Steve Blake has signed with Portland for $4.2m over two years.Thought he'd go back to Lakers
Looks as if Bulls are front runners for Gasol. Think that may change if Melo stays with Knicks. Although will he take the $3.3m that NY can offer him?
Thomas visiting the Suns? Surely Dragic and Bledsoe are enough although adding Thomas allows a pretty good backcourt on at all times.

With Free Agency being at a stand still at the moment, as we wait for decisions from Melo, Lebron & Bosh.
What does everyone think has been the best free agency signings so far.
I have just copied the list from ESPN, so sorry if I have missed any.
Going through the list, I think the Raptors have done a great job retaining Lowry & Patterson. Both are very productive players & should help them make the playoffs again next year. Lowry is one of only 2 players on the list with a PER above 20, so it was smart move by the raptors to resign him long term.
2nd Place - Spurs for bring back Diaw & Patty.
I think they overpaid for Diaw considering his age & got a bargain with Patty.
Both of these players give the spurs a good chance of repeating next year.

Although they have officially re-signed with the Spurs, I think Diaw and Mills is a great signing.

I've seen positive comments about the Livingston deal and also Frye to the Magic. The Spurs deal is good though doubt they ever entertained leaving. For Lowry, the idea of moving might've been attractive while the LeBron thing was a possibility.
