Brandan Wright and Nolan Smith both got huge deals. Wright is a defensive stud, but time will tell whether hes worth the MAX deal he got. Smith, who has done virtually nothing in the BBS, also gets a MAX deal. Smith has some very interesting ratings and could be a very nice player.

Hedo Turkoglu, Chris Wilcox, James Posey, and Kris Humphries all decided to stay with their teams from last year, and got paid handsomley to do so.

Chris Andersen and Etan Thomas both re upped with their former clubs for small amounts.

Ron Steele, Mike Mercer, Tasmin Mitchell, Andrew Bogut, Brian Zoubek, Jon Bender, Carlos Delfino all signed for MLEs. Steele is among about 4 PGs in Denver. Mercer should get some good PT in Sacramento with an up tempo pace that should suit him. Mitchell is a promising young forward tweener that should get decent PT in Milwaukee. Bogut and Zoubek should both get very good minutes in their new surroundings. Jon Bender should get some decent minutes in an uptempo system in Cleveland. And Carlos Delfina should be a solid backup in Indiana.

This is the first year I've had a MLE, and I'm ecstatic with who I got. I love Zoubek.

[Lumley316kings]

Kings are very happy and pleased to aquire a young talented scorer in Mercer, who willg et tons of minutes as are go to guy for now off the bench.

[kjkeelty]

Happy to get Delfino, who can shoot and defend. Never a bad combination.

[Lumley316kings]

Well he is young and could still go up and as of now he will be mostly used just to score bcoz thats what he is rated for and last time i checked 24 is still young.

[d2acollectables]

bucks very happy with mitchell and will look to resign him to a longer deal next year

[Lakers GM]

Loving Bogut, definitely needed backup center, and he's going to see a ton of minutes.

Young talent...Sacramento...is there a new Lumley??

Celtics have 16 mill in cap room, and really arent goin hard after anyone. Kinda surprising.

[GMHornets]

If I was him I'd try and get some expirings and go for the house in next year's great class.

[AJBBall]

Real nice pick up for me
