Two former Tar Heels, Danny Green and Brandan Wright, signed free agency deals on Wednesday, a day that has been best summed up by Zach Lowe of Grantland with the first two sentences of his excellent piece on free agency: “Well, holy freaking crap. The NBA has never, ever seen a day like July 1, 2015.”
It wasn’t just a crazy day for NBA players but also a happy one — many players got paid big time yesterday, from Kevin Love to Kawhi Leonard to Jimmy Butler to Draymond Green. But the best part of the day might have been that everyone got paid, not just the stars.
