If this week of NBA transactions, rumors and reports hasn’t already been wild enough, get ready – now it’s time for free agency. The league announced earlier this month that the 30 teams would be allowed to begin negotiating with free agents Friday at 5 p.m. Central. On Sunday, you may want to keep one eye on football and the other on Twitter, because NBA teams can officially announce signings of players at 11 a.m. Central, an hour before seven games kick off in NFL stadiums.
New Orleans enters Friday’s free-agent period with nine free agents, divided into two categories: Unrestricted and restricted.
