One of the most unique things about the NBA that sets it aside from other leagues to me, are the summer leagues. Each offseason summer, franchises assemble teams filled with rookies, young players, journeymen, and undrafted free agents. What’s cool about this season, is that NBATV will be airing every game live (For the schedule, click here).
Today, 4 games took place at Orlando’s practice facility, and I was able to watch the Thunder/Celtics matchup and the Nets/Sixers matchup. Without getting into a full out wrap up, the Thunder showed some …
We’re just a couple days away until signings become official, but there have been a couple more big names accepting offers in the last two days. Here’s a look at what has been stirring since NBAtoday’s last update on Sunday!
That’s Amar’e in New York
One of the big name free agents has changed addresses, and his name is Amare Stoudemire.
The New York Knicks have not given up on nabbing LeBron James or Dwyane Wade as well, but they did strike a five year, $99.7 million deal with Stoudemire on Monday evening. …
When free agency opened up on July 1, our boy JB covered the craziness that way the first day of negotiating. We did learn a few things on that day, but even more has opened since. Just to clarify, players cannot start signing officially until later this week, so just about anything can happen! Check back to NBAtoday.net to ensure you are kept up to date on signings and more rumors as they happen.

Joe Johnson. It is reported that the Atlanta Hawks are offering Joe Johnson a six year, 119 million dollar contract. All I can say is wow. …
With today being July 1st, LeBron is currently getting ready to meet with the likes of Mikhail Prokhorov, Jay-Z, and Donnie Walsh trying to figure out what jersey he will be donning next year. However, the folks in Cleveland haven’t been taking this lying down. The people at “Please Don’t Leave, 23,” have created t-shirts, videos (see below), and the owner of the site is even driving around a “Witness” car that is moving petition signed by Cleveland fans throughout the state.
LeBron, as much as I would like you to …
Where is everybody going?
I really wish it was that simple. Well, starting tomorrow, things will start to get a little simpler as teams may begin discussing contracts with any free agent they wish. In this post, the goal will be to sort out the mess, attempting to clearly show where I think a lot of the big names will be going. Along the way, I’ll probably highlight some things I think others are overlooking.

The Teams who have the Money to Make Moves: Knicks ($34.5M), Nets ($30M), Bulls ($29.9M), Heat ($27.5M), …
Will Dirk Leave Big D? Wow. The free agent season just got a little crazier. Dirk Nowitzki, the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in German Dallas history has declined the last year of his contract (which was worth $21.5 million). Supposedly the President of the Mavericks, Donnie Nelson, is set to fly to Germany on Thursday when the madness begins. I wonder what Mark Cuban is thinking right now. This move clearly shows that Dirk wants to win a championship, because most players are going to take that $21.5 million all …
