The July moratorium is over and teams are now permitted to officially finalize all the free agent signings and trades they’ve agreed to since the new league year began (or earlier, in some cases).
Rather than bumping all of our previous stories on those free agent and trade agreements, we’ll be tracking all the previously reported moves that become official on Monday in the space below. We did the same in a separate article on Sunday.
To be clear, we’ll still be publishing new stories on breaking free agent and trade agreements. This space is just to track the moves we knew about before today if they’ve now been formally completed. In other words, if news of a deal breaks for the first time on Monday and is also finalized today (such as the three-team trade involving the Heat, Clippers, and Jazz), we won’t include it here.
These lists will be in chronological order, so we’ll add the most recent items to the bottom throughout the day.

- Hawks, Celtics, Nets complete three-team trade involving Kristaps Porzingis, Terance Mann, Georges Niang, and Drake Powell (story).
- Celtics trade Jrue Holiday to Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons (new story).

The Blazers and Celtics deal was so bad with the Blazers sending 2nd round picks to take on Holidays contract. It now looks better without the 2nd rd picks involved.
Their bad faith here should be noted
Lakers like bad faith
