NBA offseason/ free agency UPDATES

This past week, there have been some interesting things that have happened this off season in the NBA. This week hasn't been any different in the NBA, from the free agency of varies players to the injuries. There was a surprising vote this past week that reflected the most like able players in the NBA this past season. Leading the way was Lebron James , with 12.9% of the vote, and coming in second was Kobe Bryant with 12.5% of the vote. Prior to this year Kobe Bryant had won the title since the 2007-2008 season. Lebron James had only one the title one other time before this season.(2006-2007 season)
 Free Agency has taken over the league and this past week it has been no different. Marcus Camby was a free agent center who had hopes of becoming signed again this off season. On sunday the free agent center signed with the Houston Rockets for a reported 1.4 million( which is the veteran minimum). The 39 year old was reported last season to have went to the Toronto raptors as part of a trade with the New York Knicks, so they could receive Andrea Bargnani. Camby will join the  rockets centers Dwight Howard and Omer Asik this season. Another headling story this past week in the NBA was Suns forward Luis Scola. Scola was born and raised in Argentina, but would come to the NBA to begin a career, spending his first five seasons with the Houston Rockets. The suns would trade Scola to the Indiana Pacers for forward Gerald Green , center Miles Plumlee, and a lottery- first round draft pick. Another headling free agent this off season was finals break out star Gary Neal. Neal had played in the D- League in past seasons, before he made the San Antonio Spurs team. He was a key bench player for the spurs in the finals, helping the spurs win a very important game 3 in the finals by putting up a career high 24 points. The Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of signing the former San Antonio star, negotiations should be finalized as soon as Saturday. We should know in the coming days where the former San Antonio star will be headed next season.
