So I figured with all the other teams in the league making moves, we should start a thread on it instead of having to discuss each move in a new thread. Here is a list of free agents, and what they have done.

1. Lamar Odom: Talks have resumed with Lakers.
2. Ben Gordon: Signed with Detroit
3. Paul Millsap: Resigned with Jazz
4. David Lee: Likely between NYK/OKC
5. Hedo Turkoglu: Headed to Toronto.
6. Trevor Ariza: Signed with Houston
7. Shawn Marion: Traded to Mavs
8. Ron Artest: Signed with LA Lakers
9. Jason Kidd: Resigned with Dallas
10. Marvin Williams: Likely return to ATL
11. Andre Miller: Signed with Portland
12. Mike Bibby: Signed with ATL
13. Charlie Villanueva: Signed with Detroit
14. Anderson Varejao: Likely back with Cleveland
15. Ramon Sessions: Knicks Appear to be Front Runners
16. Nate Robinson: Many Teams are interested
17. Allen Iverson: Close to Signing with Clippers
18. Antonio McDyess: Signed with Spurs
19. Rasheed Wallace: Signed with Boston
20. Raymond Felton: Likely back to CHA
21.Grant Hill: Signed with PHX
22. Marcin Gortat: Stays with Magic
23.Chris Andersen: Resigned with Denver

Anyways, if you hear any other rumors or think there are some other FA's I should add I'd be happy too. Let me know!

What do you guys think about the Turk to Portland Deal. 5 year/$50 Million is a ton.

So now it looks like Hedo isn't signing with the Blazers and could in fact be signing with the Raptors.

Double bonus for the Jazz, NW division doesn't get tougher, and a team that will be competing with the Knicks in the middle to lower half of the Eastern Conference could get better.

Ya Hedo in Portland would have made that team scary. Should be interesting if the add Lee...I can see the Millsap vs. Lee headlines now...

Did Hedo just pull a Boozer?...oh snap!

So far so good, actually...... Several teams in the East getting sronger, and if the Knicks lose Lee and Robinson (or preferably both) we're in good shape for 2010 draft........

LOL, perfect situation for the Jazz.

Not only did Turk screw over the Blazers, and make the East better, but now the Blazers are looking like they are going to steal Lee away from the Knicks. :rofl:

This couldn't have worked out better.

So I didn't keep up on this as well as I wanted too. Been pretty busy lately.

Latest news:

Shawn Marion to the Mavericks
Andre Miller to the Blazers

So pretty much just Lee and Nate are still out there. Sessions too, I bet he gets matched.
