Big News surrounding Lewis from Rotoworld :

According to the New York Post, the agent for Rashard Lewis may have mishandled the paperwork regarding Lewis' intentions of opting out of the final two years of his deal.

While the Post's Peter Vecsey did not quote anyone in his column who may have first-hand knowledge of what happened, he suggests that Tony Dutt, Lewis' agent, missed the deadline to inform Seattle of his client's decision, a move that would negate Lewis' ability to become a free agent. Vecsey's column is rather speculative, but if this turns out to be factual, it will be huge news for Lewis and Seattle, especially considering it's expected to pick Kevin Durant in the draft, a player who would essentially replace Lewis.
