Biggest impact free agent signings

This is the most exciting part of the offseason. It's fast and furious, and it's the storm before the great calm. This is why X (formerly Twitter) is relevant. Free agent signings are quick, and one noticeable development is that there are more sign-and-trades now. Teams are cooperating with each other, and not trying to fleece the other team.

Since the salary cap has become restrictive with the second apron teams, front offices need to be creative, practical, and emotionally unattached. An example is the Klay Thompson deal. The Golden State Warriors did not value one of the most vital cogs in their dynasty, so he decided to leave. The Warriors accepted that, and worked with the receiving team (Dallas Mavericks) to get something in return.
