Even after several of this year’s top free agents – including James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Naz Reid, Julius Randle, and Fred VanVleet – reached contract agreements with their respective teams well before the first day of free agency, it was still an eventful June 30 in the NBA, with news of deals coming in both before and after the free agent period officially got underway at 5:00 pm Central time.
