NBA Free Agency: Trades, signings you missed while waiting on Hayward's decision

If July 4, 2016 was all about Kevin Durant in the NBA world, then July 4, 2017 had everything to do with Gordon Hayward. The All-Star forward had fans on pins and needles as he contemplated his free-agent decision, eventually agreeing to sign with the Boston Celtics.

But while we waited for Hayward's decision and stuffed ourselves with hot dogs, plenty of other moves went down. Here's a quick recap of all the things you might have missed.

The dream offseason continued for the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, landing free agent targets Zach Randolph and George Hill. Randolph reportedly agreed to a two-year, $24 million deal, while Hill's contract will reportedly be three years, $57 million. The Kings couldn't have asked for two better veterans to come in and engender a hard-working culture with all the youngsters in Sacramento. Hill can take rookie De'Aaron Fox under his wing while Randolph can work with bigs Willie Caulie-Stein, Skal Labissiere and Georgios Papagiannis. Not to mention the fact that Hill and Randolph are both still productive players in their own right. The two huge signings will help accelerate the post-DeMarcus Cousins rebuild starting next season.

The Clippers made up for some of the scoring they'll miss from Chris Paul's departure by picking up Danilo Gallinari in a three-team trade with the Nuggets and Hawks. Millsap, who already agreed to terms with the Nuggets, will head to Denver while the Hawks will receive Jamal Crawford, Diamond Stone and a 2018 protected first-round pick. Gallinari will add to a frontcourt of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan while giving the Clippers some much needed shooting. The Hawks will receive a potential rotation big man in Stone and a draft pick to help aid the rebuilding process. Crawford would be a nice piece, but reportedly would like to be bought out. Speaking of which ...

Jamal Crawford reportedly wants to be bought out by the Hawks, and his preferred destination would be the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers reportedly have interest as well, and the 37-year-old professional bucket-getter could end up starting alongside prized rookie Lonzo Ball in the Lakers' backcourt.

Just a day after Kevin Durant took well under the max to give the Warriors some spending flexibility, Golden State used some of that money to sign journeyman wing Omri Casspi. At 6-foot-9 Casspi is capable of playing both wing positions and is a career 37 percent 3-point shooter. At this point none of the Warriors' offseason pickups are going to be earth-shattering, but Casspi is a nice piece who could develop into a rotation player if he buys into the system.

On the same day they missed out on Hayward, the Heat said goodbye to one of their iconic players of the past several years, officially waiving forward Chris Bosh. The move was expected and will remove the remaining $52.1 million of Bosh's contract from Miami's books. In his farewell address, Pat Riley said that Bosh, who spent six seasons in Miami and helped bring the city two titles, will have his jersey hanging from the rafters one day.

One way or another, Otto Porter is going to sign a $104 million contract. The Nets agreed to extend Porter a max offer sheet, but reports indicate that the Wizards have every intention of matching it. Once Porter, a restricted free agent, signs on July 6, the Wizards will have 48 hours to match the offer. 

The Thunder continued to build around their new superstar nucleus of Russell Westbrook and Paul George by reportedly adding veteran forward Patrick Patterson on a three-year, $16.4 milllion deal. The Thunder had a gaping hole at the starting power forward spot last season after the departure of Serge Ibaka, so Patterson could very well fill that gap. The seven-year veteran spent the last four seasons with the Toronto Raptors and is a capable 3-point shooter, hitting 37 percent for his career.
