Mike Conley and All-Stars Andre Drummond and DeMar DeRozan are staying put. So are Hassan Whiteside and Nicolas Batum.Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah and many more players are on the move -- and some are getting paid like they never could have imagined.Howard and Noah both returned to their hometowns Friday, with the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks hoping the former Defensive Players of the Year have plenty left to offer.Howard agreed to a three-year deal worth $70.5 million with the Hawks, with the Knicks gave Noah $72 million over four years.Kent Bazemore also re-signed with the Hawks for $70 million over four years, joining players such as Chandler Parsons, Evan Turner and Timofey Mozgov in cashing in 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.And former players couldnt help but be a little jealous.Um.....it might be time for a comeback.........(hash)freeagency, former Miami forward Shane Battier wrote on Twitter.Conley is in a class of his own -- for now- 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 annually beginning with next season, the salary cap thats tied to revenues will soar well beyond its previous record to between $90 million to 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.

MIAMI -- Left-hander Rich Hill made his major league debut against the Marlins, but so much has changed since then.Hill made his debut on June 2015 against a team that was then known as the Florida Marlins.On Saturday, Hill faces the Miami Marlins, and he will do so in the middle of a career year. The 36-year-old was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a five-player deal that the Oakland As completed on Aug. 1.Hill was immediately placed on the disabled list due to a blister issue. But once he got over that, he pitched six scoreless innings in a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants.The big thing is staying in the moment, Hill told the media after that start. I just had to focus on each pitch coming out of my hand.Last Saturday, Hill made his second Dodgers start, and he did not disappoint, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. In the end, Hill struck out eight, allowed just one hit and tossed six scoreless innings.He enters Saturdays game against the Marlins with career numbers for 2016 -- an 11-3 record with a 1.94 ERA.Not bad for a guy who has bounced around to eight different major league organizations, and that does not count two different stints with the Boston Red Sox.Hills career appeared to be over last year, when he was released by the Washington Nationals on June 24. Hill found no takers and signed with an independent minor league team -- the Long Island Ducks -- in order to try to keep his career alive.A couple of weeks later, the Red Sox signed him, and then the As gave him a chance for the 2016 season.Hill, who did not start a single game for five years -- 2010 to 2014 -- is one win away from a career high in victories. His ERA is miles ahead of what he normally does given his career mark of 4.dddddddddddd15.Now comes the Marlins, a team he has only faced twice -- during that rookie relief appearance in 2005 when he allowed two runs in one inning or during an ill-fated start in 2009.Hill is in a much better grove now, and he will look to get the best of Marlins right-hander Tom Koehler, who started this year as Miamis fourth starter but has pitched better than that.In fact, after Jose Fernandez, Koehler has been Miamis second-best starting pitcher. In his past 15 starts, Koehler is 4-4 with a 3.54 ERA.We want TK to keep it going, Fernandez said after he beat the Dodgers 4-1 on Friday night. We need every win we can get.Indeed, the Marlins (70-71) have a modest two-game win streak after a slump that saw them lose 10 of 12 games.Due to that slump, theyre on the fringes of contention for an NL wild-card playoff berth that is shaping up as a battle between the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. As it stands now, two of those three teams will make the playoffs.Meanwhile, the Dodgers (79-61), who had their five-game win streak snapped on Friday, still lead the Giants comfortably in the NL West.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he thinks the fact that three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw came off the disabled list on Friday to face the Marlins -- even in a losing effort -- will pay dividends for his team down the stretch.Its a huge boost to our team, Roberts said. Weve got to take the long view and understand that this was a win for him and for us.
