JJ REDICK
The Philadelphia 76ers made a big splash in free agency on Saturday, as they scooped up JJ Redick on a one-year, $23 million deal. It was a brilliant move for the Sixers, as Redick address their biggest on-court need, 3- point shooting.
Raptors, Serge Ibaka Reportedly Agree To 3-Year, $65 Million Deal
SERGE IBAKA
The Toronto Raptors and free-agent big man Serge Ibaka have reached an agree- ment on a three-year, $65 million contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Woj- narowski.
Ibaka, 27, joined the team in February in a trade with the Orlando Magic.
This deal represents a win for the Raptors, who lost free- agent forward P.J. Tucker -- also acquired at the deadline - - to the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Their next order of busi- ness will be finalizing a new contract for star guard Kyle Lowry, who shares an agent with Ibaka.
Paul George Traded To
Monstrous $201 Million
Oklahoma City Thunder; Says
Contract; $40M Per Year
Goodbye To Pacers Fans
After NBA free agency tipped off just at midnight on Saturday, one of the first deals that got done was Steph Curry's monstrous contract with Golden State.
If you somehow missed it, Curry agreed to a five-year, $201 million deal that will pay him an average of $40.2 million per year, which is the highest average annual value of any contract ever signed by a player in the four big North American sports.
It also means that Derek

Carr now has only the sec-
ond richest contract in the Bay Area signed this year.
Paul George is no longer with the the Pacers. Only hours before free agency started, Indiana pulled the trigger on a trade sending George to the Thunder.
The Thunder will now get one year to convince George to stay before he's a free agent in 2018. With the cur- rent MVP, Russell West- brook, playing with him that could potentially be enough to stay around depending on how his season goes.

George tweeted a letter to Pacers fans saying "Thank You."
Warriors, Andre
Paul Millsap Agrees To Three- Year, $90M Deal With Nuggets
Iguodala Agree To
Free agent Paul Millsap has agreed to join the Denver Nuggets on a three-year deal worth $90 million. The third year of the deal is a team op- tion.
Millsap, who was ranked No. 6 on a list of top free agents this offseason, spent the last four seasons in At- lanta where he was a four- time All-Star and an NBA All-Defensive Second Team
Three-Year, $48M Deal
In the past few days, mo- mentum seemed to be build- ing toward Andre Iguodala leaving the Golden State Warriors, as the two sides didn't even meet during the initial pe- riod of free agency.
Instead, Iguodala met with a number of teams, in- cluding the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings.
But on Saturday after- noon, Iguodala and the Warriors had gotten to- gether, with the Dubs report- edly set to offer Iguodala a three-year deal.
Now a source is reporting

Shams Charania of The Vertical came in with the de- tails, noting that the deal will be worth $48 million.
Kyle Korver, Cavs Reportedly
Kyle Lowry Rejoining Raptors
During the midway point last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers swung a nice trade for veteran forward Kyle Korver, bringing in the elite shooter to help their bench as they tried to defend their championship.
Korver became a free agent once the season ended, but it appears that the Cava- liers were not willing to part ways with him. The Cavs have agreed to a three-year,

Great news for the Toronto Raptors, however, Kyle Lowry announced he will return to the Raptors.
Lowry, whose new deal is worth a reported three years and $100 million, is the biggest reason the Raptors have made the playoffs the last four years and estab- lished themselves as a stable organization. This summer, with his future up in the air, was an inflection point for the franchise.
Had Lowry left, the front office would have at least had to consider a full rebuild. Now that he's staying, it will
rver.
Shaun Livingston Reportedly
Agree On Three-Year, $22M Deal
Agrees To 3-Year, $24M Deal
The Golden State Warriors are trying to keep their championship roster mostly in tact by the looks of it.
KYLE LOWRY
continue to try to construct a championship-level roster. In his essay, Lowry wrote that he believes this can hap- pen "sooner than later." We'll have to see on that one.
After reaching an agree-
ment with Stephen Curry
to a supermax contract, the
Warriors reached one with
Shaun Livingston on a
bargain 3-year $24 million
deal. Livingston's size and
length makes him one of the
peskier point guards in the NBA.
