OFFICIAL Free Agent Tracking Thread (MERGED)

Technically, he doesn't go to the highest bidder, he goes to the bidder whose offer he accepts. Don't mean to sound nitpickey about it, but the player and agent choose which offer to accept and the team has to match that offer. This isn't an auction, it is something agreed to by both sides.
Since most of the time the offer accepted IS the highest bidder, most of the time your statement is true. There are occasions, I'm sure, when the highest offer is not the one accepted.

Just as a note -- I am trying to update this whenever I see something over the wire about a player opting out, a team not picking up an option etc. But I may well miss something so if you see anybody missing, or anything that has changed, feel free to post it and either I or VF21 will make the changes to the main list.
Danny Fortson, dirty player, don't like his attitude or the way he plays.
Robert Horry, single handedly declined the kings of going to the finals, no way he gets on the roster.
Jerome James, garbage man, nuff said
Grant Hill mayb, expensive and is getting old.
Eddie Jones, wold love to have him but yea hed never come here
Latrell Sprewell hell no!!! Cancer.

Check out the salaries page at Hoopshype.com. They've updated the rosters to remove Free Agents so they make a lot more sense now. Also, free agents are listed by team at the free agency page.
Also, both Hoopshype and RealGM are reporting that the Clippers are going to make a substantial offer to Ray Allen. They certainly have money to burn. Which makes me wonder, if they are as interested in re-signing Bobby Simmons as they claim to be, doesn't that make Corey Maggette trade bait?
Also, looking at Portland's updated roster, it looks like any of the following players are available for trade: Theo Ratliff, Zach Randolph, Derek Anderson, Darius Miles, Ruben Patterson. We've got a lot of trade bait too, and a couple of those guys sound like an upgrade at the frontcourt positions.
I was also wondering, if the Lakers decide to waive Brian Grant's contract (a remote possibility) would you be interested in picking him up to play PF for us? He's a tough player and despite his knee problems, may not be a huge risk at a discounted contract price.

Interesting note from Marc Steins column today:
• Shareef Abdur-Rahim, one of the prized frontcourt commodities on the market, will make visits to New Jersey and Sacramento this week.
Interesting, if we sign him it would mean that one of our frontcourt players would be on the move.
