The Milwaukee Bucks retained their big man, as the early trend in free agency of most players staying put continued Saturday.ĭillon Brooks, though, is off to a new beginning in Houston after agreeing to a four-year deal worth nearly $80m. The Los Angeles Lakers kept two of their best guards. The Suns agreed to terms with sharpshooter Yuta Watanabe, big men Chimezie Metu and Drew Eubanks, and wing Keita Bates-Diop on Friday and Phoenix also agreed on deals to re-sign wings Damion Lee and Josh Okogie. The Phoenix Suns are moving quickly to fill in the roster around Durant, Devon Booker and Bradley Beal.

The Chicago Bulls kept guard Coby White ($40m, three years) and added perimeter help by agreeing to a deal with Milwaukee Bucks guard Jevon Carter ($20m, three years) on Friday. LeVert, who bounced back and forth between starter and reserve last season, agreed to a two-year $32m contract, Niang signed a three-year $26m deal.

All those decisions came quickly Friday night as free agency in the NBA got off to its traditional fast and free-spending start - with roughly $1.5bn in deals getting struck in about the first three hours alone. Jerami Grant is staying put in Portland, for serious money.

On an opening night of NBA free agency where most big names - Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, Kyle Kuzma and more - stayed put, Fred VanVleet headed to a new home with Houston Rockets. Blazers GM Joe Cronin, though, says the franchise is focused on securing the best possible return for Lillard – and that they are looking for a star-level package. Lillard asked the Trail Blazers for a trade, a move that will end the seven-time All-Star's tenure with that team, and although multiple teams are interested, Dame wants to go to Miami. The other name available is Damian Lillard, who has decided after 11 years in Portland he needs to move elsewhere to contend for a championship.
