Bulls -- Luke Kornet (2yr/?), Ryan Arcidiacano (3yr/$9m)
I like Arcidiacano and this is a reasonable deal for adding depth at the PG position, which is gonna be a dog fight this season for the Bulls. Not sure what they see in Kornet, I've never seen much in him myself.
Celtics -- Brad Wanamaker (1yr/$1.6m), Daniel Theis (2yr/$10m)
Two reasonable deals to bring back some bench depth. Continuity is a good thing.
Clippers -- Rodney McGruder (3yr/$15m)
Very reasonable deal for a guy that was suddenly everyone's favorite player after the trade deadline last year. Reliable depth guy, I suppose the plan is to make him Kawhi's backup.
Jazz -- Jeff Green (1yr/$2.6m), Emmanuel Mudiay (1yr/?)
Another year, another team for Green. He's a reliable vet, the price isn't a burden and he's good for a good game (out of five). I thought Mudiay was pretty good for the Knicks last year, I think he's got a good chance to push Dante Exum to a trade deadline buzz word.
Lakers -- Jared Dudley (1yr/$2.6m)
Lovable guy, so-so player, pretty much exactly what the new look Lakers are looking for. (Seems like Jeff Green would've perfect here, too)
Mavs -- Dorian Finney-Smith (3yr/$12m), Boban Marjanovic (2yr/$7m)
Another raise for another guy from last year's bench--weird moves but if the Mavs take off next year it'll look like a genius strategy. Boban's good for about ten minutes a game (its the attempt to get twenty out of him where bad things begin to happen).
Nets -- Wilson Chandler (1yr/$2.6m)
Vet minimum for a vet who will bring the minimum.
Pacers -- TJ McConnell (2yr/$7m)
I'm telling ya, now: the Sixers are fools for letting McConnell get away. He's gonna be great for the Pacers' 2nd string and this is a bargain price (that the Sixers' easily could've afforded...tsk, tsk).
Pelicans -- Darius Miller (2yr/$14.25)
I figured Darius was on his way to the Lakers, where they're gonna need every low cost body they can find. But good for him for getting rewarded with a nice chunk of change from the new look Pelicans. (Take this with a grain of salt: listen, when Darius has his mind in the game he is as good as anyone in the league at his position--yeah, I said it!)
Pistons -- Markieff Morris (1yr/$3.6m)
The Morris twins are well known weirdos and their games aren't for everyone but I surely thought each of them could've made a lot more money than this or at least caught on with better team than the Pistons (Marcus is still out there, I assume he'll be getting more money?).
Sixers -- James Ennis (2yr/$4.1m), Shake Milton (4yr/?), Raul Neto (1yr/$1.6m)
I like bringing back Ennis, a work horse guy that can be really great for short periods of time (made for the playoffs). I guess they must think a lot of Milton and Neto, considering they could've gotten McConnell for what they're paying out here. Milton was a promising PG in the NCAA, hasn't really caught on yet; and I like Neto as much as the next guy but the Jazz didn't bring him back for their 3rd string PG, so not sure why the Sixers thought more highly of him. Tellin ya: letting go of McConnell will haunt this team.
Warriors -- Glenn Robinson III (2yr/?), Willie Cauley-Stein (?/?)
I'm a big fan of WCS, got a feeling that Draymond will make the most of him. Robinson is a perfectly reasonable bench filler until Klay gets back.
Wolves -- Noah Vonleh (1yr/$2m), Jake Layman (3yr/$11.5m; sign and trade?)
I thought Vonleh was pretty good with the Knicks last year, kinda surprised they didn't give him another two years. I always found Layman intriguing, not sure he's worth this much just yet, though.
