We’ve reached that very special time of the year again! NBA Free Agency is here, and boy has it been filled with excitement and chaos. LaMarcus Aldridge is now a Spur, Kevin Love decided to return to the Cavs after all, and DeAndre Jordan found a new home in Dallas.
Left and right, players are signing for exorbitant amounts of money thanks to the increasing annual salary cap (which will occur prior to the 2016-2017 season). Who would have thought that DeMarre Carroll could become a $60 million man over night?
Free Agency has been like Christmas in July for us here at The Sixth Man. We can’t get enough of the constant rumors, surprises, and Chris Broussard appearances. To celebrate, we’re pleased to present The Sixth Man’s 2015 NBA Free Agency Extravaganza!
As a part of this Extravaganza, we will provide updates on all the latest signings and acquisitions. We’ll also offer analysis and exclusive content over the next few days about free agency and what it means for the landscape of the NBA.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the crazy ride!
