2009 NBA Free Agents
By InsideHoops.com | Updated July 24, 2009
NBA free agents are players that do not have jobs next season. In other words, 2009 NBA free agents listed for each team below were playing for the team at the end of the 2008-09 season, but now need a new contract.
Also see top remaining NBA free agent rankings.
2009 NBA free agent negotiations began July 1. Signings began July 8.
Restricted NBA free agents can sign with any team that has the salary cap space to sign them, but the original team they were on last season can match the offer within 14 days and keep the player.
Unrestricted NBA free agents can sign with any team (again, within the rules of the salary cap), and once they sign, they've joined that team and that's that.
A (T) means Team Option. The team can choose whether to keep the player's contract going or end things.
A (P) means Player Option. Which means the player has the option to end his contract and become an NBA free agent.
An (ETO) means Early Termination Option. For all intents and purposes it's the same as a player option.
