PORMAL na nagbukas kahapon ang free agent signing sa NBA at agad na kumilos ang New York Knicks para patibayin pa ang lineup nito at makasabay sa nagpalakas na Brooklyn Nets.
Ayon sa source ng Yahoo! Sports, inaayos na ang napipintong paglipat ni Andrea Bargnani sa Knicks kapalit nina Marcus Camby, Steve Novak at ang first-round pick ng New York sa taong 2016.
Kapag natuloy ang kasunduan ay lalong lalakas ang frontcourt ng Knicks na kinabibilangan na ngayon nina Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire at Tyson Chandler. Nakuha rin ng Knicks sa katatapos na Draft si Tim Hardaway Jr.
Ang karibal nilang team sa New York na Nets ay nauna nang nagbalasa ng kanilang lineup. Nakatakda nang maglaro sa Brooklyn ang mga superstars ng Boston Celtics na sina Paul Pierce, Jason Terry at Kevin Garnett, kasama sina Deron Williams, Joe Johnson at Brook Lopez.
Mukhang tuluy-tuloy din ang ang pag-rebuild ng Celtics. Matapos ipamigay sina Pierce, Terry at Garnett sa Nets at lumipat si coach Doc Rivers sa Los Angeles Clippers ay kinakausap ngayon ng Celtics ang pamunuan ng Dallas Mavericks para sa isang trade na kinabibilangan ng All-Star point guard ng Boston na si Rajon Rondo.
Bukod kay Rondo ay interesado rin ang Mavericks kay Dwight Howard na isa nang free agent. Hindi pa malaman kung mananatili si Howard sa Los Angeles Lakers o lilipat siya ng koponan. Ilan sa mga nais na makuha ang kanyang serbisyo bukod sa Dallas ay ang Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks at Houston Rockets.
Ipinamigay ng Rockets si Thomas Robinson, ang fifth overall pick ng 2012 Draft, sa Portland Trail Blazers para magkaroon ng puwang sa kanilang salary cap sakaling makuha nila si Howard. Nagdesisyon din ang koponan na i-waive sina Carlos Delfino at Aaron Brooks.
Bukod kay Howard, ang isa pang high-profile free agent sa season na ito ay si All-Star point guard Chris Paul. Gayunman, sinabi na ni Paul na mananatili siya sa Clippers.
