There's no shortage of free agent movement worldwide, as our constantly updated International Player Movement Tracker shows. Some of the most intriguing signings involve players who have NBA experience. Many ex-NBA types wind up in Spain, where the ACB league is widely considered the best professional circuit outside of the Association. China, too, is an increasingly popular destination, especially since its season ends early, giving players a chance to jump back to the NBA for the stretch run.

Neither of those two countries boasts the greatest number of ex-NBA players who've agreed to deals with overseas teams this summer. Italy has that honor, boasting 20 players with NBA experience who'll be joining teams in that country this year, including Kim English and Samardo Samuels, who saw NBA action as recently as this past season. Russia is next on the list, with the likes of Luke Babbitt, Mickael Gelabale, Andrew Goudelock and Jeremy Pargo. Some of the guys whose names appear below have limited NBA resumes, and a few only appeared in a single NBA game. Still, they represent the growing global connection between the NBA and leagues around the world.

This list doesn't include players who will be playing overseas on existing deals, and not all agreements are final. China, in particular, figures to see more NBA players migrate its way in the weeks ahead because of its convenient schedule, and many training camp invitees who fail to make NBA opening-night rosters will probably end up playing international ball. Those caveats aside, here's each country with pro teams that have combined for at least three new deals with former NBA players this offseason: 

• Italy (20): Troy Bell, Mardy Collins, Travis Diener, Jerome Dyson, Kim English, Malik Hairston, Jarvis Hayes, Othello Hunter, Linton Johnson, Bobby Jones, Coby Karl,Keith Langford, Jeremy Richardson, Samardo Samuels, Matt Walsh, JaJuan Johnson, Tamar Slay, Jerry Smith, Kyle Weaver, Edwin Ubiles
• Russia (19): James Augustine, Luke Babbitt, Primoz Brezec, Derrick Brown, Paul Davis, Mickael Gelabale, Andrew Goudelock, Luke Harangody, Viktor Khryapa, Yaroslav Korolev, Nenad Krstic, Aaron Miles, Sergei Monia, Demetris Nichols, Jeremy Pargo,Kosta Perovic, Sonny Weems, Julian Wright, Courtney Fortson
• France (14): Alex Acker, Alexis Ajinca, Jon Brockman, Yakhouba Diawara, Daniel Ewing, Taurean Green, Travis Leslie, Kevin Murphy, David Noel, Ryan Reid, Mike Scott, Mouhamed Sene, Pape Sy, Jawad Williams
• Turkey (13): Carlos Arroyo, Esteban Batista, Khalid El-Amin, Semih Erden, Lynn Greer, Nathan Jawai, Linas Kleiza, Damir Markota, Kirk Penney, Zoran Planinic, Walker Russell, Darius Washington, Sean Williams
• Spain (11): Joey Dorsey, Rudy Fernandez, Ben Hansbrough, Oliver Lafayette,Maciej Lampe, Raul Lopez, Bostjan Nachbar, Juan Carlos Navarro, Andres Nocioni, Andy Panko, Sergio Rodriguez
• Greece (8): Mike Batiste, Antonis Fotsis, Stephane Lasme, Acie Law, Gabe Pruitt, Cedric Simmons, Vassilis Spanoulis, Roko Ukic
• Israel (5): Ronald Dupree, Ndudi Ebi, Donta Smith, Antoine Wright, Tyler Honeycutt
• China (4): Bobby Brown, Ivan Johnson, Johan Petro, Yi Jianlian
• Germany (3): Martynas Andriuskevicius, Sharrod Ford, Casey Jacobsen

• Serbia (3): Ratko Varda, Charles Jenkins, Tarence Kinsey

Yesterday, we looked at the way training camp rosters were shaping up for Eastern Conference teams, and today we'll do the same for the Western Conference. Camps open in two weeks, meaning its crunch time for unsigned free agents and teams with roster spots to fill. Using our updated roster counts and our list of non-guaranteed contracts, as well as the rumors we've been tracking throughout the summer, I've examined what each team likely to do in the weeks ahead:

