NBA Free Agency is so critical to the future of every team in the league. Every signing impacts the other 29 teams in multiples ways. A great signing can make your franchise look attractive next season or even lift you to an NBA Championship; moreover, a poor signing can decimate salary cap and ruin the potential for better free agents in the years to come.

*Although this isn’t a free agent signing, it is important to note that Paul George was traded to the Clippers for 5 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari. **Please note: Not every free agent that signed was included in this list. I tried to limit the list to both the big contracts and veterans’ contracts (ie: the ones I deemed important or impactful).
