NBA Free Agency Tracker: July 28th

As NBA Free Agency nears a month of activity more veterans sign along with and the poll continues to dry up.

Day 28 of NBA Free Agency hits another veteran seeking rings signs with a team and the Houston Rockets unsigned Donatas Motiejunas situation is becoming a real thing!

While David West left the Spurs for the Warriors as she continues his ring seeking, David Lee ironically replaces him on the roster with a 2-year, $3.2M deal.

Meanwhile the Wizards lack luster summer continues with the re-signing of last years Rockets free agent Marcus Thornton. His deal is a minimum contract with the caveat of a no-trade option.

Boston Celtics have inked rookies Demetrius Jackson to a 4-year $5.5M deal and Ben Bentil  to a $250k guarantee.

Demetrius Jackson is also under contract for $1.3 mil in 18/19 and 19/20 – both non-guaranteed, last year also TO @BBallInsiders Celtics