• Clippers: Slightly above the tax line, the Clippers could slip beneath it if they drop their non-guaranteed contracts and dump a little salary via trade, as HoopsWorld's Steve Kyler recently suggested. That indicates that the team might not carry more than the 13 fully guaranteed contracts it currently has, but with only 15 total players, the Clippers will surely sign more for camp. They were still interested in Lou Amundson as of earlier this month.
• Grizzlies: Memphis is another team with 15 players and 13 guaranteed deals, and though the Grizzlies find themselves a few million dollars short of the tax line, they're still exercising financial caution, having released Fab Melo last month. The front office will almost certainly add more bodies for camp, but they'll all be long shots to make the team.
• Jazz: Expectations aren't high for Utah this year, and with a year that seems focused on player development ahead, I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring the full complement of 20 players to camp. That means there's work to do for GM Dennis Lindsey and company, who have agreements with only 14 players, just 12 of whom have fully guaranteed deals. They were reportedly scheduled to audition Justin Holiday and James Nunnally this past week, and it sounds like they recently took at look at Ronald Murray and Dallas Lauderdale, as well. Second-rounder Raul Neto is unsigned, but it seems most likely that he'll play overseas.
• Kings: Sacramento might have rounded out its roster with its addition Friday of DeQuan Jones for camp, and with 14 fully guaranteed contracts, that leaves one regular season job up for grabs, at most. The Kings are at 17 players, leaving Jones, C.J. Aiken, and the partially guaranteed Trent Lockett to battle for the 15th opening-night spot.
• Lakers: The purple-and-gold figure to have a wide open camp, with just 14 players and 11 guaranteed contracts in tow as the preseason draws near. Second-round pick Ryan Kelly remains unsigned as he deals with injury, and as the only NBA team without a rookie-scale contract on the books, the Lakers could use an infusion of young talent. They'll probably add several young players, and they may be in the mix for veterans Lou Amundson and Sebastian Telfair, too.
• Mavericks: NBA teams are never done dealing, but Dallas is as likely as any team in the league to stand pat in advance of camp. They have 15 guaranteed contracts and four others on fully non-guaranteed deals. The Mavs could fill one more preseason roster spot, but there's no pressing need to do so, given that they appear to have their opening-night roster set.
• Nuggets: Denver added a pair of camp invitees this week, bringing their roster to 17. The Nuggets have 14 players on fully guaranteed deals and Quincy Miller on a partially guaranteed contract, so they may have all the bodies they need for the preseason.
• Pelicans: Lance Thomas has spent the past two seasons with New Orleans and has a tiny $15K guarantee for this year, but he's not a shoo-in for opening night. Only 13 Pelicans have fully guaranteed deals, and with just 15 total players, the Pelicans will almost certainly be signing more in the days ahead. James Nunnally is one possibility.
• Rockets: They may have 19 players, but the Rockets continued to pursue guys even after they hit the 20-man offseason roster limit last summer, so if that's any indication, there could be more movement in Houston before camp starts. Only 13 Rockets players possess fully guaranteed deals, but three more have partially guaranteed contracts.
• Spurs: San Antonio has 14 players on 14 fully guaranteed contracts, and though that leaves a spot open for 28th overall pick Livio Jean-Charles, he'll probably remain overseas this year. That means the Spurs are likely to bring in several players to audition for the 15th spot, though they're under no obligation to fill it. It sounds like they're prioritizing veterans, as Damien Wilkins worked out for them last week, while Mike Bibby, Mickael Pietrus, Sebastian Telfair and Josh Childress have all been linked to the team this month, though they're set to audition James Nunnally, too.
• Suns: Phoenix is in a tricky situation with 16 fully guaranteed contracts, meaning the Suns will either have to trade or cut one of them before opening night. Dionte Christmas is also with the team on a partially guaranteed contract, further complicating matters. They can bring three more players to camp, but any of them would be longshots to make the team. The Suns are among many looking at James Nunnally, and it appears they're also interested in Royal Ivey.
• Thunder: A report indicated the Thunder were unlikely to sign anyone of note for training camp as a replacement for DeAndre Liggins, whom the club waived last week. With a team salary approaching the tax line and 15 players already on board, the club may have its opening-night roster in place, but I still expect the team to sign a few young players for camp, if for no other reason than to retain their D-League rights for the Tulsa 66ers, their exclusive affiliate. Diante Garrett looks like he'll be one of them, and another might be second-round pick Grant Jerrett, who remains unsigned.
• Timberwolves: The T-Wolves have 14 players on 14 guaranteed contracts, and we've frequently heard that Othyus Jeffers, Robbie Hummel and second-round pick Lorenzo Brown will compete for the 15th opening-night roster spot, though none of the three have signed.
• Trail Blazers: It will be hard to earn a spot in Portland, where among the 19 players, 15 have full guarantees and another two are partially guaranteed. One of the non-guaranteed players is Terrel Harris, who seems unlikely to make the club in light of his impending league suspension. Still, anyone else who signs with Portland would appear destined for the team's D-League affiliate.
• Warriors: Golden State only has 12 fully guaranteed contracts, but the team is carrying three guys with partial guarantees, which is as many as any team in the league. Cameron Jones is with the team on a non-guaranteed pact, and it sounds like 2012 second-rounder Ognjen Kuzmic will be in camp, too.

