Grading Every 2020 NBA Free-Agency Signing

And it certainly doesn't hurt that the Magic seem like they'll need a Wes Iwundu replacement.Grade: B+JaMychal Green is leaving the Clippers for the Nuggets on a two-year deal worth $15 million, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Green's arrival could portend Millsap's departure, though they still feel one combo big short—unless Bol Bol is ready to take on an everyday role next season.Grade: AJames Ennis III is returning to the Magic on a one-year deal, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Pat Connaughton is coming back on a two-year, $8.3 million deal, with a player option on the second season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.The Bucks needed this one. The Bucks will need a dab more from him—especially if Donte DiVincenzo still winds up being on the move.Grade: C+Jakob Poeltl has agreed to re-sign with San Antonio on a three-year deal worth nearly $27 million, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Poeltl should have an opportunity to take on a more prominent role in the rotation, but San Antonio will hardly be screwed if he's best suited in his current small-to-medium-bursts capacity.Grade: BJustin Holiday is coming back to Indiana on a three-year contract worth a little more than $18 million, according to ESPN's Zach Lowe.Pacers fans may now exhale.Re-signing Holiday was at once a necessity and not necessarily a given. (It looks even better if somehow folded into the Mason Plumlee deal as part of a Blake Griffin trade.) Grant isn't your typical $20-million-per-year player, but that's not an unreasonable price to pay for a 26-year-old wing who can switch across almost every position, runs the floor and has shot 39.1 percent from long distance over the past two seasons.It'll be interesting to see what offensive role exactly Detroit promised him to gain the edge over Denver. If the Clippers look into moving Lou Williams, it's at least in part because they know he (and Luke Kennard) can ferry some of the half-court burden.Grade: B+The Knicks peeled off a few stray bills from their towering stack of cap-space cash for Alec Burks, a 6'6" guard who put himself back on the map with a strong 2019-20 split between the Warriors and Sixers.The agreement will pay Burks, who averaged 15.0 points per game and shot 38.5 percent from distance, $6 million in 2020-21, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe. Those skills will matter in light of the Bulls' surprising decision to ditch Kris Dunn by declining to make him a qualifying offer.Still, it's hard to get past the notion that Chicago could have gotten much of what Temple will provide for the minimum.Grade: C-Davis Bertans is returning to the Wizards on a five-year, $80 million deal that includes an early termination option after the fourth season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.Related: It pays to be a shooter in this market.Coughing up $16 million per year for Bertans verges on vexing. The financial commitment is fine in the interim, but relative to how they fair next year, it has the potential to age poorly.Grade: B-Joe Harris is more than a shooter, which is probably the best place to start when explaining how $75 million over four years, as first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, actually constitutes a fair deal for the Nets.Yes, the 29-year-old is basically Hawkeye on the catch, as evidenced by his league-best 43.0 percent conversion rate on threes since 2016-17. Christian Wood is headed to the Rockets on a three-year, $41 million deal that's expected to be completed as a sign-and-trade with Detroit, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.Few could have envisioned saying nice things about Houston at the start of free agency. Now, after swinging a deal for Robert Covington and inking Derrick Jones Jr. to a two-year, $19 million agreement, as first reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Blazers have improved significantly on the original model.Jones keyed the Miami Heat's highly effective zone defense last season, leveraging his length, quickness and supreme athleticism at the point of attack. But the overarching value, coupled with the fact that the Lakers just stole a Clippers rotation player, makes the move justifiable.Grade: BMalik Beasley is returning to the Timberwolves on a four-year, $60 million deal, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Burke isn't the answer to the Mavs' shot-creation problems behind Luka Doncic, but he's the best secondary from-scratch option they have as of now.Grade: B+Dwight Howard is leaving the reigning champs to sign with the Sixers on a one-year deal, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. The Blazers didn't need to use their mid-level exception to keep him, and this can be considered a one-year deal, but it's a sizable season-over-season increase for someone working his way back from an injury that has torpedoed careers.To Hood's credit, he was having a fine season before he went down, averaging 11.0 points while canning 49.3 percent of his threes. He should have an implicit no-trade clause, since he was re-signed using Bird rights, but his 2020-21 cap hit will make for a nice salary-matching anchor should Portland broker a move that he approves.Grade: BDanilo Gallinari is joining the Hawks on a three-year, $61.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Figuring out the lineup intricacies is a job for later.Grade: BPatrick Patterson will return to the Clippers for a second season after agreeing to a one-year deal, according ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. He's returning to Utah on a three-year, $27 million deal, with a player option on the final season, according to The Athletic's Tony Jones.Spending what amounts to most of the mid-level exception on a backup center wouldn't sit right in every situation. If he can't be saddled with more of those reps or increase the pressure he puts on the rim in the half-court, this deal feels like it has a ceiling of net neutral.Grade: C+De'Aaron Fox has agreed to a five-year, $163 million extension with the Kings, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. That shooting didn't carry over to the parent club—he canned just 31.9 percent of his triples at the NBA level—but he looked more under control when working off the dribble and, equally if not more paramount, was far more disciplined on the defensive end, including off the ball.Grade: B+Another free-agent big man is off the board, and he's headed to...the Pistons!Jahlil Okafor has agreed to a two-year deal with Detroit, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Most notably, he moves his feet well enough on the defensive end and shoots a high enough clip from the foul line to be in late-game lineups.Bagging someone who may be more than just a viable backup center for under $2 million annually is a straight-up bargain.Grade: AMason Plumlee is inking a three-year, $25 million deal with Detroit, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The latter scenario remains to be seen, but even if you remove that from the equation, Detroit's line of thinking here makes little sense unless it's participating in some sort of sign-a-Plumlee-or-Zeller bingo tournament on the side.Grade: FWesley Matthews is heading to the Lakers on a one-year, $3.6 million deal, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. He announced his return to the Heat on Twitter.Miami is signing him to a two-year, $37.4 million deal, with a team option on the second season, according to Shams Charania of the The Athletic and Stadium.
