2014 NBA Free Agency: All of the Updates, Re-Signs, Trades, News, and Player Rumors
It has only been a few days since the NBA Free Agency market opened up, and in just that short period of time, a number of surprising re-signs, trades, and rumors have been unleashed.
Melo and LeBron, two biggest stars in the free agency pool, have yet to find permanent team homes. Media attention has been focused on the two juggernauts, leaving a lot of high-quality acquisitions to fall through the cracks.
With so much going on in the world of basketball, it's hard to keep up with the ever-evolving NBA roster, and for that reason, we've assembled a list of the biggest signing so far.
Kyle Lowry
Lowry was one of the NBA's most sought after guards, mainly due to his brilliant playoff performance and his 2013-2014 player averages.
Lowry racked up an average of 17.9 points and 7.4 assists last year, making him a seriously hot commodity. The Toronto Raptors jumped before Lowry had a chance to get away, resigning him to a four-year, $48 million deal.
Dirk Nowitzki
Although Dirk is past his prime, the former league MVP still has some good years left in the tank. Dirk re-signed with the Dallas Mavericks for a three-year, $30 million dollar deal.
Jodie Meeks
Former Laker Jodie Meeks signed a three-year, $20 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. Meeks was a solid player during his time with the Lakers, although there is still debate about whether he is worth all that money.
Meeks, on the other hand, took the best deal on the market and got out of town.
Darren Collison
Collison was a great backup during his time with the Los Angeles Clippers. Although they tried re-sign the guard, Collison decided to take his talents to the Sacramento Kings, scoring a three-year, $16 million dollar deal.
Marcin Gortat
After showing all-star caliber in last year's playoffs, Gortat was one of the most sought after players in the league. The Washington Wizards re-signed Gortat to a five-year, $60 million deal.
Thabo Sefolosha
Sefolosha, the long time Oklahoma City Thunder guard, has reportedly signed with the Atlanta Hawks for a three-year, $12 million dollar deal. Sefolosha will bring his amazing defense to the Hawks, which is another step to improving their playoff chances.
Zach Randolph
Randolph is the key element to the Memphis Grizzlies success. Randolph agreed to re-sign with the team in a three-year, $37 million deal.
