The Complete 2008 Free Agency and Pre-Season (Updated 8/5/2008 9:15 p.m.)

During this off-season, some of the most high-profile players in the NBA are free-agents in some form. Players like Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand, and Baron Davis all opted out of their contracts in order to pursue maximum contracts from their teams or elsewhere. While the potential 2010 and 2011 somewhat dwarfs the importance of this summer's free-agency, there are a lot of good, difference-making players out there and we will be following the process every step of the way. Enjoy and feel free to post any new developments in the comments section.
