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:
- Two of the top 10 free agents as listed in our Free Agent Power Rankings remain unsigned, and other notables are a part of our full list of 2014 free agents. We’ve profiled several of them with our Free Agent Stock Watch series.
- We’re also keeping track of the 2015 free agents as the ability for LeBron James, Kevin Love, Rajon Rondo, Marc Gasol and others to hit the market next year begins to affect the landscape of the league.
- Our agency database is a handy reference point for determining the representation for virtually every NBA player.
- Several NBA teams can pay no more than the minimum salary to any free agent signee for the coming season. Our updated list identifies these clubs.
- See how far each team has come toward accomplishing the goals we outlined in our Offseason Outlook series, which provides a detailed look at where all 30 NBA teams stood going into the summer.
- Our list of outstanding traded player exceptions is updated whenever a trade exception is created, used or expires.
- Eddie Scarito recapped and graded the draft from the perspective of every team. He broke it down into divisions (Atlantic, Central, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Pacific).
