I thought it'll be better to keep one thread for all the NBA free agent signings. Obviously if there are threads about some of the big names (LeBrom, Wade, Bosh) it's understandable. For a lot of the other ones though, we can keep one thread. Use your discretion on which signings should get its own thread and which can be put in here. Thanks guys!

Rudy Gay Agrees to Max Deal with Grizzlies

Rudy Gay(notes)  has agreed to a five-year, $81.6 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, his representatives at Octagon confirmed to Y! Sports.

The fifth and final year of the contract will be at Gay's option.

"We have a verbal agreement on a deal," said Gay's agent, Jeff Austin.

The Grizzlies had the right to match any offer made to Gay because he's a restricted free agent. But by reaching agreement quickly, they prevented another suitor - like the Minnesota Timberwolves - from front-loading a contract offer with a signing bonus that could have necessitated a first-year payment of $20 million.

NBA.com first reported the agreement.

Drew Gooden signs with Bucks

Drew Gooden(notes)  has reached agreement on a five-year, $32 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Gooden has played for eight teams in eight seasons, and hopes to find some stability with the fast-rising Bucks.

Bucks general manager John Hammond and agent Dan Fegan struck quickly on Thursday and cut a deal to help solidify Milwaukee's frontline. Gooden will join a core of Andrew Bogut(notes) and Brandon Jennings(notes) that has added Corey Maggette(notes) and Chris Douglas-Roberts(notes) in the offseason. The Bucks are still negotiating with free agent John Salmons(notes) to return.

Grizzlies and Hawks are out of their mind ... Max deal for Rudy Gay , are you fucking kidding me ... dude is worth 8-10 millions a year , not more

Joe Johnson new contract will be one of the worst in the history of the league....

Now a lot of players from superstars to role players are going to ask way more than they are actually worth  :-X

7even:
The Hawks offered more than 120 mil to Joe Johnson? lmao...

Yao will sign with the Rockets for sure...

Dirk will very likely sign with the Mavs...

From what it looks like, the Knicks might end up with a fucked up consolation prize like Amare and noone else... this would be funny as fuck
