The first day of free agency was a whirlwind — $1.3 billion in contracts handed out in one of the wildest, free spending sessions the NBA has ever seen. (Keep that in mind during the 2017 lockout when some owners cry poverty.)
There were great signings that were obvious, like a max deal from New Orleans to keep Anthony Davis. There were less high profile ones that were smart — Alex Ajinca for five-years, $20 million — and some others we’re not so sure about.
In this podcast PBT’s Kurt Helin andNBCSports’ Dominic Ridgard breaking down many of the signings from the first day plus of free agency, including the Monta Ellis and Arron Afflalo signings. By the way, we think the Suns overpaid for Brandon Knight.
