Hoops Rumors Features

Hoops Rumors passes along the latest news and rumors on NBA player movement 365 days a year, but those aren’t the only updates you’ll see on the site. On our right sidebar, you’ll find a number of additional features and featured posts. Here’s a rundown of a few of them:

  • We’re still keeping a close eye on free agency with the help of our list of 2013 free agents. If you want to look ahead to the summer of 2014 or 2015, we’ve rounded up those free agents as well. All of these FA lists will continue to be modified as needed.
  • Our Free Agent Tracker, which features data sortable by team, position, contract years, and contract amount, has been continually updated to include all of this summer’s deals, including training camp invites.
  • If you’re interested in monitoring the status of non-NBA players, be sure to check out our International Player Movement Tracker, developed with the help of Mark Porcaro. It includes data on thousands of players, and continues to be updated daily. Both our NBA free agent tracker and our international tracker will include moves up to the end of October.
  • Not all the players currently on NBA rosters have guaranteed deals. We’ve provided a schedule of contract guarantee dates so you can keep track of when teams will have to make decisions on those non-guaranteed players. We also have them broken down by team.
  • Our list of 2013/14 roster counts is a convenient tool for keeping tabs on how many players your favorite NBA team is carrying, and how many guaranteed contracts are on each club’s books.
  • With the October 31st deadline for rookie-scale extensions just over a week away, you can read about some of the offseason’s remaining extension-eligible players in our Extension Candidate series.
  • If you missed any trades made since the 2012/13 season ended, you can catch up using our list of 2013 offseason swaps.
  • Our agency database is a handy reference point for determining the representation for virtually every NBA player.
  • Using our 10-day contract tracker, you can find any 10-day contract signed since 2007, sorting by player, team, year, and other variables.
  • On Mondays at 4:00pm CT, I answer readers’ questions in a live chat. These weekly live chats have been on hiatus for much of the offseason, but are set to return next week along with the NBA regular season. In the meantime, you can check out transcripts of our past live discussions here.
  • Our list of outstanding traded player exceptions is updated whenever a trade exception is created, is used, or expires.
  • We’re tracking teams’ amnesty provisions — using our complete list, you can check to see which clubs have used the amnesty clause and which will have it available next summer.
  • The Hoops Rumors glossary helps explain some of the more complex concepts in the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
  • Zach Links rounds up the best of the blogosphere every Sunday in his weekly Hoops Links feature.
  • If you’re looking to catch up on a few days worth of content, our Week in Review posts round up the week’s news and rumors, while our Hoops Rumors Originals posts recap the site’s original content for the week. Both round-ups are published every Sunday.
  • Be sure to check out the Featured Posts section on the right sidebar for more original pieces from the Hoops Rumors writing team. Recently, we calculated next summer’s maximum contract scenarios for LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, examined how new team executives have fared this offseason, and looked ahead to projected 2014 cap space for all 30 teams.
