NBA Free Agency Update for week of July 10

NBA free agency began 17 days ago, so let’s look at the signings this past week.

With most the big fish off the board in NBA free agency, teams began to sign players in the next tier down to fill out their rosters. After the initial ten days this past week saw most of the remaining top dogs signed and more reserve or specialist players picked up.

For a complete list of NBA free agent signings by team visit this link. The list of players added since then are as follows:

Monday July 10th:

Alan Williams re-signs with the Phoenix Suns on 3-year $17 million deal

Phoenix big man Alan Williams signs 3 years, $17M with Suns. Tired of waiting for Knicks to open more cap room after Hardaway splurge.

Tuesday July 11th:

Ron Baker re-signs with New York Knicks on a 2-year $8.9million deal. The second year is a player option.
Atlant Hawks agreed to a 2-year $14 million deal with former San Antonio Spurs big man Dewayne Dedmon.

Wednesday July 12th:

After the Detroit Pistons traded for Avery Bradley they renounced Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. While many expected the shooting guard may become another target for Sean Marks he surprised many by signing with the LA Lakers. The $18 million one year deal could be feasibly considered an audition. If KCP impresses Magic Johnson and co. could re-sign him next season or stick with their expected plan to target big free agents like OKC Thunder new acquisition Paul George. As per NBA Central’s tweet the Pistons offered KCP a deal of 5-years $80 million, but he declined.

The Pistons offered Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 5 years/$80M. He denied.

The Utah Jazz picked up two NBA free agents Tuesday in their first moves since the loss of Gordon Hayward to the Celtics.

Friday July 14th:

After the Lakers renounced Tarik Black the Rockets signed him to 1-year, $3.2 million deal.
