NBA Free Agency has slowed significantly with GM’s in Vegas focused on rookies and prospects.

In the past two days only 5 signings occurred:

Returning to the Hawks is forward Kris Humphries who takes a reported reasonable 1-year, $4M deal.

Leaving the Raptors to head to the Nets is Luis Scola who will be a solid locker room voice to help out. No terms were disclosed.

Adding yet another guard to the roster the Bulls signed point guard Isaiah Canaan to a reported 2-year, $2.1M deal.

Also resigning with his existing team Sasha Vujacic accepted a  reported 1-year, minimum contract with the Knicks.

And the Raptors used the what they had left to sign forward/center Jared Sullinger to a reported 1-year, $5.6M deal. Can’t say I’m thrilled with this signing, but it comes at a relatively reasonable rate.
