After all the hype surrounding this free agent class the biggest names available were Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.
All of the big name superstars re-signed with their teams. Much to everyone's disappointment.
And after clearing up a whole load of cap space, New York missed out and ended up re-signing McGrady, Lee and Duhon.

For some reason these 3 teams decided to sign more point guards despite the fact that they all have a good young one already.
CHI - Hinrich, Rose, Bynum, Blake, Law, Murray.
MIN - Sessions, Fisher, Williams, Watson, Flynn.
SAC - Udrih, Felton, Ukic, Diener, Evans, Jaric.
Redick was actually my second choice, but I didn't quite have enough cap room for Tony Allen and I didn't want to use my MLE on him.
To be honest though, I only signed him as a back-up for Roy and Harden.
