MY NOTE:  LBJ was never going to leave Cleveland.  DeRozan was never coming to Boston (and maybe that's a good thing).  That means that, other than those two, we got the #2 free agent available.  Not bad.

Jordan Hill, David Lee and Amare are ranked lower than Seth Curry?  Ouch.

Sully ranked #32, but lower ranked Mozgov and Mahinmi got offers and he's still waiting.  Message delivered.  Received?

Sully is restricted last I checked.

no RFA's have singed except with their own teams, so far.

Did I read that GS renounced Barnes rights so he is an UFA now?

Barnes to Dallas. Bogut being traded to Dallas for a 2nd round pick to free $ for Durant.

Zaza to sign with GSW, so now they have a center.
