NBA Free Agency Kicks off with a Bang

The 2024 NBA free agency kicked off on Sunday at 6 pm and although there was not a rush of big names, there was action. This is the time when teams make their moves from almost a contender to contender with one big signing. You know when your team thinks they are close or are selling away the assets. Most believe their team is close, but in reality, only a few teams with a single signing can win a title. Teams like the Hornets are well behind and one big name would not change their future. But a team such as the Sixers, now that one big name (Paul George) could make them champs, so this time is one of the most important in a season.

Here is a list of what has taken place so far,
