Ish was in Philly so that's not a re-sign

OJ Mayo had been disqualified by the NBA. He can apply for reinstatement in 2 years.

[Mat0369]

Jefferson to the Pacers

Apparently the Kings want Waiters. I hope that's true because it's a double win for Philly. 1. No Waiters. 2. Philly have the pick swap and an unprotected pick coming.

Mozgov got 64m :o

[Jay]

Dwight to the Hawks!!! :o

Good news for my Al Horford hopes ;)

[jvalles69]

Dwight going to Atlanta, 70mill over 3 years, means Horford will end up at Boston or OKC more likely.
Delly on a big deal to Milwaukee Bucks.
Rondo rumoured to be on his way to Chicago, with a Bulls sticker on his iPad?!  :o  This could work for the bulls if Rondo can get back to his best.

Conley looking to stay with Memphis.
Parsons to Memphis.
Evan Turner to Portland.
Wade talking to Knicks and Bucks. Is this how the big 4 going to get together eventually?  If they can move Wade they're halfway there!
Durant meeting with Clips and Warriors.

Free agent Nicolas Batum has reached agreement with Charlotte on a five-year, $120 million deal, league sources tell The Vertial.

This new salary cap is ridiculous - $24M a year for Batum.

Pretty good deal for Charlotte there I think.

So hard to tell; I have no idea how to judge new contracts.

This article explains things pretty well. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/6/30/12056030/nba-salary-cap-2016-details-free-agents-ridiculous

Basically, the cap has gone from 70, to 94 million which is the largest increase ever. So teams have more money to spend than ever. Parlay that with the fact that this is a very weak free agent class and you end up with Mozgov 16 million per year! :P

Evan Turner top 5 worst contract handed out so far

[Jay]

Bazemore re-signing with Atlanta, 4 year, 70 million. Meaning Horford is officially on the move!!! JCDISNGIROGJIOINAPIE CELTICS CELTICS

Btw, love the Dudley deal for Phoenix! 3 years 30 million is well below what I thought he would go for.

Would not be surprised if OKC move Kanter to fit Horford in, or at least try.  Although Horford wants to go somewhere to be the focal point so Boston makes more sense.

Fournier signed for less then ET

Solomon Hill who I have never even heard of just got a contract of 52/4 from the Pelicans.

Jerryd Bayless signed to a 3 year deal 27mill by Philly. Not a bad pick up considering his 3pt percentage was insane last season and they need shooters.

Durant meeting with Clips and Warriors.

Turner is a perfect fit for Portland, his ball handling will allow more spot up shots for Lillard and CJ

Wade is hardly "talking to anyone" he is still on european vacation ;)

Heard of a phone?  ;)  Word is Miami offered 10mill and he was disgusted.