Training camps start in two weeks, meaning time is dwindling for teams to fill out their rosters and for remaining free agents to secure invitations. Teams can carry as many as 20 players in training camp, and between 13 and 15 in the regular season, but not all of those jobs have been filled. Our updated roster counts show a wide variance in the number of open spots around the league, so some clubs will probably be more aggressive on the market than others in the days ahead. We'll break down each team's situation, starting with the Eastern Conference:

• 76ers: The team just began to reach deals with free agents this week, bringing Darius Morris, Rodney Williams and Khalif Wyatt aboard. They still haven't signed first-round picks Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel. Once they bring them aboard, they'll have only 11 fully guaranteed contracts among their 16 players, and with plenty of room under the cap, not to mention the league's minimum salary floor, the Sixers seem like an intriguing destination for unsigned free agents. That's particularly so given how much playing time is up for grabs. 
• Bobcats: The 'Cats have been relatively quiet this month as they sit at 15 players and 12 fully guaranteed contracts, but that inactivity isn't likely to last. They may be bringing Troy Daniels to camp, and the same goes for Abdul Gaddy. 
• Bucks: Milwaukee has 15 players under contract, all of them on guaranteed deals. That indicates that the team has a strong idea of what its opening-night roster will look like, but it seems like a safe bet that the Bucks will bring a few players to camp to grab their D-League rights and evaluate them for the future, if nothing else. Finding a place to stash those D-League players could be tough, though with five other NBA teams sharing their affiliate.
• Bulls: Chicago has only 11 fully guaranteed deals, and four of the other five are completely non-guaranteed. That indicates that there will be a wide open competition for spots at the end of the bench. The Bulls are keeping an eye on Kurt Thomas, and it seems likely they'll add at least one or two more bodies before camp starts.
• Cavaliers: The team appears to be looking to add a big man and a backup point guard, so perhaps the Cavs will prioritize those positions as they fill out their camp roster. They're another club that only has 11 guaranteed deals, and with just 15 total players under contract, they have plenty of room for more.
• Celtics: Space is at a premium in Boston, where the Celtics already have 19 players, 14 of whom are on guaranteed deals. The C's are about $500K under the tax line, which is motivation to simply keep their 14 guaranteed guys and leave the 15th spot open. Still, they have one more training camp slot available, and with the team's focus on player development, there's a decent chance we see Boston make another non-guaranteed signing.  
• Hawks: GM Danny Ferry appears busy as he targets probably two to four more players to add to the 16 the team already has. Adonis Thomas is a likely camp invitee, and the Hawks had an eye on Devin Ebanks before he signed with the Mavs. They've been linked to Chris Allen and Damien Wilkins in recent days. The Hawks have 13 players with at least a partial guarantee, and it sounds like the team will only carry 14 guys in the regular season, so everyone could be fighting over a single job.
• Heat: It sounds like there's a strong chance the Heat will carry only 13 players in the regular season. They already have 13 guaranteed contracts, and with four others on non-guaranteed deals, there's no pressing need to make another signing, even though three camp slots are available. Still, the Heat are among a group of teams reportedly looking at Hassan Whiteside, and they had workouts lined up this week for Julyan Stone, who signed with the Raptors, and Vander Blue.
• Knicks: New York only has agreements with 16 players, and with but 12 guaranteed contracts, it sounds like more signings are on the way. The team will probably add another big man, with names like Hassan Whiteside and Hamed Haddadi among the possibilities. If the Knicks seek to bolster another position, Richard Hamilton could be in the mix.
• Magic: The team still appears to be working on a deal with second-round pick Romero Osby, who would bring the roster to 15. Devin Ebanks spurned the Magic this week, but I suspect they have others lined up, with only 12 fully guaranteed contracts and the looming possibility of Hedo Turkoglu's release.
• Nets: Brooklyn, like Milwaukee, has 15 players and 15 fully guaranteed contracts, so the chances are slim that a training camp invitee will make the team. A report indicated Kyle Hunt would work out with the Nets at some point this month, and while there's been little other chatter surrounding the team, it would be a surprise if Brooklyn didn't bring a few more players to camp.
• Pacers: Larry Bird and company have mined the D-League for three training camp invitees so far, and with only 16 players and 13 fully guaranteed contracts, they may do so again. Like the Nets, they're taking a look at Kyle Hunt, who went undrafted in June.
• Pistons: Just like last September, the Pistons have 15 players with at least a partial guarantee as camp approaches. They haven't been linked to anyone of late, but last year they brought aboard two high profile invitees who didn't make the regular season roster in Terrence Williams and Jonny Flynn. We'll see if Joe Dumars goes that route again this time around or if he prefers young players instead.
• Raptors: It looks like there will be at least 17 players in Toronto's camp, meaning the club will likely add to the 16 guys it has for now after bringing aboard Julyan Stone and Chris Wright on Friday. Still, the Raptors have 14 players under fully guaranteed contracts, and there's no indication that number will change when the regular season rolls around. 
• Wizards: The Wizards are another team that seems to have its 15-man roster in place, and with seven players on rookie-scale deals, there's no compelling need to bring on young talent. They'll probably bring at least a couple of players to camp, but since they're sharing a D-League affiliate with four other teams, they may not be interested in securing the D-League rights of their camp invitees, as other NBA clubs do.
