There was no surprises in this year draft, except Bobcats, which received only 4 draft position, although they had the second worst result in the league. Hornets were happy because they saved the first position, Hawks were also happy because they rised up one position. I was very happy, because Utah Jazz didn't get lower than 4th draft position. Other teams have got predictive positions.
Resign Players
After the season 4 of my players became free agents:

Andrei Kirilenko

Keith Van Horn

Raja Bell

Raul Lopez
Of course I resigned Andrei Kirilenko to a multiyear extension. He is the leader of my team and player with great potential.
I was thinking about other players either to resign or not, but when I knew that not many players are going to become free agents, I decided to resign Keith Van Horn for 4 years.
Raja Bell wanted to be resigned for 7 years. I think that it is very long term, the more especially as he is not progressing any more, so I didn't resign him.
I also didn't resign with Raul Lopez, because he didn't played well previous season, and I' going to draft better player at PG position.

Trade Players
New Orleans Hornets and Miami Heat did a deal

Chris Andersen is going to Miami.

Rasual Butler is going to New Orleans.
Minnesota Timberwolves also made some changes in their line-ups

Trenton Hassel will play in Indiana.

Jeff Foster will play in Minnesota.
I also traded one player. It is Howard Eisley. I noticed that some players' contracts will expire after this season, so I decided to trade Howard Eisley, whose contract is long and huge. I found a player that I can trade Howard Eisley on him.
Toronto was interested at PG position and I offered to trade Howard Eisley in exchange of Alwin Williams.

Howard Eisley for

Alwin Williams.
His contract will expire after this season so I saved about 6 millions $

I'm happy after this trade.
Another post will be about start of the new season and posible trades.
