    • Lewis will likely return to the Heat for the 2013-14 season, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
      Recommendation: Lewis is not 100 percent, but if the Heat indeed finish off the Spurs in Game 7 of the finals Thursday, he could hang up the sneakers a champion for the first (and last) time. He has appeared in just 11 of Miami's 22 playoff tilts, averaging 1.5 points (on 40 percent shooting), while missing each of his four three-point attempts, in 4.2 minutes. If he does return for a 16th NBA season, he may find it difficult to earn much more run than the 14.6 minutes he received nightly during this past regular season.

    • Taylor will take part in the Las Vegas Summer League, which starts on July 12, the Charlotte Observer reports.
      Recommendation: During the 2012 draft, Taylor was selected with the first pick of the second round but still managed to take the court for 19.6 minutes per outing. Overall, he averaged 6.1 points (on 43.1 percent shooting), 1.9 rebounds, and 0.8 assists, while knocking down 53 treys in 77 games. With more work on his outside game, he could become a viable threat in that aspect of fantasy as his career carries on, but his line otherwise is not very appealing.

    • Andersen will likely be back in the Heat's rotation for Tuesday's Game 6 against the Spurs, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
      Recommendation: During the first three games of the series, Andersen averaged 12.7 minutes nightly, but coach Erik Spoelstra trotted out small-ball lineups in each of the past two contests, which have kept him glued to the bench. Andersen's energy in the frontcourt has been quite valuable during Miami's playoff run, as he has tallied six points, 2.3 boards, and 0.7 blocks per tilt when he has taken the court in the series.

    • Hansbrough finished the 2012-13 season averaging 7.0 points (43.2 percent from the floor and 72 percent at the foul line) with 4.6 rebounds in a career-low 16.9 minutes.
      Recommendation: Hansbrough experienced a further drop in playing time during the 19-game playoff run, as the team's weak bench was a non-factor in the postseason. He appears to have become less important to the team's rotation than he had been the past few years, but still, we expect the Pacers to extend a qualifying offer to Hansbrough and retain him for another season.

    • Jerebko is encouraged by the recent signing of new head coach Maurice Cheeks, MLive.com reports.
      Recommendation: It was an open secret that Jerebko and former Pistons coach Lawrence Frank did not see eye to eye, which helps explain his reduced role in two seasons under Frank's direction. In 2012-13, Jerebko posted career lows in points (7.7), rebounds (3.8), field-goal percentage (44.9), and minutes (18.1). Moreover, he only appeared in 49 of 82 contests, after missing two games combined in his first two campaigns in Detroit, so a change of scheme could invigorate the mindset and production of the hybrid forward.

    • Tolliver provided solid interior defense and rebounding off the bench for the Hawks this season.
      Recommendation: In his fifth NBA season, Tolliver averaged 4.1 points and 2.5 assists in 15.5 minutes per game. He appeared in 62 games, starting 11, when Al Horford or Zaza Pachulia were out of the lineup. The 28-year-old is a very versatile defender, as his combination of size and strength enables him to guard multiple positions. He is still very much a work in progress offensively, however, and has a tendency to float to the perimeter, as evidenced by the fact that he attempted nearly three times as many 3-pointers than free throws in 2012-13. Tolliver is an unrestricted free agent this summer and will almost certainly be a target for several teams. He's played for five franchises in five seasons and, depending on Atlanta's potentially tight cap situation should they acquire Dwight Howard and/or Chris Paul, Tolliver could be suiting up for his sixth tea! m next season.

    • Petro averaged 3.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in just 31 games this season - his first with the Hawks.
      Recommendation: The 27-year-old primarily served as a post defender, as his offensive game remains largely unpolished. He's an active rebounder when given the opportunity but rarely logged enough minutes to make a significant fantasy impact. His three-year, $10 million deal expires this offseason and it is very unlikely that he'll be in a Hawks uniform next season. However, a team in need of a veteran, end-of-the-bench big man will likely give Petro a shot for a much cheaper contract.

    • Scott averaged 4.6 points on 47.6 percent shooting in 40 games for the Hawks in his first NBA season.
      Recommendation: The rookie second-rounder out of Virginia played a very minor role this season, often appearing near the end of blowout contests. However, at the end of the regular season when the team was resting starters, Scott put up some impressive lines - including two consecutive double-doubles, punctuated by a 23-point, 14-rebound performance in the season finale. At 6-foot-8 with marginal athleticism, he's a bit undersized for the power forward position and his contract for next season is non-guaranteed, meaning his spot on the roster could be in jeopardy. He'll need to perform well at the Las Vegas Summer League to impress new coach Mike Bundenholzer, but he'll likely receive some looks from other teams should the Hawks opt to go in a different direction.

    • Johnson averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes for the Hawks this season.
      Recommendation: In his second season with the team, Johnson put up nearly identical numbers to those he posted in 2011-12. He, along with Anthony Tolliver, served as a versatile defender off the bench. Unlike Tolliver, however, Johnson thrived more in the interior and was often able to draw contact from opposing defenders. The 29-year-old is a restricted free agent this offseason, and his fate with the team likely will not be decided until later in the summer, as the Hawks appear to be in play for a number of big free agents.

    • Hill (hip) is expected to be fully functional by the start of the season, Lakers.com reports.
      Recommendation: This is not surprising news, as Hill has had several months to recover. He may see rotational minutes next season, as the Lakers are thin in the frontcourt off the bench.

    • Radmanovic intends to play in the NBA next season, the Wasserman Media Group reports.
      Recommendation: While not the greatest of sources, the middling wing presence will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but considering he's coming off his least productive season -- 1.3 points (on 30.2 percent shooting) and 1.1 boards in 5.7 minutes per game across 25 contests -- he may have to resort to playing professionally in Europe or elsewhere, if basketball is indeed in his future.
