NBA Free Agency Tracker: July 13th to 17th Update

NBA Free Agency has slowed significantly in the past week as the free agent list diminishing.

In the past week these signings and trades occurred in NBA Free Agency :

Jordan Hill exits the Pacers to sign a 2-year $8M deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Former number 1 draft pick Anthony Bennett continues to seek out a niche in the NBA as he signed with the Brooklyn Nets on a 2-year veteran minimum deal. This represents his 4th team (Cavaliers, Timberwolves and Raptors) in his short 3-years in the league.

Two others signing with the Nets are Randy Foye who leaves OKC on a reported 1-year deal and Joe Harris who exits Cleveland on a 2-year deal

The Hornets signed Vegas Summer League stand out Christian Wood on a 2-year minimum deal

Another standout in Vegas Jonathan Gibson signed a 3-year minimum deal with the Mavericks

The Golden State Warriors are bringing back Anderson Varejao on what one would presume is a veteran league minimum deal.

Closer to home Terrence Jones signed a 1-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans believed to be a veteran minimum deal

Coming back to the Houston Rockets is Pablo Prigioni on a 2-year veteran minimum deal

Quincy Acy has agreed to a 2-year minimum deal with the Dallas Mavericks.

Although already reported the Spurs locked in Manu Ginobili on a $14M 1-year deal

Two other signings by the Spurs were minimum deals with Ryan Arcidiacono and Davis Bertans

Also of note Philadelphia 76ers fans will finally get to see their draft prospect as Dario Saric has signed a 4-year rookie scale contract with the club.

And in a trade the Cavaliers send little used Sasha Kaun to the 76ers so they could free space to sign Chris ‘birdman’ Andersen

Chris Andersen subsequently signs with Cleveland Cavaliers on 1 year veteran minimum deal

Raymond Felton leaves Dallas to join the Clippers on a reported 1-year minimum deal

A standout last summer in Vegas was Maurice Ndour, so it was little surprise he inked a 2-year minimum deal with the Knicks

In a straight up trade the Magic send Devyn Marble and a 2020 second round pick to the Clippers in exchange for C.J. Wilcox and cash
