JULY 13TH, 3:55pm: The Clippers have officially signed Billups, according to a release from the team.
JULY 11TH, 5:25pm: The Clippers have officially signed Crawford, reports Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter link).
FRIDAY, 2:53pm: The Trail Blazers have officially signed Hickson, the team announced today (Twitter link).
WEDNESDAY, 8:48pm: A source tells Sam Amick of SI.com that Hickson's deal is worth about $4MM, which is pretty close to what he would have made with his qualifying offer (Twitter link). That would be something of an about-face for the Blazers, possibly triggered by Indiana's apparent willingness to either match an offer sheet or re-sign Roy Hibbert.
8:03pm: J.J. Hickson and the Blazers have agreed to a one-year deal, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports (Twitter link). The team elected not to give Hickson a qualifying offer which would have been close to $4.4MM, making him an unrestricted free agent, so presumably the deal is for less than that amount.
FRIDAY, 2:33pm: The Rockets have officially released Scola via the amnesty clause, tweets ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
THURSDAY, 8:57pm: Eric Pincus of HoopsWorld points out why Scola could actually clear the amnesty waivers and become an unrestricted free agent. An amnesty bid requires the incorporation of the non-guaranteed amount of the contract. While Scola was guaranteed $9.4MM and $10.2MM for the next two seasons, his final season was for $11MM with just $1MM guaranteed. A bidding team would have to account for the non-guaranteed $10MM over the life of the original deal (three years in this case), thus starting the bid at a minimum of around $3.3MM. Pincus mentions that teams won't have that kind of cap space to make such an offer, which increases the possibility that Scola clears waivers.
JULY 13TH, 2:03pm: The Pacers have officially re-signed Hill, the team announced today in a press release.
JULY 4TH, 11:49am: Hill's contract will be for five years and $40MM, reports Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld (via Twitter).
FRIDAY, 2:01pm: The Pacers have officially re-signed Hibbert, the team announced in a press release. Since the Blazers never signed Hibbert to an offer sheet, Indiana may have added an extra year or a little more money to its offer, but for now we'll assume the big man's deal is for four years and about $58.37MM.
MONDAY, 2:21pm: It sounds as if the Pacers will sign Hibbert outright to the same terms he would've received from Portland, rather than matching an offer sheet, tweets TNT's David Aldridge. If Hibbert doesn't officially sign the Blazers' offer sheet, that could give the Pacers more than three days to keep Hibbert's smaller cap hold on their books before making his new deal official.
JULY 13TH: The Sixers have officially re-signed Hawes, the team confirmed today in a press release.
JULY 4TH: Spencer Hawes and the 76ers have reached an agreement on a new contract, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. The $13.1MM deal will keep the unrestricted free agent under contract in Philadelphia for two more years.
The Spurs have officially re-signed free agent point guard Patty Mills, according to a team press release. Johnny Ludden of Yahoo! Sports first reported that the Spurs had agreed to a new deal with Mills.
The Grizzlies have officially signed first-round pick Tony Wroten, the team announced today (Twitter link via Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal). As the 25th overall pick in this year's draft, Wroten is eligible for a first-year salary of up to $1,110,120.
Wroten, 19, entered the draft after spending a single season at Washington. The 6'6" guard averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 30.3 minutes per game in his freshman year.
FRIDAY, 12:15pm: The Grizzlies have officially signed Bayless, the team announced today (Twitter link via Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal).
WEDNESDAY, 8:05am: Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal confirms (via Twitter) that Bayless' contract will start at $3MM, meaning he'll receive the Grizzlies' mini mid-level exception. The deal is for two years, with a player option for the second year, and is expected to be the last of the team's summer transactions, tweets Tillery.
Nets GM Billy King told reporters today, including Newsday's Rod Boone (Twitter link), that his team is "close" to signing Kris Humphries to a new deal. King added that "it's a process" and said that it mostly came down to money at this point, tweets SI.com's Chris Mannix.
Marc Stein of ESPN.com reported yesterday (via Twitter) that the Nets were said to be offering Humphries a three-year, $24MM deal, while the Bobcats' offer was for three years and $22MM. For Brooklyn, re-signing Humphries makes some sense, since the team holds his Bird rights and could only sign outside free agents to minimum-salary deals. Of course, the Nets could also get something in return if they pulled off a sign-and-trade deal to send Humphries elsewhere.
