Every Signing and Trade So Far, Plus Knee-Jerk Reactions

The free agency floodgates have opened and there’s been more moving and shaking than anyone with any semblance of social life, hobbies or employment could ever hope to keep track of.

So, we’re here to help with a full rundown of every signing and trade so far.

TRADES

Los Angeles Lakers receive: Russell Westbrook, two future second-round picks

Washington Wizards receive: Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, No. 22 pick

Every team Russell Westbrook plays for gets sucked into his vortex and he knows no other way of playing. Is that really what you want when you have LeBron James and Anthony Davis on your team?   

Chicago Bulls receive: Lonzo Ball (4 years, $85M) (sign-and-trade) 

New Orleans Pelicans receive: Tomas Satoransky, Garrett Temple, second-round pick

The Pelicans let Lonzo Ball go and have instead acquired Devonte Graham, someone who is an inferior shooter, passer and defender, all while giving up a first-round pick in the process. Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin and general manager Trajan Langdon have been atrocious since arriving in New Orleans.

Chicago Bulls receive: DeMar DeRozan (3 years, $85M) (sign-and-trade) 

San Antonio Spurs receive: Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a protected first-round pick, two second-round picks

Not everyone loves DeMar DeRozan’s game, but at least the Bulls finally have some real talent as the departing Spur joins Lonzo Ball, Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic in Chicago.

SIGNINGS

Chris Paul – Phoenix Suns (4 years, $120M)

That is a staggering amount of money to pay someone until they’re 40 years old. And yet, Chris Paul is an ageless wonder who very nearly won the Suns their first ever championship. Phoenix simply had to run it back with the Point God.

Stephen Curry – Golden State Warriors (4 years, $215M)

Steph Curry is now the first player to ever sign two $200 million-plus deals and it’s hard to think of many hoopers who are more deserving.

Kyle Lowry – Miami Heat (3 years, $90M)

The Heat famously keeping close tabs on their players’ body fat percentages was exactly what Kyle Lowry needed earlier in his career.

Carmelo Anthony – Los Angeles Lakers (1 year deal)

It had been rumoured for years and now it’s finally happened, Bron and Melo on the same team. Dwyane Wade’s FOMO must be off the charts.

Alex Caruso – Chicago Bulls (4 years, $37M)

Bald man gets paid.

Patty Mills – Brooklyn Nets (2 years, $12M)

Patty Mills is leaving the Spurs after 10 years in San Antonio. He was the last remaining member of their 2014 championship team. Another fun fact: he will face his old coach Gregg Popovich and his new teammate Kevin Durant when Australia plays Team USA in an Olympic semi-final on Thursday.

Evan Fournier – New York Knicks (4 years, $78M)

The Knicks know they aren’t getting Olympic Fournier, right?

Dwight Howard – Los Angeles Lakers (1 year deal)

The Lakers are the ex that Dwight just keeps going back to. The good news is the most recent Dwight-Lakers marriage was much more successful than their first one. The bad news is Howard may not have the same passion to prove himself, and a lot of players are hungrier for their first ring than their second.

Trevor Ariza – Los Angeles Lakers (1 year deal)

Ariza changes teams for the 12th time as the Lakers bring back an old friend who helped them win a championship in 2009. His return will provide a small dose of nostalgia for Lakers fans, but how effective he can be for LA at 36 years old remains to be seen.

Jeff Green – Denver Nuggets (2 years, $10M)

This marks the eighth consecutive offseason that Jeff Green has packed his bags and changed teams. His wife must be that sick of it.

Wayne Ellington – Los Angeles Lakers (1 year deal)

The Lakers badly needed shooting and Wayne Ellington will certainly help in that regard, having shot 42.2 percent from three with the Pistons last season and 38.2 percent over his career.

James Johnson – Brooklyn Nets (1 year deal)

There comes a day in every man’s life when it’s time to chase a ring.
