 24-36 hours, according to league sources.

One team Durant won't be joining is the Clippers. That was made clear by their moves to re-sign their own free agents, but he's informed them they're out of the running.
New Team In Mix For Gasol?
The Spurs, Trail Blazers and Timberwolves were already known to have interest in Pau Gasol, but a fourth team has now joined the mix.
ESPN sources say Toronto has emerged as another Pau Gasol suitor, but Gasol could well opt to delay his decision until after Kevin Durant's.

The Raptors lost Bismack Biyombo to the Magic, and could play Gasol at PF if needed as well. The Spurs have been the favorite to land Gasol, but might not be able to afford him if they land Durant.
Potential Rudy Gay Trade?
The Indiana Pacers already swung trades for Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young, but they aren't done trying to make moves. They're reportedly trying to land Rudy Gay.
ESPN sources say Sacramento and Indiana have had recent trade discussions involving Kings F Rudy Gay potentially sending him to the Pacers

The Kings reportedly want Monta Ellis, while the Pacers want to give up another player instead.
Sacramento still has interest in Monta Ellis -- its top free-agent target last summer -- but Indy is said to prefer dealing Rodney Stuckey.

However, after confirming Stein's report, Sam Amick of the USA Today reports the Kings actually don't want Ellis or Stuckey. With Amick and Stein presenting conflicting reports, it's tough to determine how much legitimacy a Gay-to-Pacers trade has.
Jamal Crawford Update
With the Clippers out on Durant, they'll work on keeping Crawford. However, their first offer was disappointing to Crawford. The Clippers are far from the only team after Crawford.
GS, Dallas, Philadelphia, Orlando, Miami and Brooklyn have talked to Jamal Crawford but Clippers are still optimistic they can re-sign him.

In addition to those teams, the Wizards have talked with Crawford. The Cavs have interest, but money will be an issue.
