The list of available NBA free agents continued to shrink on Monday, which was technically the first full day of 2019’s free agent period. Nearly two dozen more standard contracts were agreed upon, and a few more trade agreements were reached as well.
Listed below are July 1’s notable contract and trade agreements. For the most part, these deals aren’t yet official, so the reported terms could change — or agreements could fall through altogether. Generally speaking though, teams and players are on track to finalize these deals sometime after the July moratorium ends on Saturday.
Here are Monday’s noteworthy contract agreements:
- Maxi Kleber, Mavericks agree to four-year, $33MM contract.
- Seth Curry, Mavericks agree to four-year, $32MM contract.
- Tomas Satoransky, Bulls agree to three-year, $30MM contract (sign-and-trade).
- Wayne Ellington, Knicks agree to two-year, $16MM contract.
- Elfrid Payton, Knicks agree to two-year, $16MM contract.

- Bulls to acquire Tomas Satoransky (via sign-and-trade) from Wizards for multiple second-round picks.
- Timberwolves to acquire Treveon Graham, Shabazz Napier, and cash from Warriors.
Here are the rest of today’s noteworthy moves:

Whiteside to the Blazers is a major move. Moreso if Nurkic makes a successful recovery.
Assuming they keep the core, Matthews just made the Bucks bench even deeper. Whoa!
Kanter to the Celtics is a solid move considering they just lost Horford. He might not be as versatile as Horford, might not have the leadership skills of Al, but Kanter is certainly just as tough & he can more or less produce the same stats. Celtics now needs a reliable back-up for Kanter.
Seth just added even more firepower to the Mavs ammo. Looks like the Mavs is reshaping itself to the old run-and-gun-shoot-at-will team of Dirk and Nash.
