Mike Conley and All-Stars Andre Drummond and DeMar DeRozan are staying put. Hirving Lozano Mexico Jersey . So are Hassan Whiteside and Nicolas Batum.Many more players are on the move -- and some are getting paid like they never could have imagined.Chandler Parsons, Evan Turner and Timofey Mozgov were among the players cashing in Friday during the first day of free agency -- and really, of a new era -- in the NBA.With revenues rising and the salary cap soaring right along with it, good players were being paid like All-Stars, while All-Stars were getting contracts that used to go only to superstars.Conley is in a class of his own after agreeing to a $153 million, five-year deal to remain in Memphis, the biggest deal handed out yet.And the players at the top of the class havent even started agreeing to deals yet. Kevin Durant and Al Horford probably cant wait to see what they get after watching what lesser players on the market have already received.For example:Parsons -- four years, $94 million from Memphis.Turner -- four years, $70 million from Portland.Mozgov -- four years, $64 million from the Lakers.Their timing was even better than their play, as they became free agents at the ideal moment. With the NBAs national TV contracts worth more than $2.6 billion beginning with next season, the salary cap thats tied to revenues will soar well beyond its previous record to between $90 million-95 million.Some players didnt have to wait long to claim their share of it.Drummonds five-year maximum contract to stay in Detroit will be worth $130 million, just a share more than the $128 million Bradley Beal got to remain in Washington. DeRozan will do a little better in Toronto and Charlotte kept Batum for about $120 million.But the Hornets lost a couple of key players from their 48-win team, as Jeremy Lin got a three-year, $36 million contract from Brooklyn, and the Pacers lured Al Jefferson to Indiana with a three-year, $30 million contract.None of the contracts can be signed until July 7, after next seasons salary cap is set and the moratorium is lifted.Missing out on the money was O.J. Mayo, the former No. 3 overall pick who finished last season in Milwaukee and was a free agent. But he was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on Friday for violating the terms of the leagues anti-drug program, the first player to receive that punishment in a decade. He will be eligible to apply for reinstatement in two years.His old team was busy, as the Bucks agreed to terms with free agent shooter Mirza Teletovic on a three-year deal worth $30 million, and also agreed to terms on a four-year, $38.4 million offer sheet with restricted free agent Matthew Dellavedova. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the option to match that deal.Durant had his first discussions with another team, meeting with the Golden State Warriors. He met with his Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, before free agency opened, as the former NBA MVP decides whether to remain with the franchise that selected him with the No. 2 pick in 2007.The other MVP available is LeBron James, who opted to become a free agent. But he said last week he intends to return to Cleveland to defend the citys first championship in 52 years.The Cavaliers biggest decision could be what to do with free agent forward J.R. Smith, whose 3-point shooting -- and defense -- helped Cleveland rally to beat Golden State in the finals. Smith fits in well with Cleveland because he follows James lead and hes embraced a stoppers role given to him by coach Tyronn Lue.---AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report. Jesus Duenas Mexico Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Marco Fabian Mexico Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. http://www.nationalsoccermexico.com/javier-aquino-mexico-jersey/ . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Duke has been picked to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title ahead of North Carolina, Virginia and Louisville.Blue Devils guard Grayson Allen was selected the preseason player of the year by a wide margin over Clemson forward Jaron Blossomgame, while North Carolina State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. was voted rookie of the year.Mike Krzyzewskis Blue Devils picked up 85 first-place votes and 1,359 points in voting by league media at the leagues preseason media day Wednesday. Defending champion UNC had the other six first-place votes.Syracuse was fifth followed by N.C. State, Notre Dame, Florida State, Miami, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Boston College.UNCs Joel Berry II and Virginias LLondon Perrantes joined Allen, Blossomgame and Smith on the preseason all-ACC first team. Rafael Marquez Jersey. The second team consisted of UNCs Justin Jackson, Dukes Jayson Tatum, Syracuses Tyler Lydon, FSUs Dwayne Bacon and Pitts Michael Young.Duke won the NCAA championship in 2015 and reached the Sweet 16 of last years NCAA Tournament, part of a record run of six ACC teams to reach that round. North Carolina and Syracuse both reached the Final Four, with the Tar Heels losing to Villanova on a last-second 3-pointer in the NCAA championship game.The Tar Heels swept the leagues regular-season and tournament titles last year.
