Official 2008 NBA Offseason Trades/FA Signings Thread

This of course is to keep the continual player X has done thing threads into one location. It pretty much dismisses the draft and where Rookies signed but any trades for rooks are here and can be discussed as well.

There are some free agents still on the market, so the list will be update as it happens, but let me know if i missed anything. Im going to keep this thread as a list so we can all keep up with whats going on. I'll let you guys give me the yay or nay on whether you would like to keep the forums busy, or you would like it all in one spot. I'll make the final decision tomorrow. As for now, here is the listing of the transactions made this offseason so far and a list of Free Agents.

Oh and FYI

The NBA salary cap for 2008-09 season is set at $58.68 million
